    This album is sick. I know it's miles from Horizons but it really doesn't matter. Early Parkway, new Parkway, they're different but they're both great. It doesn't need to be one vs. the other, we can just love that this great band is still around and still making great music.

      Yeh dude I’m hearing you. I’m not loving this album but it does my head in how people complain when bands evolve. Id rather them
      Evolve away from my interests then just turn out 20 albums that all sound the same. Ire was a huge step away from what they’d done to that point and it’s one of my favourite albums they’ve done.

    Darker Still is such an awesome song. The melodies burnt in my brain when i heard you guys live. And the layers you put together is probably the best composing i heard in a very long time. Pls keep doing those experiments, they sound f***ing amazing. And the orchestration is totaly right, metal can be highly energetic and expressive and very complex on melody. From close to none, to parts that sing themself.

    The conductor is like many people I've met in life that don't realise metal music is more than yelling and noise. I've said many times to people , have you actually heard or listened to the lyrics. What the song is about, what it's saying. There's alot of meaningful, powerful music out there. just need to give it a try and listen.

    Dude , you guys killed it with this song. So many different styles and vibes in this , in the beginning I hear a Dire Straits type Rift from Brothers in Arms. The whistle is so Like Scorpions Winds of Change, and so much of your style! Drums that make you float , they lift you up, Guitars in your style stand lone. How you added Orchestra too, And your lead singer is walking a path all of his own.
    Dark is good ! The darker the better! More like Darker Still!

      They’ve spoke about this many times before, Jia is a full proper member of the band but they don’t use him on record as he’s not that good of a bass player, so they use Jeff so the record sounds as good and a professional as possible. No disrespect to Pie, it’s just a well documented fact that he’s not a very good musician and doesn’t know how to contribute much to song writing.

    The new "Gothic-Arena-Dad-Pirate-Metal" sound they've been going for since IRE is hugely triggering. Yea it may be more commercial but damn These Riffs Sound like a fourth grader wrote them. Usually, musicians progress with every album. More Budget and huge orchestra doesnt necessarily mean originality. It doesnt mean progress in modulative Fantasy, creative rhymths or Enhanced technical abilities. Horizon was their musical peak imo. We get it Parkway, you can sound like vikings. Get back to your roots asap. Just because you guys are getting gray, doesnt mean your riffs have to rust.
