It sounds to me like Parkway Drive have been listening to some Scandinavian folk metal with their new track "Prey." Don't get me wrong, there is still plenty of their signature metalcore sound, but the hook sounds like something you might hear on an Amon Amarth or even an Ensiferum track.
By which I mean, you can find yourself in an Irish pub with a pint of beer swaying and singing along to the chorus. This is the band's second single, following "The Void" off their upcoming sixth studio album, Reverence, out on May 4th via Epitaph.
“Reverence represents the most honest and personal record we have ever created,” says Parkway Drive frontman Winston McCall. “It has been born though pain, sacrifice, and conviction, with the ultimate goal of expanding not only what Parkway Drive stand for musically, but who we are as people. Thank you for listening.” Here is the track listing for the album:
1. Wishing Wells
2. Prey
3. Absolute Power
4. Cemetery Bloom
5. The Void
6. I Hope You Rot
7. Shadow Boxing
8. In Blood
9. Chronos
10. The Colour Of Leaving
