Metalcore landmark right here.

I suspect they were big in Oz cause of local content requirements for radio stations and general lack of anything else (Australian metal scene is pretty shit).

What about Midnight Odyssey, Virgin Black, Lord, MurkRat, Aquillus, Woods Of Desolation, Black Majesty, Bel'ekor, Ne Oblivihoweveryouspellit and that sympho/gothic/doom band that I said sounds like a blackless modern Dimmu Borgir? We've got some pretty good bands, even if they aren't on the radio.

Totally agree, Australia's got some amazing bands! i think deadones perception of good metal (or for most things) is different to most on here, so wouldn't take his opinions to hart......sorry off topic

Yeah cause nearly all metalheads listen to obscure Black Metal and think Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Carcass, Nevermore, Pantera, Dark Tranquillity etc etc are utter shit.

because most people have realized theres more to metal than the eightees early ninetees

Alright guys there are other threads for you to debate listening habits of metalheads and such, but this is an album thread for Parkway Drive.

Let's try to keep it on topic, although you're welcome to carry on that conversation in a more appropriate location.

Oz has got quite a lot of great to good bands:

AC/DC, Alchemist, Altars, Armoured Angel, Atavism, Austere, Be'lakor (even though I think they are shit hahahaha), Black Majesty, Blackened Angel, Crone, Destroyer 666, Funeral Mourning, Grave Upheaval, Mournful Congregation, Murkrat,Nazxul, Rituals Of The Oak, Rose Tattoo, Rote Mare, Stone Wingsm Temple Nightside, The Slow Death, Woods Of Desolation

to name just a couple and there are loads more

My point was Parkway Drive (and the even worse I Killed The Prom Queen) got big in Oz because there was nothing else being flogged on radio.

Or because PwD are extremely good live. Generally even people who don't like the band admit that.

I saw them years ago and they weren't that great. IKTPQ were even worse.

They might've improved since.

Well if you don't want to mosh like the madman, there is no point to them live. I have also seen them in 2012 november and they put up a huge party. Winston is quite a charismatic frontman and they manage to move the crowd quite well.

I also like them on album but w/e.

Amazing guitar riffs, hardcore drops, great vocals, good and angry music. I dig it

Probably one of the best Metalcore albums I have heard, and usually not a big fan. Gotta check their other albums as well
