Background information about 'Deep Blue'

When Parkway Drive unleashed "Deep Blue" in 2010, they didn't just release an album – they dropped a sonic depth charge that redefined Australian metalcore forever. This is the moment where the Byron Bay quintet shed their hardcore skin and emerged as genuine metal titans, crafting their most ambitious and emotionally devastating work to date. From the haunting Buddhist chant that opens "Samsara" to the crushing finale of "Set To Destroy", every track pulses with raw intensity and philosophical weight.

The album's conceptual depth matches its sonic brutality perfectly. Winston McCall's vocals have never sounded more commanding, seamlessly shifting between throat-shredding screams and surprisingly melodic passages that add layers of complexity to tracks like "Sleepwalker" and "Deliver Me". The guitar work by Luke Kilpatrick and Jeff Ling creates walls of sound that feel both crushing and cathartic, while the rhythm section of Jia O'Connor and Ben Gordon provides an unstoppable foundation. "Karma" and "Home Is For The Heartless" showcase the band's ability to blend crushing heaviness with genuine emotional resonance, proving that metalcore can be both devastating and deeply meaningful.
