  Parkway Drive are set for a landmark year of performances, a sold-out symphonic show at the iconic Sydney Opera House in June — a powerful culmination and celebration of their 20-year journey. From there, they co-headlined the Summer of Loud 2025 tour across the U.S., which saw them playing some of their biggest North American shows yet. The band's landmark year will conclude with the band’s highly anticipated 20 Year Anniversary Arena Tour across Europe and the UK this fall. Joining them on this momentous tour will be fellow Australians Thy Art Is Murder, a deathcore powerhouse, and The Amity Affliction, celebrated for their emotionally charged post-hardcore. This massive arena run will feature Parkway Drive’s most ambitious production to date, performed with the passion and power that has defined Parkway Drive as one of the most important forces in modern metal.

Forged in fury and driven by defiance, the band’s brand of heavyweight riffage and sonic hostility is impossible to ignore. We exclusively caught up with the Paradox crew as they gear up to unleash chaos, and they let us in on the tracks that have defined, inspired, and fueled 'Deathwish'. Ollie Miles (Lead Guitar): Bleed from Within - 'I am Damnation':    "I just love BFW, and this opener on their Shrine album is them at their best. The riffs are so catchy, and that middle interlude right before the outro, which is just a few lead notes on guitar, but placed so perfectly, ties it all together amazingly well. It's a style of dynamic I tried to emulate when writing for this album." Jorge Nuñes (Rhythm Guit...
