Parkway Drive

Formed in Byron Bay in 2003, Parkway Drive have released seven full-length studio albums, all on Epitaph: Killing with a Smile (2005), Horizons (2007), Deep Blue(2010), Atlas (2012), IRE (2015), Reverence (2018) & Darker Still (2022). Darker Still entered the official German & Swiss album charts at #5, Austrian at#7, Belgian at #11, United Kingdom at #2 (Rock & Metal Chart) & US at#4 (Current Hard Rock Music Album Chart). In their home country Australia, the band had their 3rd consecutive #1 album on the ARIA chart and won 2023 ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Album for Darker Still.

Darker Still, frontman Winston McCall says, is the vision he and his bandmates – guitarists Jeff Ling and Luke Kilpatrick, bassist Jia O'Connor and drummer Ben Gordon - have held in their mind's eye since a misfit group of friends first convened in their parents' basements and backyards in 2003. 2023 marked the 20 year anniversary of Parkway Drive, and the journey to reach this moment has seen Parkway evolve from metal underdogs to festival-headlining behemoth, 7 critically and commercially acclaimed studio albums (six of which achieving Gold status in their home nation), three documentaries, one live album, and many, many thousands of shows.

To understand that growth is to understand Darker Still, both musically and thematically. Those who thought they had Parkway Drive figured out — the unrivalled energy, the high-octane breakdowns, McCall's trademark bark — need reconsider everything they know about Australia's masters of heavy. Darker Still stands as the culmination of a transformative time that has seen Parkway reach new heights of creativity and success by eschewing the restrictive, safe conventions of genre and abandoning their own self-imposed rules in favor of a wide-eyed appreciation of bold new horizons. This is the Parkway Drive the band have been striving to be for two decades. Emerging from the darkness of the past few years, this is the true face of Parkway — redefined and resolute, focused in mind and defiant in spirit.

The Amity Affliction

An Aussie metalcore group with highly confessional lyrics and a melody-driven emo-tinged sound, the Amity Affliction emerged in 2008 with Severed Ties. They hit their stride in 2012 with the release of their third full-length effort, Chasing Ghosts, which like subsequent outings This Could Be Heartbreak (2016), Everyone Loves You... Once You Leave Them (2020), and Not Without My Ghosts (2023), soared to the top of the Australian charts, and found international success as well.

Thy Art Is Murder

Thy Art Is Murder ascended the ranks of extreme metal's top tier bands with a meteoric underground rise as explosive as humankind's seemingly inevitable descent into doom and death. With their new album, Godlike, Australia's most harrowingly brutal export since George Miller's Mad Max franchise invites audiences worldwide to join them in a fresh Armageddon. The sixth explosive album in the band's arsenal, Godlike cements Thy Art Is Murder as death metal's modern torchbearers. A soundtrack to a divisive post-modern dystopia, Godlike sees Thy Art Is Murder explore new depths and dynamics without sacrificing an ounce of intensity or urgency the band have staked their career on.

I Killed the Prom Queen

25 years ago a group of friends formed in Adelaide, not knowing that they would forever change the face of heavy music all around the globe. I Killed The Prom Queen was not just a band instrumental in laying the foundations of the metalcore sound, but a cultural force that was critical to the creation of the pathways to success of countless other metal and hardcore bands who followed, with genre giants Parkway Drive and Bring Me The Horizon among the names that would not be the bands they are today otherwise. Over their three album run Prom Queen not only changed the game - they defined it. In 2025 its founding members - vocalist Michael Crafter, guitarists Jona Weinhofen and Kevin Cameron, and drummer JJ Peters reunite to celebrate their formative years of their history with a set spanning the band's first decade. Honoring the low end legacy of the late bassist Sean Kennedy will be the band’s one-time vocalist Jamie Hope.
