Australia’s metal giants PARKWAY DRIVE have unveiled their new track “Sacred”. The anthemic new single marks the band’s first release since their 2022 album “Darker Still”, and arrives alongside a music video, directed by Third Eye Visuals.

Watch “Sacred” below.

PARKWAY DRIVE vocalist Winston McCall comments: “The mission statement for ‘Sacred’ is pretty damn simple. An anthemic wrecking ball of positive energy. Our lives and the way we exist in the world has been pushed further and further through the lenses and frames of negativity and hopelessness. Obsession with everything we lack, everything we hate, everyone we blame, everything that keeps us down. We sell the unique parts of us most precious just to buy back manufactured pieces of self in order that we may feel whole again. ‘Sacred’ is our identity. ‘Sacred’ is our time. Never lose sight and never lose hope.”

PARKWAY DRIVE‘s seventh album, “Darker Still”, came out in September 2022 via Epitaph Records.

PARKWAY DRIVE are hitting the road for an epic 20th-anniversary European arena tour in October and November 2025.

With support from deathcore powerhouses THY ART IS MURDER and post-hardcore favorites THE AMITY AFFLICTION, this ultimate Australian metal lineup will make PARKWAY DRIVE‘s European anniversary tour the biggest metal event of the year.
