Australian Metalcore band PARKWAY DRIVE, which recently canceled their North American tour, has released a music video for their new single “Glitch” through Epitaph Records.
The song explores the things that minds experience when we are not awake—but not yet asleep—the world of night terrors and sleep paralysis. It is the first new material PARKWAY DRIVE has released since 2018’s “Reverence”.
The band comments: “PARKWAY DRIVE have always walked the line of balancing the light and the dark, and ‘Glitch’ is no exception. Sonically, we aimed to create a dark, heavy, and unnerving journey while still crafting a melody that burrows its way into your mind. Lyrically, the song deals with the phenomenon of night terrors and sleep paralysis. We all know the power our minds possess, but true terror manifests when your mind and all its fears takes physical control of your body. The glitch in your brain, where nightmares and reality cross.”
In canceling its North American tour, PARKWAY DRIVE cited the toll that nearly 20 years as a band has taken on the band members and their friendships. The band’s European tour in September and October will go on as scheduled.
