Reverence by Parkway Drive is my favourite album at the moment. It is their sixth studio album and was released in 2015. Parkway drive is an Australian metal core band who formed in 2003.
It would have to be my favourite album for the reason of the emotion behind it. It is their heaviest album but the band suffered a lot of loss and tragedy whilst writing the album which is especially shown in the song "wishing wells".
I have two favourite songs on the album which are "Prey" and "The Void". These songs explain how they all dealt with depression and other mental health problems and how they overcame them. These songs often receive the most hype from the audience when they are played live.
I think that this album was quite risky for the band as it was very out of their normal sound and is a lot heavier than their other albums. It received a great response as many people started to understand the emotion behind the lyrics.
Since the release of this album, they headlined festivals such as "Wacken festival" in Germany and have released a documentary about how they formed to headlining festivals called "Viva the Underdogs"
I think that Parkway Drive are a very good metal band and anyone who likes bands such as Metallica, Slayer, and Killswitch Engage.
