Atlas (Vinyl) (Reissue)
Vinyl Reissue!
Recorded in Los Angeles with esteemed producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Hatebreed, Sum 41, Alkaline Trio, etc.) ‘Atlas’ is the follow-up to 2010’s ‘Deep Blue.’
Yet another creative leap forward, ‘Atlas’ boasts some of the most up front and confrontational material Parkway has ever released, while at the same time taking several unexpected turns into lush sonic terrain, redefining their trademark sound while reinforcing their position as leaders in their field.
‘Atlas’ comes hot on the heels of Parkway Drive’s platinum-selling DVD, ‘Home Is For The Heartless,’ a unique travelogue that follows the band’s adventures touring to many obscure destinations including Colombia, China and India.
According to Winston, the DVD gives an additional insight into the album’s lyrical themes, which are closely related to exploration and discovery – “Reading the lyrics to ‘Atlas’ after watching the DVD, I think you will have more of a sense of where we are coming from,” he reveals. “The album is called ‘Atlas’ because it’s a combination of the travelling we’ve done over the past year, while also playing on the idea of Atlas, who carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.
