Don’t Close Your Eyes

Parkway Drive

A raw, unpolished document of Australian metalcore in its infancy. High-gain guitars and desperate vocals recorded before the stadium anthems took over.

March 2004 · Epitaph

A relentless, unpolished surge of youthful aggression and coastal hardcore energy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jagged, start-stop rhythmic assault that opens Smoke 'Em If Ya Got 'Em, signaling a new era of Australian heavy music.
The melodic guitar lead in the title track that cuts through the thick, unpolished distortion with surprising clarity.
A frantic, punk-influenced drum fill halfway through Looks Like Yoda that collapses into a primitive, heavy-footed breakdown.
