Not content with their status as the most awe-inspiring phenomenon Australian heavy music has yet seen, PARKWAY DRIVE have begun to make vast inroads overseas, spending most of their time abroad since the release of their second full length "Horizons". Unleashed last October, "Horizons" solidified the group's reputation as an unparalleled force in local hardcore and metal – a Top 6 ARIA berth, # 1 Australian Independent release, two sold-out national tours and tens of thousands of satisfied punters will firmly attest to that. Now the Byron Bay behemoth are stepping it up on the world stage.

Early 2008 saw PARKWAY DRIVE embark on their most successful foray into North America thus far, supporting scene kings Killswitch Engage across the US, while their more recent bombardment of Russia, Finland, Spain, Greece, Italy, Sweden, Germany, Austria and the UK saw their snowballing popularity in the region escalate into a full-blown avalanche. Headlining over US acts Bury Your Dead and Suicide Silence, they sold-out many venues in advance, with demand for tickets strong enough in Germany, Austria and England to warrant several additional dates.

Already respected as hardened road warriors, the PARKWAY juggernaut has not stopped rolling since "Horizons" hit stores. Keeping the home fires burning with several national tours, the five-piece have focused a large amount of their efforts abroad, Parkway Drive will return to New Zealand this October, this being their third New Zealand Tour.
