Parkway Drive have released a new single titled Sacred (Watch Below), marking their first new material since the 2022 album Darker Still. The release is accompanied by a new music video directed by Third Eye Visuals.
The track arrives during a period of heightened activity for the Australian metal band, as they prepare to mark their 20th anniversary with a series of performances throughout 2025.
The anniversary celebrations will begin in June with a sold-out symphonic show at the Sydney Opera House. The band has described the event as a celebration of their two-decade-long career.

Winston McCall on Sacred
Speaking about the new track, Vocalist Winston McCall shares:
The mission statement for ‘Sacred’ is pretty damn simple. An anthemic wrecking ball of positive energy. Our lives and the way we exist in the world has been pushed further and further through the lenses and frames of negativity and hopelessness. Obsession with everything we lack, everything we hate, everyone we blame, everything that keeps us down. We sell the unique parts of us most precious just to buy back manufactured pieces of self in order that we may feel whole again. ‘Sacred’ is our identity. ‘Sacred’ is our time. Never lose sight and never lose hope.
According to official statements, the tour will showcase Parkway Drive’s “most ambitious production to date,” reflecting the passion and energy that have defined their career over the past 20 years.
