Parkway Drive is currently bunkered down in a Los Angeles studio hard at work on the band's fourth album.The as-yet-untitled effort is the follow-up to 2010’s "Deep Blue," which debuted #39 in the U.S. on the Billboard 200, #2 in Australia, as well as reaching solid Gold and winning the ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock and Metal Album.

Fans are invited to check out in-studio photos by heading over to Altpress.com.

The recording is due to take seven weeks, which is the longest time the band has spent on any album. Production is being overseen by Matt Hyde, whose vast resume includes Slayer, Sum 41, Alkaline Trio, Hatebreed, and Children of Bodom.

Parkway Drive vocalist Winston McCall comments, “When we finished Deep Blue I was like, ‘I don’t know where we go from here?’ But if there was ever a way to step up from the last record, this is the way to do it. We’re expanding in every way we can. But at the same time – and I say this with every new record – it still sounds like Parkway.”

Stay tuned for title, artwork, and tracklisting details in the coming weeks. In other news, Parkway Drive will also be heading out on tour with Emmure this November.

Bring it on, absolutely love PWD, who stand out in an incredibly over saturated genre.
