Parkway Drive - Home: Live at the Sydney Opera House [3LP Clear]

Parkway Drive trade the mosh pit for one of the world's most famous stages on Home, a live album from the Sydney Opera House pressed on three clear LPs.

More than two decades on from their Byron Bay beginnings, Australia's biggest metal band took on their most ambitious hometown show yet: a one-night-only performance reimagining their music with a full symphony orchestra under those famous sails. The night has also been turned into a concert feature film, an intimate portrait of the band and the community that carried them from local halls to headlining festival stages around the world.

The idea is simple and thrilling. Winston McCall's roar and the band's heavyweight riffs are set against the sweep of a full orchestra, letting the melodic streak that has run through their songs for years step into the spotlight. Breakdowns built for circle pits meeting arrangements built for a concert hall is exactly the kind of contrast this band has always thrived on.

For fans who have followed them since the early days, this is a proud and emotional milestone in a career full of them. For anyone who doubted heavy music belonged inside an opera house, it is a thundering counterargument that deserves to be played loud.
