Parkway Drive Announces Sydney Opera House Live Album

Parkway Drive has announced a new live album recording their performance at the Sydney Opera House. Titled Home – Live at the Sydney Opera House, the 20-track release will be issued on December 4 through Parkway Records/Civilians. The performance took place before 2,000 spectators and featured accompaniment from a full symphony orchestra alongside guest performers.

The album opens with a Welcome to Country featuring Matthew Doyle. The setlist includes Carrion, Wild Eyes, Crushed, Darker Still, The Void, and Home Is for the Heartless. Guest appearances on the record include Nooky on the track Shadow Boxing and Jenna McDougall on A Deathless Song.

The release serves as the soundtrack to Parkway Drive: Home, a concert film documenting the Byron Bay group's path to becoming one of Australia's largest heavy music exports. Directed by Allan Hardy and Macario De Souza, produced by Hype Republic, and distributed by Mushroom Studios, the film features vocalist Winston McCall descending 65 meters from a helicopter onto the Sydney Opera House sails to reach a 60-centimeter-wide platform. Its world premiere will be held on November 10 at Sydney's State Theatre, followed by screenings in select Australian cinemas starting November 12.
