Hi! Everything is in the title! I already got 3 but i need a 4th one for my brother. He don't want to get a seated place Cheers
Hey guys, I recently stumbled upon this band. I fell in love with them instantly, I always knew they existed but I guess I remembered them as “too heavy” for my taste. I came across Horizons and basically started my discovery journey from there. You know, the typical stuff, checking out all their records, starting to learn more about the band and it’s origins. That’s also when I discovered one of their documentaries, “Home is for the heartless”. I watched it, and once I was done, I was fascinated by how cool this band is. I legitimately thought I found the holy grail of bands, a bunch of chill surfer dudes playing the best metalcore I have ever heard in my life, touring foreign countries and just hanging out. I really couldn’t get over how much I loved them, even though I only discovered them not so long ago. And I found people with similar experiences in the comment section of this documentary and on reddit. People just being obsessed with them because of how cool they seemed. A little bit after that, I watched their first documentary (“The DVD”) which only seemed to further proof my points. Super cool dudes, from starting out as stupid teenagers doing stupid things together and also playing music, to signing label deals and selling out huge venues… These films really do a great job at pulling you in and making a fan out of you. You feel like you’re growing along with the band members as they mature and learn how to live. I don’t want to sound cringe but it just all felt perfect, even the funny, heartwarming details like the addition of Jia as the new bass player not because he was good at playing bass but because he was a beloved mate, just seemed to further embrace this point. I went on to watch “Viva The Underdogs”. Once again, I just felt this joy while watching them grow on tour with all the challenges, even when stuff went wrong. But then I watched “Getting Heavy” and oh Boy, I did not see that coming. I was still on this trip of ,,I found the greatest band in the world” and all of a sudden there were talks about them being dick heads to each other and all this stuff. I knew that they had a more difficult phase as a band right around when Covid hit, but I would have never expected something like this. I was quite glad and surprised though that they were being so transparent about it and that they even showed parts of their therapy sessions… But the whole story surrounding Jia hit me extremely hard. I literally cried when he explained how f*cked up the situation with his partner had been. I can’t imagine living with a feeling of shame like that because you were pressured to make such a difficult decision, choosing between risking the newly restored friendship with your band mates again or leaving your terminally ill, beloved partner behind. What made me almost even more upset was the fact that Jia wasn’t a real part of the band for such a long time. He was literally treated like a fill in touring musician, earned less and was just not treated like an essential band member. I would have definitely understood that if it went on like that for the first few years he was in the band, but such a long time? That just feels like a very cruel move to me. Also the fact that it took a full on therapy session for them to finally „welcome” him in the band is just odd and wrong in my opinion. Like the guy is a mate of yours, a person you love, why would you exclude him like that? Don’t get me wrong, I definitely think that the distribution of all the tasks of the band is not necessarily equal, I get that it sucks to have much of the responsibility as a manager or to be pressurized as a producer when a new album has to be made. But I also think that the band should value all members equally, as humans and as key parts of the band. When the film came to an end and Jia explained how he was „let in” and everything, I still found it odd that Luke spoke of „financial sacrifices” that were necessary to let Jia be a part of the band. I thought the guy is a band member just like you guys. I thought he was a friend like all the other people in the band. Why would you call it a sacrifice then? I’m just overall very confused right now. I’m glad that they’re back together and that they all seem happy together on stage and I still absolutely love their music and how they seem to be as guys, but at the same time, this weird stuff that went down 2 years ago and the crazy tragic situation Jia was in just make things a bit weird. But what do I know? Maybe there has really been a dynamic change in the band and maybe it’s not all as it seems. Just wanted to put that out here, maybe you’ve got some thoughts? (Sorry, I know I’m super late to this…)
PWD forever 🤘🤘🤘
Hey :) I booked a standing ticket and I was really excited as I haven't seen them before! Didn't check my calender as I very rarely have something planned that far in advance. Turns out...my friend's wedding is that day. My excitement got the better of me.
I've listed my ticket on AXS resale :) if anyone wants a standing ticket but missed out as they sold out fairly quickly I believe. Glad I can do it officially as so many people try to scam and this way it's fair for both people :)
i will see parkway drive in forest national (vorst nationaal) this place isnt big. is the production gonna be the same on the europe tour? is there gonna be en extra stage in the middle?
I just found this transition and I love it.
Am I right or am I right?
Title
Does anyone know the presale code for the EU tour? the presale starts tomorrow but im not sure where to get the code
how quick did tickets sell on last uk tour they did?just wondering as expecting uk dates to be announced tommorow
I bought a cd off ebay a week ago and when it arrived i noticed it had something like a autograph on it. Ive tried looking at other autographs online and im guessing its Jeff Ling's?
I might sell it at some point, if anyone is interested let me know.
Hey hey! The show in Perth was AMAZING - does anyone know the music that Winston 'walked out' to at the very start? There was an orchestral bit then a heavier section. I couldn't find it on any of their records? Was it just for the tour maybe? It was bloody good 😅
In the song Wishing Wells, in the chorus my mind clearly hears "Burn your heaven, Drown your hell" but its "Flood your hell". No matter how many times i skip back to hear it, i still hear "Drown". I feel like im mental because nobody else i know hears what i hear. I need a doctor or something...
They seemed to be on a 3 year pattern between albums before Reverence and Darker Still which was 4 years. Do you think they go back to the 3 year cycle, or are we in for the 4 year wait?
Also what do you expect from a follow up to Darker Still?
And What do you WANT from a follow up to Darker Still?
Let me know if anyone picked up a double, or would sell theirs (I’ll pay extra)
Size large. Wanted and should have got one last night.
Anyone have the Perth poster? I didn’t see it, What was it.
Just three bangers back to back.
It would have been though if Horizons album had Carrion next to Boneyards and Idols and Anchors.
Was anyone able to organise a partial refund after void of vision and the ghost inside didn't play?
Per title, scored box tickets for tonight's show if I agree to drive (obviously keen).
As a filthy casual what's 2/3 songs the fan base recommends for me to lock in learn?
