Parkway Drive performing "Vice Grip" live at Vainstream 2015. Production: PIRATELOVE | Soundrecording by Sweetspot Music | Mixing by Synthision Studios
I love their transition from a a very good metalcore band with blastbeats and breakdowns to a well rounded amazing metal band with solo's, groove, harmonics and singalong parts....Ire is an amazing album
Finally! a solid recorded live show! all metal bands these days sound like shit on live stream, and it's a shame, because it is the broadcasters and concert place, that mess up the audio for the band when going on stream. This was so wellmade and it shows how great Metal bands really sound live (not just Parkway Drive) Great job! \m/
Ramul Thank You - Our whole Crew puts a lot of work and passion into the videos because we think the Bands and Fans deserve it. Most festivals these days don´t have control over the sound which goes out on TV or Livestreams - thats why the sound is always so bad. We don´t stream or have broadcasters involved - our production is 100% DIY and under our control and we just wanna share the passion.
ethano rawlinsino Well, sort of. I'm going through a depression right now. I'm doing everything I can to get out of this black hole. I talk about it and I have searched for help. So, basically I'm heading to a better state, though it will take a lot of time. This song (among ofcourse other songs from PWD and music in general) is helping me. The lyrics or so spot on and the vibe is so powerfull.
Christopher Freeride Wir fanden Parkway als Headliner haben einen perfekten Job abgeliefert. Die Jungs sind einfach ein Phänomen ! Schön dass wir uns da einig sind :)
VainstreamRockfest Wer hat denn nur Breakdown of Sanity so scheiße abgemischt. Man hat ja nix von den Gitarren gehört, weil die Bassdrum alles viel zu derbe übertönt hat :( Sonst wars aber ziemlich geil... Auch bei 41 Grad :D
Das weiß ich doch :D Aber was mir sehr gut gefallen hat war die Wasserversorgung. Sonst wären wir wohl echt eingangen bei den Temperaturen. Dafür ein dickes Lob. Ich hoffe ihr postet auch wieder ein Video von Architects wie letztes Jahr.
You guys did record the whole concert right? I think it is professional DVD quality. I hope to see more of this concert. How can a person like me get this material ?
and people said this song doesnt sound like PWD.... proven wrong. first time i listened this song it hooked me. not typical PWD but awesome as fk. knew instantly this is a live beast. well done \mm/
Said it before, I'll say it again. Not only is Parkway Drive my favourite band, but Winston sounds better live than he does in studio. That's a pretty rare thing for a hardcore band \m/
It sounds so clean. I listen to a lot of Live Metal stuff. But this Live sound + perfect playing by all members is amazing. Never heard such perfect live tone. Its damn near on the studio version. :O :)
As a huge supporter of the Deep Blue and Atlas albums, I gotta say that I was a little worried when I heard the studio version. It sounded too watered-down with mainstream metal. Hearing it live completely changed my opinion. This is Parkway Drive.
Check out Any Given Day their Screamer/Clean singer is a fucking beast Or Scar Symmetry. Killswitch Engage before they switched to that new awful guy. Bury Tomorrow is total killer listen to An Honorable Reign when the Screams come in at about 0:28 its sooo sick. However at the end of the day It certainly comes down to taste
I believe he just interacts his voice into his false chord and doesn't push to much air behind it so it's more audible and clear when he's screaming. I can do it if I push my voice into my screams.
+Aeolianshredhead I meant to say fry vocals lol. I've been screaming for 3 years now I do fry vocals. not sure if those are the same but they sound similar. yes Winston is a beast i freakin love this vocalist.
Parkway will always be an incredible band. They're just so true and passionate. Though on some technical side of things (i'm adressing producers and sound engineers) Jeff ling is left on stage, and panned left, and Luke panned to the right when left on stage.....that's lame, That's a simple and freaking easy detail, that's bugging me, Same shit happened on the hurley studio thingy session...i'd take your job plz
I really like the audio quality of the Vainstream fest, if i look at all of those warped tour and stuff they are really bad, it makes the band sound bad so no wonder why everyone thinks that a lot of modern bands sound bad, it's because the festival's cheap recording stuff or mixing whatever, so keep up this work Vainstream!
Winston is straight edge and I honestly think that keeps his voice in good condition. He never sounds bad or his voice worn out live. Very solid voice and frontman.
Going to see them in Cincy here soon! FUCKING PUMPED! That will finally cap my top bands to go see! As I lay dying, All That Remains, and Iron Maiden....PWD will be the cherry on top!
i am fortunate enough to live on the gold coast, 1 hour from their home town of byron bay, and get to see them every year. every show they give it all and put on an awesome performance as you can see.
I just get confused watching this because Jeffs guitar is panned to the left while Lukes is panned to the right which is opposite of how youre watching them on the video haha.
Even sounds better than the original one. His voice is just crazy and the energy they put in everysong they play .. Wow! 1st time I see many bodysurgers like this tho ahaha
First Parkway concert I went too I got elbowed in the face in a pit, I got back up and kept going cause IT'S FUCKING PARKWAY. Most exhilarating concert ever.
war geil live dabei gewesen zu sein, einzig was mich hierbei stört sind die ganzen Sprünge von einer Kamera zur anderen, bereitet ja regelrecht Kopfschmerzen >_
VainstreamRockfest Ich finds mega gelungen, die Schnitte, der Sound.. richtig geil und vor allem natürlich die Performance. Hab gehört es gibt sogar bald ne offizielle Live DVD/Blueray von dem Konzert ? Stimmt das ? Bin auf jeden Fall Kunde ! :D Münster 4 Life
Vice Grip" A system of complete control. The pressure builds It wraps its hands around your throat. A constant battle A silent war of mind and soul (Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up One life, one shot, give it all you got (Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up Keep the flame alive Hope for the hopeless, a light in the darkness Hope for the hopeless, a light in, a light in the dark (A light in the dark) The chains set to break your soul. Day by day You know the choice you have to make Freeze up and fade Or be the flame that lights the way (Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up One life, one shot, give it all you got (Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up Keep the flame alive Hope for the hopeless. A light in the darkness Hope for the hopeless. You’ve got one life, one shot Give it all you got Ill’s got a vice grip, like ice running down your spine This world, it’s got you in its sights Rise, rise. Rise, rise. It’s all or nothing. Rise, rise. Rise, rise. It’s do or die. Rise. Rise. Rise. (Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up One life, one shot, give it all you got (Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up Keep the flame alive Hope for the hopeless, a light in the darkness Hope for the hopeless, a light in the dark We stand for the faithless and the broken Hope for the hopeless, a light in, a light in the dark
People get insane at these shows! I remember seeing them once and it was hard to watch because every 5 seconds people were crowd surfing over me. XD awesome experience tho
This song is so damn good! However I must admit , I'm not a big fan of the style of vocals for this song. I think he should just use a regular voice for it. Still badass though!
