Which was both a blessing and a curse at the same time. Normally, they write their albums in between tours, but there were no tours. With COVID, this was the first time that they didn’t have a deadline. Parkway Drive is a band that will only release their music if they think it sounds good. But they decided to split it and make it two individual songs. Originally, ‘ Ground Zero’ and ‘ Glitch’ were back to back. It took two years until the song was what is was supposed to be.
The song was the first one to be written and the last one to be finished. ‘ Glitch’, one of the singles of this album and one of the hardest songs to write according to Parkway Drive. Winston whispers his lyrics on top of it. Near the end, all goes quiet except for the bass and drums. A heavy repetitive riff during the chorus creates a dark and strong song. ‘ Like Napalm’ makes it’s message clear right from the start. 30 seconds of mystery lasts until the scream of lead singer Winston McCall unleashes into the classic Parkway Drive sound: metalcore with the lead guitar following the melody of the vocals throughout the song. ‘ Ground zero‘ opens with what sounds like a wind up toy machine.
