Winston McCall spoke about the current status of Parkway Drive’s upcoming music in a new interview. A new album had actually been planned much earlier, but that was delayed due to the incredible opportunity to perform a show at the Sydney Opera House. Since then, the band has been busy on their 20th Anniversary Tour, which is coming to an end by now. The year is almost over at this point, but 2026 will be entirely focused on creating a new record:

"We are working on new music. There is new music coming, put it that way. It's not like we have recorded an album, but focusing on making new music is literally all of the next year for us. We said, okay, we're not going to be touring much next year at all. It's all going to be about creating new music.

In the meantime, there's gonna be a Live Album from the Sydney Opera House and a movie coming out of that as well, so people can hear some interesting stuff that we created with that. But brand-new songs is definitely next on the Parkway list."

That sounds like we might expect a Darker Still follow-up sometime around 2027.
