Australian metalcore heroes Parkway Drive have entered the studio to work and begun work on their fourth album, the follow-up to 2010's 'Deep Blue'.

Produced by Matt Hyde (Slayer, Alkaline Trio, Hatebreed), the recording is set to take seven weeks - the longest the band has ever taken in the studio.

Speaking about the record, frontman Winston McCall commented:

"When we finished Deep Blue I was like, 'I don't know where we go from here?' But if there was ever a way to step up from the last record, this is the way to do it. We're expanding in every way we can. But at the same time – and I say this with every new record – it still sounds like Parkway."
