The band also performed “Vice Grip”, “Dedicated”, “Crushed” and “Bottom Feeder” off of their IRE album, which was released September 25 th 2015. People just let go of all their daily worries and enjoyed themselves to the max. ![]() It was a crazy atmosphere and when I say crazy I mean insane fun crazy. Another mosh pit was created and the body guards had a hard time keeping up catching all the body surfers. The crowed loved the bands performance and went absolutely nuts. They also performed the songs “Prey”, “Cemetery Bloom”, “The Void”, “Absolute Power” and “Shadow Boxing” off the same album. Tonight the band opened up with the song “Wishing Wells” from their newest album Reverence which was released May 4 th 2018. Not to mention, the band reached the top 10 of the Australian ARIA Charts, with their album Ire reaching number 1 in October of 2015. As a metalcore band they have released six albums, one EP, a split album, two DVD’s and even a book which is titled Ten Years of Parkway Drive. The band members are Winston McCall – Vocalist, Jeff Ling – guitarists, Luke “Pig” Kilpatrick – guitarists, Ben “Gaz” Gordon – drums, Jia “Pie” O’Connor – bass. Parkway Drive was formed in 2003 and is an Australian metalcore band from Byron Bay, New South Wales. Quickly time flew by and it was time for Parkway Drive to make their entrance. Sometimes it amazes me how easy a special moment can be created with such simple things. While the workers changed the stage set up and got everything ready for Parkway Drive, the Journey song Don’t stop believing was playing and everybody in the Diamond Ballroom started singing along. To top off Killswitch’s evening they ended with DIO’S classic hit “Holy Diver” and they definitely did the song justice. The audience loved every moment and showed it by cheering and rocking out as hard as they possibly could. To get closer to his fans Joel eventually went off stage and joined the crowd going to the bar, while performing. Lights went crazy, the crowd opened up the mosh pit and body surfing went crazy while the vocalist Joel showed off his growling as well as his vocal skills. ![]() Tonight the band performed exceptionally and gave us a fun, energy filled, exploding performance. The band is working on a new album at this time which is supposed to be released in Fall of this Year and fans are eager to get their hands on it. Killswitch Engage has been very successful and even won the Metal hammer Golden Gods Award in 2004 for Best Album, and in 2007 won for Best International Band and again in 2014 for Best Live Band as well as, the Boston Music Award in 2007 for outstanding Metal/Hardcore band of the Year and Act of the Year. ![]() The band formed in 1999 and the band members are Jesse Leach – Vocalist, Joel Stroetzel – guitarists, Adam Dutkiewicz – guitarists, Mike D’Antonio – bassist and Justin Foley – Drummer. The first band I would like to write about is Killswitch Engage, an American metalcore band which is from Westfield, Massachusetts. Now let me go on to the entertaining part of the evening. Let me give all of them a very big Thank You!!! It takes a lot to put events together and I have been at many, many different shows at the Diamond Ballroom and I can say I always have had a blast and was well taken care of. We so often take the employees helping direct traffic, making sure everybody finds a parking spot, the bar tenders, and not to forget the security staff making sure everybody doesn’t just have a fun evening but is also safe, for granted. This time I would like to start off mentioning the staff at the Diamond Ballroom. I am once again at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City. Such an exciting evening tonight being able to be a part of the Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive concert. ![]()
