The album changes course once more with “If A God Can Bleed,” a spoken-word song with ominous lyrics like “Fat little piggy with his head on the block” and a soft piano accompaniment. The powerful power-chord theme is carried on in “Imperial Heretic,” along with an addicting solo riff, an aggressive vocal style, and the first line, “Watch out!” With thoughtful lyrics that push it into ballad territory, the song has the record's softest vocal performance. The album's direction changes with the title track, “Darker Still,” which begins with a softly played acoustic guitar and lyrical whistling.
In order to create an ethereal heavy metal hymn, the bridge includes additional choral vocalizations, “In death we sing the hymns of nevermore.” One of the standout moments on the album is found in “The Greatest Fear.” Soon after an ethereal choral introduction, a strong guitar riff with interlaced soloing appears in the chorus. “Help me take this pain away Sleep is now my enemy,” the melodious chorus begs.
Winston sings the catchy chorus, “The weight that weighs you down, let it go,” which is followed by swirling guitar effects and a confrontational, violent vocal from McCall imploring, “Burn it all away.” The self-reflection concept of Glitch is continued with the massive power chord-driven musical background to more combative vocals. The album's opening track, “Ground Zero,” has beautiful vocals from Winston before abruptly exploding into a powerful, driving guitar riff. They are already well-known for their frantic live performances. Parkway Drive's most recent release will help them maintain their position as one of metal's top live acts. But there is enough variety to keep anyone's interest. “Darker Still” is a confrontational album with mystical moments occasionally, while it occasionally borders on being a power chord melange. A highly intimate lyrical journey is presented in “Darker Still,” which is contrasted by combative vocals set against a bold yet upbeat orchestral background. On their sixth full-length album, the Australian metal heavyweights, which include vocalist McCall, guitarists Jeff Ling and Luke Kilpatrick, bassist Jia O'Connor, and drummer Ben Gordon, attempted to express difficult stories using lovely melodies.
