Ire, the fifth album from Byron Bay metalcore crew Parkway Drive, came out on 25 September 2015 through Resist and Epitaph, with George Hadji-Christou producing. By then the lineup had held steady for the better part of a decade: Winston McCall howling up front, Jeff Ling on guitar, Luke Kilpatrick alongside him, Jia O'Connor on bass and Ben Gordon behind the kit.
The whole idea was to break their own mold, and reviewers heard new influences creeping into the breakdowns. "Crushed" is the calling card, a slow, stomping march that trades speed for sheer tonnage, while "Vice Grip" swings for a fist-in-the-air, stadium-sized hook. The gamble paid off: the album went to number 1 on the Australian ARIA chart, the first of three chart-toppers in a row, and it was up for Australian Album of the Year at the 2015 J Awards.
