2017 release from the metal legends. A bastard child born of the mid 90s punk/metal/hardcore movement, Washington, DC's Darkest Hour combine the passion, energy, and soul of punk/hardcore with the style, speed, vengeance and fury of melodic speed/thrash/death metal. Darkest Hour has helped defined the entire new wave of American metal sound as one of the pioneers of modern metal/core. While many of their contemporaries have decided to hang it up, Darkest Hour is still charging ahead with invigorated spirit. This 9th studio album produced by underground legend Kurt Ballou (Coverge), at his Godcity complex, is destined to be a metal classic.
