"I’d never found them catchy enough and thought they sounded slightly too chaotic for me"



Deliver Us is one of the catchiest melodeath albums ever. And chaotic?...DH are pretty tame in the extreme metal world.

"Yeah these guys are one of the best bands of their era, but always underrated"



Its really a shame how they never blew up. I feel like some of their albums (starting with Deliver Us) had the accessibility factor, so idk what happened. I guess they didnt have enough generic breakdowns and pop choruses to be up there with the likes of Killswitch and AILD and whatnot.

Nowhere near as catchy as a melodeath band like Bodom or In Flames or Soilwork but that isn't a bad thing. This is why the self titled album was such a window for me to get in to them, it WAS catchy instantly, whereas their other material takes several listens.. Of course there is far more extreme music, I am not debating that, there is just something in the music and vocals that made me work to like it, it wasn't a one listen and I'm in sort of band. Another example of band that I really had to work to like is Counterparts, it took me at least 15 listens of the album to finally go "oh I get it". Architects was another band like that. None of this is a bad thing, it's actually a very very good thing, bands that take time to like are bands that I end up liking most because the replay value of their music is so high. I've now listened to this album 13 times and I'm really getting in to it. I've listened to the new Amon Amarth 4 times and I'm bored of it.

Wonder what they'll do next. Also wonder how much they have left in them. Will be a fucking sad day when these gents hang it up, they're the band that showed me what heavy music could be. I was listening to Disturbed and Slipknot before I heard Deliver Us. Shit was life altering for me.

They've had a fair share of curveballs thrown their way. It's a real shame they haven't been enjoying the success they truly deserve in the metal scene. I think poor management was the biggest issue here, because they were always booked to tour with deathcore bands despite not falling in that category.

Yeah always wondered why they were widely considered a "metalcore" group. If DH is metalcore then slaughter of the soul is metalcore

Their earlier material is why.

Undoing Ruin ain't metalcore though

“If DH is metalcore then slaughter of the soul is metalcore”

It’s not but it inspired a fuckton of melodeath inspired metalcore bands, including Darkest Hour.

I'll be really sad when Unearth and Darkest Hour hang 'em up. I'd say the same for ETID, but they have managed to somehow continue to get better with each release and have done a great job of ingratiating themselves with the younger kids. Those three bands are so much better than most of their competition, man.

I'd be A-OK with Unearth hanging it up if they intend to make more albums like their newest one

Album Rating: 4.5

Unearth had a pretty consistent run up until that, tho. Hopefully, they will shape up for the next one.

Yes, it was terrible. A shame considering how good Watchers was.
