Darkest Hour lose guitarist

2020-07-28 by Toondude | 20 Comments
American melodeath band Darkest Hour have announced the departure of their guitarist, Michael "Lonestar" Carrigan. Carrigan joined the band in 2008, replacing Kris Norris, the latter of which had a brief cameo on their previous record Godless Prophets & the Migrant Flora.

The band released a statement on social media:
After over a decade of touring the world with us and contributing to 4 of our full length records Darkest Hour announces the departure of guitarist Michael “Lonestar” Carrigan.

We are sure you will be hearing more music from him, we are thankful for his years with us, and we wish him well.

As for Darkest Hour, our next chapter starts now.

We have a lot in store for you as we continue work on our 10th full length record. You can follow and support us via our bands Patreon or our social media outlets.

I find this more intriguing than worrying tbh. He's a legit player and all buuut I'll always know him as the guy that wrote less cool stuff than Kris Norris. As long as John and Mike are in the band I'm not concerned.

Like...their newer stuff isn't bad, it's just not as interesting to me as their earlier stuff. So I guess we'll see what happens next?

I think if John or other Mike left, the band would cease.

i liked everything he played on other than the s/t. kinda sad to see him go, its not like they really needed some new blood to shake things up, their last record was fresh.

Godless Prophets was their best in a while, though.

idk this kinda does suck, their last album is their only effort i've enjoyed since Deliver Us. although on that note, those have been the only two projects from these guys i've actually gotten enjoyment from listening to

he wrote the first part of the solo, the second part is Schleibaum's. i do think Carrigan is the better soloist though.
