New Darkest Hour Album 2009-04-14 by Phantom | 18 Comments | In their most recent blog post, Washington DC metallers Darkest Hour have announced the title and release date of their forthcoming fifth album.
The album will be titled The Eternal Return and is set for release on June 23rd via Victory Records. A tracklisting for the album has yet to be revealed.
Guitarist Mike Schleibaum comments on the album:
"It’s been a long road, but we have finally completed work on our new record, The Eternal Return. I am very proud of the hard work and passion that both the band and producer Brian McTernan poured into this. After 14 years, we’ve decided there’s no reason to put out DARKEST HOUR records other then for ourselves and for the people that love this band. This record has no hidden agenda, no pop hit, or stylistic departure to broaden the fan base. Rather, it is a sick thrash, speed, melodic, metal record! It feels like it has all the aggression and speed of our Hidden Hands… record, the melody and songwriting of Undoing Ruin, and the technicality and musicianship of Deliver Us. We encourage anyone who has loved our records in the past or present to check it out. And if you’ve never found something that’s connected with you in a DARKEST HOUR record before, then take some time to listen to this one, because this is a defining DARKEST HOUR record… We look forward to playing new songs on our upcoming European tour with Bleeding Through and on this year’s Summer Slaughter Tour! See ya in the pit!"
The Eternal Return will be the band's first album with new guitarist Michael "Lonestar" Carrigan, who was recruited after longstanding member Kris Norris departed last September.

Not sure how the much the absence of Norris will affect this but I'm interested to hear what it sounds like regardless.
| | |
Neevr realized these guys have been around for 14 years. Good news regardless and agree WITH PHANTOM.
| | |
this will own.
| | |
I really enjoyed Deliver Us. I wish they would expand on that record.
| | |
Their last album wasn't too bad. I don't mind hearing new stuff from DH.
| | |
I just noticed how Schleibaum puts Darkest Hour IN CAPS throughout his post. Haha
Better than Kanye though.

Stoked. Got Deliver Us a few months back and it's still getting better with each listen.
| | |
Will be good.
| | |
i'm looking forward to this
| | |
this is gonna be fucking awesome
| | |
Deliver Us was so fucking sweet. This'll rule.
| | |
I think I'd like them if their vocalist wasn't so annoying.
| | |
See ya in the pit! Reason why Darkest Hour should not be on Summer slaughter. It will be nice to see them, but they definitely stick out from the other announced bands
| | |
this is going to be SICKKK
| | |
album is gonna be so good
| | |
If this album is anything like Hiddens Hands then count me in.

I liked HHOASN & Undoing Ruin A LOT , but I never really got into the new album....
Looking forward to this!
