European audiences are true purists when it comes to their love for metal music and great metal concerts, so there's no better place in a world for this tour to go down. This tour will take us to cities we haven't been to in a decade, as well as a few new ones. Meeting new friends and exploring other cultures has always been something we enjoy as a band...and getting to explore some of these place with this great bill for the first time is both a great privilege and an honor. If you can make it out to one of these shows please do you wont be let down." DARKEST HOUR have just wrapped up the video shoot for "Love As A Weapon" off their latest release "The Human Romance." Directed by Scott Hansern, the video takes on a very traditional performance approach to metal videos. Guitarist Mike Schleibaum comments, "Filming the video with producer Scott Hansen was totally bad ass! Filming on a rooftop above our hometown of Washington, DC, with hail and lightning storms in the distance made for an epic filming experience. The final product will include us performing coupled with time lapsed montages of both majestic and disgusting footage. The contrast of these will surely make for a sick piece of metal videography." You can view some stills from the video shoot on the band's Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/DarkestHourDudes The band has also announced their participation in this year's Summer Slaughter tour. They'll be supporting The Black Dahlia Murder and Whitechapel alongside Six Feet Under and Dying Fetus. The band released their latest record "The Human Romance." earlier this year to much anticipation with singles like "Love As A Weapon" and "The World Engulfed In Flames," including the highly successful music video for "Savor The Kill": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naQCF2iWPt0 DARKEST HOUR online http://www.darkesthour.cc http://www.facebook.com/darkesthourdudes http://www.myspace.com/darkesthour http://www.twitter.com/darkesthourrock

Darkest Hour: : NEW track online, NEW wepisode!

Century Media Records — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 05:39:03 GMT

After DARKEST HOUR recently finished their 15 Year Anniversary "Legacy" tour in Europe last week they have released another new song from their upcoming record called "Love as a Weapon"! Hear it at their official Facebook page by "liking" it here: www.facebook.com/DarkestHourDudes! Once you've liked the page, be sure to click the "listen" tab along the left side bar. The band recently announced their new record entitled "The Human Romance" to be released on March 7th, 2011. This is the bands seventh full length and their debut for Century Media Records. Renowned Soilwork guitarist Peter Wichers, along with the band, has produced the record! DARKEST HOUR has also released the sixth chapter of their behind the scenes studio footage today - check it out here: bit.ly/gonuYN "This time around, the DARKEST HOUR songs were composed a bit differently than was the case in the past." Guitarist and founding member Mike Schleibaum explains, "we have been working on these tunes ever since we left the studio last April. 'The Eternal Return' was written during a very dark, bleak time for the band and I think that record matches that in both tone and character. Our vision was for it to be an in your-face, no-frills aggressive assault. The new material shares in that aggression and pushes DARKEST HOUR beyond the unknown."

Darkest Hour: : NEW album, NEW track online & European TOUR!

Century Media Records — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 04:23:50 GMT

Some metal bands barely last 10 years, much less 15 years. If a band does get to the decade-and-a-half mark, they're usually sputtering out or are teetering on their last, diseased and ready-to-give out legs. Rare is the case where an aggressive band mutates, growing stronger, more unstoppable and more menacing with every passing riff, scream and album. DARKEST HOUR are such a case. "The Human Romance" is the Washington, DC-based band's seventh album and will be released on March 7th via Century Media Records in Europe. The new album is DARKEST HOUR at their best: fangs bared and ready to pounce through the vehicle that blends thrashy melodic metal with something unworldly. From today on you can check out the first fantastic track, "Savor The Kill", of the new album HERE. Also make sure to follow the bands studio webisodes, the first two parts of ten are already online: CLICK HERE for part 1 and HERE for part 2! In their past, DARKEST HOUR have retreated to such far away locales as Sweden and Vancouver to record. For "The Human Romance", the quintet set off to North Carolina to work with Soilwork's Peter Wichers recording at the Echo Mountain complex in Asheville and Old Towne Recording Studio's in Winson-Salem. The result is thrashy, American metal with roots in punk rock and hardcore, which is part and parcel of the DARKEST HOUR sound. Only now, it's fresher and rejuvenated and the band isn't tethered to the tyranny of one specific sound or style; DARKEST HOUR make metal, by their own rules and standards. The track-list of "The Human Romane" as follows: 1. Terra Noctunus (01:16) 2. The World Engulfed in Flames (03:52) 3. Savor the Kill (03:48) 4. Man & Swine (03:44) 5. Love as a Weapon (04:00) 6. Your Everyday Disaster (02:46) 7. Violent By Nature (02:21) 8. Purgatory (03:46) 9. Severed into Separates (03:27) 10. Wound (03:42) 11. Terra Solaris (08:41) 12. Beyond the Live you know (04:12) European Ltd. edition Bonus Track: 13. Hierarchry of Heathens (04:52) Starting January 26th DARKEST HOUR will unleash some of the new songs on a big European tour run, don't miss the show near your town! DARKEST HOUR on tour supported by PROTEST THE HERO, BORN OF OSIRIS and PURIFIED IN BLOOD: 26.01.11 Germany Stuttgart @ R�hre 27.01.11 Holland Nijmegen @ Doornroosje 28.01.11 UK Manchester @ Club Academy 29.01.11 UK Nottingham @ Rock City 30.01.11 UK London @ Garage 31.01.11 Belgium Antwerpen @ Trix 01.02.11 Germany Berlin @ Magnet 02.02.11 Germany Aschaffenburg @ Colos Saal 03.02.11 Germany Hamburg @ Knust 04.02.11 Germany Leipzig @ Conne Island 05.02.11 Germany M�nchen @ Feierwerk 06.02.11 Hungary Budapest @ D�rer Kert 07.02.11 Austria Vienna @ Arena 08.02.11 Italy Bologna @ Sottotetto Club 09.02.11 Italy Rome @ Init Club 10.02.11 Switzerland @ Aarau Kiff 11.02.11 Germany Trier @ Exhaus 12.02.11 Germany K�ln @ Essigfabrik DARKEST HOUR online: http://www.darkesthour.cc http://www.facebook.com/darkesthourdudes http://www.myspace.com/darkesthour http://www.twitter.com/darkesthourrock
