Darkest Hour On Tour With Between The Buried And Me


With a strong foundation of Gothenburg-style Swedish death metal, hardcore song structures, and punk rock attitude, DARKEST HOUR is back on the road following their busy summer spent on OZZFEST.

Their current album, "Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation”, was just re-released with a bonus DVD including an on-the-road documentary with Darkest Hour. “Hidden Hands…” was recorded at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg Sweden (At the Gates, In Flames, Cradle of Filth) and Darkest Hour has delivered their most mature and extreme material to date. Lyrically, the record focuses on many issues, from aspects of American culture to personal relationships, to a song about the whole band being locked up by the Feds in Oklahoma. With their strong political backgrounds, "Sadist Nation" is an indictment of America's culture of guns and violence while "Marching To The Killing Rhythm" and "ThePatriot Virus" condemn blind patriotism and military arrogance equally.

“Darkest Hour is at the forefront of metal’s new titans.” -Metal Maniacs

Joining Darkest Hour on the road are labelmates BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, who’s trademark blend of insane metal/hardcore has made them quite a name in the heavy music scene. BTBAM find a way to make heavy music refined yet powerful, inventive yet distinct, at times chaotic, then soothing. With a myriad of influences ranging from their hardcore and metal roots to artists like the Smashing Pumpkins and Dream Theater, their Victory debut, “The Silent Circus”, is a sincere, artistic album that will revolutionize the face of heavy music. Between The Buried And Me have toured with the likes of Converge, Cave In, Terror, and many more.

"My hat is off to Between The Buried And Me, who have produced a metal gem and undoubtedly one of the best albums of the year." -Uranium
