Artist: darkest hour

Yesterday I wrote about The Dillinger Escape Plan's upcoming tour with Iwrestledabearonce; well, it now seems that it's actually a tour with Darkest Hour, Iwrestledabearonce, and Animals as Leaders. Holy shit, that's a good line-up. That's a "get to the venue early so you don't miss any of the bands" line-up right there. These are the [...]

The Atticus Metal Tour II has been announced. Headlining the run will be Boston metalcore masters UNEARTH.

The second-to-last night of Summer Slaughter - the first of two nights at NYC's Irving Plaza - was a fucking party. Axl and Vince arrived before doors opened to interview Darkest Hour mastermind Mike Schleibaum and were summarily handed beers. "New York City . . . oh god. Suffocation, and also sharing your dressing [...]

I'm extremely amped about the new Between the Buried and Me album The Great Misdirect. Anyone else? The Great Misdirect also happens to be the last album BTBAM owes Victory Records under their current contract, meaning the only two bands on that label that we give a shit about (the other being Darkest Hour) are both [...]

Where the hell does the time go? The year is more than half over already! Sheesh. ANYWAY, here are, in alphabetical order, albums that have really knocked my socks off so far this year... Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Agorapocalypse (Relapse) Baroness, Blue Record (Relapse) Behemoth, Evangelion (Metal Blade) Brutal Truth, Evolution Through Revolution (Relapse) Cannibal Corpse, Evisceration Plague (Metal Blade) Chimaira, The Infection (Ferret) Coalesce, [...]

I'm all for break-up sex. Yeah, the relationship is over, and yeah, it might be kinda bittersweet, but you were into each once, so why not enjoy one last fuck, right? To that end: I really appreciate it when a band announces that they are going to break-up, and plays a few last shows to give [...]

Guitar virtuoso Kris Norris has announced a new project he is calling GODLESS SYMPHONY. It is a project he is currently working on with a good friend of Metal Injection's: vocalist Dan Malloy. "I went back a bit to my roots on this one. Wierd Avantgarde Norwegian (winds, arcturus) styled slower metal. The name of [...]

It's a heartbreaker, but the summer days of 2009 are slowing coming to a close. However, that doesn't mean the heavy metal is ending any time soon, and that's exactly what Orlando, Florida, metalheads Trivium are all about. Fresh off of their most recent release, 2008's Shogun , the fearsome quartet is preparing for its first headlining tour in three years. Dubbed the "Into The Mouth Of Hell We Tour" tour, Trivium will take on a colossal 63-date tour with more dates to be announced in August. So far, Whitechapel , Darkest Hour [...]

TRIVIUM Down From The Sky Official Video The metal militia known as TRIVIUM have announce a Fall headlining tour, their first since 2006. They are calling the tour "'Into the Mouth of Hell We Tour" and will be bringing with them an varied arsenal of openers with WHITECHAPEL, DARKEST HOUR and DIRGE WITHIN. This should attract [...]

Darkest Hour stepped up the level of talent at Summer Slaughter when they took the stage and ripped through their set. Best performance of the night in my opinion, (Ensiferum a close second). Click next for more photos.

Ahh, Michigan. We have lakes. Big fucking lakes. We used to have a booming car industry, but unless you've been living under a rock for the past six months, you need not an explanation of why I won't be speaking of that in this article. Besides, we harbor a little music festival every summer called [...]

...Matt Wicklund, formerly of the now-defunct Himsa. He also played on Praises to the War Machine, the excellent solo album Nevermore's Warrel Dane released last year. Truthfully: I always respected Himsa and own a couple of their records, but I was never very passionate about the band. Whatever cliché you wanna use - "didn't hit me [...]

Last week was a ginormous week for new metal releases, and with new ones from Killswitch and Suicide Silence this week promises to be the same. Topping last week's crop was Dream Theater's Black Clouds & Silver Linings which debuted at #6 on the Soundscan Charts. Wait a minute... Dream Theater debuted at #6?? Holy [...]

After his debut Thrash Hits column last month, Metal Mark from SkullsNBones.com is back to tell us what's been shaking over the pond in Atlanta these last four weeks. What's going on metalheads? The past month has been full of shows in Atlanta. Now my wallet is empty, and there is more PBR in my body than water. This month started out with the awesome Summer Slaughter tour at The Masquerade in Atlanta. The tour lineup was insane, with bands [...]

Darkest Hour are currently out on the road doing the MetalSucks co-sponsored Summer Slaughter tour, and they're doing a video tour diary for our gay lovers at Metal Injection. Check it out below. It's good to see that Lonestar is growing his mega-beard back. It's also good to see his package. ANYWAY, I've seen enough of the [...]

With MJ gone, it's completely normal to be a little musically nostalgic this week. And there's a flood of reissues to satiate any taste for reminiscing, including repackaged albums from Black Sabbath, Bon Jovi, Asia, Bowie, and even Depeche Mode. I'll admit I've been digging deep in my iPod for those HIStory cuts, but I believe I'm ready to move on — sort of. With that in mind, here are a couple thrash-and-burn, aggressive metal discs, one essential sludge metal reissue, and a dose of indie hip-hop that might not make you want to moonwalk but may have [...]

When DARKEST HOUR guitarist Mike Schleibaum contacted us saying he wanted to submit Summer Slaughter tour diaries exclusively to us, how could we be anything but excited about it? Mike didn't disappoint! Along with drummer Ryan Parrish, one of our favorite people ever, the two provide an entertaining look on what life is like on [...]

Darkest Hour's new album, The Eternal Return, is currently streaming in its entirety at the band's MySpace page. Not only do Vince and I both think it kicks ass in a major way, but Vince has already proclaimed it his favorite Darkest Hour record. Check it out here, then come back and let us know what [...]
