Darkest Hour

It's a new year and Darkest Hour has a lot of radical activities brewing! Their headlining Revolver-sponsored tour with Himsa, A Life Once Lost, The Acacia Strain and Dead To Fall runs from February 17th until April 1st, hitting virtually every market in the U.S. The tour also sponsored by Rockett Clothing. But that is not all! They have announced that their 12 minute instrumental tour de force, "Veritas, Aequitas", will be played at select dates - announcements will be posted on the Darkest Hour website, www.darkesthour.cc. Metal fans have called for this song live since it was released on "Hidden Hands of A Sadist Nation" in June 2004. They are also planning to pull some older material out on various shows, so don't miss this tour. The entire tour itinerary has been announced, dates are below.

In other news, Darkest Hour will enter the studio in January with Brian McTernan to re-mix and re-master their first Victory album, "So Sedated, So Secure", which will be re-released on March 7, 2006. This re-issue with contain a new layout, liner notes written by the band, two new tracks, covers of Pentagram's "Be Forewarned" and Battery's "Go Back To The Gym.".

Darkest Hour's 2005 album, "Undoing Ruin", landed them in many top ten lists at the close of the year. Alternative Press called it an "instant metal classic" and said, "Undoing Ruin takes the band's black-metal/hardcore hybrid to stratospheric levels", rating it 5 out of 5. After spending the year touring with the likes of Bleeding Through, hitting Warped and destroying overseas metal clubs, Darkest Hour headed for sunny Puerto Rico, where plans for this groundbreaking tour were hatched.
