This is a ravenous love
You get what you give in
But is it ever enough
I feel the pressure collapse
Out of breath
And out of time
Out of the one thing
You worked your whole life for
I gave everything to the night
Gave everything for the song
When I lost myself to learn
Everyday I am reborn
Separate my heart
Tear apart the flesh
Devastate and subjugate myself to an awakening
Perpetual
Terminal

[@stuckintheinbetween]

One of the most underrated/underappreciated metal bands.

[@RADIOMETRIC_]

since longer than a decade

[@michaelrichardson51]

Facts just seen them and they fucking 🤘🏿

[@jasonyay7135]

i had just spoken those exact words to myself

[@northernlefty5412]

Criminally under-rated their entire careers

[@autumnsphere7581]

Check out thy darkened shade

[@dearlydemented19ify]

The fact they dropped this album in 2024 is insane. The evolution of this band in incredible.

[@mathias6423]

I love Darkest Hour, they were fronting for As I Lay Dying 15-18 years ago or something when I watched them perform live in Stockholm Sweden. I had not heard much from them before that gig but I remember to this day clearly when they started with that "With a thousand words to say but one" with that long intro that got the crowd hyped up and wild before their chaos riffing started and everybody was jumping around haha, really good stuff =) Since I am a guitarist myself I really enjoy such guitar heavy/focused metal like Darkest Hour plays. They have such amazing riffs and melodies on their guitars that the rest of the music seems to be centered around, I just love it =)

[@darkesthourdudes]

So hyped!!! We are ready!!!!

Yeah, seriously. Like hours listened I think they have it for me and that's not intentional. It just happens. Like I just jumped on this DH train on KZbin to hear Terra Solaris again cause it was stuck in my head. The instrumental from, fuck a decade plus ago, was stuck in my head haha.

so why do you call it metalcore in the first place, before u call them melodeath?

[@blstem5561]

anyway.. it's just darkest hour. POINT

[@Luke_Anthony]

dude I know! I’m so glad they haven’t sold out to become some alternative metal band like every band does nowadays. I hate that shit

[@blstem5561]

METALCORE!???

[@Imfreehowaboutu]

Sounds like metalcore to me. Not to mention wiki and all over the internet describes them that way. Plus they came out during the rise of metalcore and toured with metalcore bands. 🤷‍♂️

[@CHRlSBLAlN]

Almost 30 years and still putting out music that pushes the genre forward. Unreal. This rules

[@wowno5763]

Lmao, i love Darkest Hour, but how does this push the genre forward, like at all.

[@Hail2DThief]

I love DH and I love this song bc it is 100% DH recipe they’ve been using since the early 2000’s.

[@CHRlSBLAlN]

@@wowno5763 To be clear, I’m talking about the track, not necessarily the video. The production on this track is a benchmark, John’s pitched vocals continue to be the best example of the blended styles of melodic DM and hardcore, Nico’s modern embellishments in the solo, and beyond that - the callback to highly illustrative artwork for the album all stick out to me as being very positive momentum for metalcore. Maybe not at face value, but they are doing all of the important things right imo

[@OfADemon]

@@CHRlSBLAlN it's still a sound that has been done for years. There's nothing new here. I guess it's better than going backwards but there's nothing in this song that pushes anything forward. It's just riding the momentum . They've got the recipe for their sound on lock, but we've all heard this before.

[@CHRlSBLAlN]

@@OfADemon I’m not dying on this hill lol “pushes it in the direction I like” is probably a better way to word it. The modern production touches is what I’m focusing on, not songwriting. That formula has been perfected and they’re right not to break it

[@gameaddict6969]

This songs feels as if it were off of the deliver us album. So glad my favorite band is still making music to this day. Been with you guys since mark of the Judas. Keep it up guys! Still miss Ryan Perrish and Kris Norris.

[@DweezlePeePants]

It's hard for me to remember all the members and their impact on the sound, did either of those two have a significant impact on the sound of an album? I've been a fan since 2003 and have loved many many albums of theirs it would be cool to know more about what made them special.

[@gameaddict6969]

@@DweezlePeePants They are the original members. The first couple albums sound way different. Hidden hands of a saddest nation and Mark of the Judas were my favorite.

[@wowno5763]

Lol, i love DH, but they certainly have not "evolved with each album," and this song is right back to their classic sound, theres no evolution here.

I'm so stoked for this. All 9 albums leading up to this one are stellar. I don't think this band is capable of making bad music.

[@wowno5763]

Their self titled album kinda sucked, but yeah, other than that, not one bad song in their discography.

[@richardsinclair7661]

@@wowno5763Self-titled was fine for me. I expected far worse considering they were on Sumerian at the time and they were pushing djent *really hard* back then. I expected a complete change in sound. The Human Romance is the "worst" for me. Sounded super watered-down and formulaic in comparison to their other records. I put worst in parentheses because it's still an okay record, just not one I go back to a lot.

[@stickiestring]

The self-titled album was a swing at mainstream. And thankfully they struck out.

[@MarshFogBand]

[@qpphil5150]

they still have the best riffs in the metalcore realm

[@bradleywhitaker6936]

To be fair to you, I'm honestly not trying to troll you for your comment, but just create conversation. When I listen to Darkest Hour, I really don't hear them as a metalcore band. I've always found it difficult to put a label on their sound. It doesn't sound like metalcore to me. The riffs have an At The Gates kind of flavor, but the overall sound is not quite Melodic Death Metal. It's definitely not your traditional Death Metal sound. It's just a good mixture of different genres and styles that come together into one cohesive sound. Most bands that mix different styles sound gimmicky, in my opinion, but Darkest Hour truly pulls it off. That's what makes them special, in my opinion. No tired breakdowns, no trends. Just fast, melodic riffing, excellent guitar solos, a unique vocalist that is hard to label, and a truly unique groove. I've always loved Darkest Hour. They're great.

[@qpphil5150]

@@bradleywhitaker6936 I can only agree and want to add that slaughter of the souls is the cookbook for every metalcore riff out there. And darkest hour were definitely one of the first to include those gothenburgian riffs into their sound

[@RthereNEusernames]

@@bradleywhitaker6936 They're definitely a melodic metalcore band. The problem is there are a lot of sounds that fit the description of metalcore. That said, there are definitely elements of metalcore here.
