i listen to music, not genres, so i still like Darkest Hour. Definitely diferent than the previous albums but it is still well played and still sounds tight. Also.. how can you not amazed by this song's solo?
I agree.....though this album is different it is still amazing.....people are bitching about kris not being in the band but Lonestar shreds as a guitarist.....as evidenced by this solo. Jon's singing is also awesome.
People always cry about how Kris isn't in the band but the dude could never play his own solo's live. Go and look back at any Darkest Hour live video with him in the band and it's painful to listen to. Lonestar does a damn good job, and he can play everything he writes live!
noticed the new albums song pop up on my sub feed - personally ive never heard of them.. i listened threw all of the songs and found a couple i liked. i like what i like and this song being one that i liked
Yeah i do not get it!!! The album can do without some of the cleans but besides that the intensity is still as good as ever. The guitarists did a great job writing their own parts and the drummer killed it ! They have some of the best leads on here since Deliver Us. I think this is far better than the last 2 albums. The Eternal return had no progression or direction. The Human Romance was ok but played safely.
Thing is you can bitch all you want, but a lot of people still dig this, this is Darkest Hour's Reroute to Remain, which means it's modern and it's a grower.. And by the way we would all BEG In Flames to return to at least that album compared to the shit they've become wouldn't we?
Sorry they chose to do music for their fans and not for themsleves after this album,because this one was a great turn and good evolution in their discography.
THIS should be played in the radio instead of all the hiphop bullshit. This whole album is full of dangerously catchy songs. The music is great, the singing is awesome and the lyrics have good meanings behind them. Well done, Darkest Hour.
as a fan for the last 13 years I've gotta be honest - they simmered down. now, it's still an infallible album, and regardless of band members changing - it still is pretty good... not as raw and heavy as i'd like.. and not enough screaming as i'd like... but that's a personal preference. keep bashing, it'll make them realize it isn't hard enough, or should you like it - GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY.
Kris studied swedish death metal abroad so yeah that gave DH a European metal sound but i think lone star's playing gives DH a more american metal sound which opens up a lot of playing and musical options for the band, and besides lone star is bad ass!
Ed Hance Yea I know he's awesome on that album, but i am speaking in terms of what might have influenced them the most, I think at one time lone star was the band's guitar tech who learn a lot of there music and style, then when Kris left he landed the gig.
This is good. It'll take some getting used to but at least it still sounds like Darkest Hour. If they had to go radio friendly this is how id like it. At least they're not pulling a Trivium or an All that Remains, becoming so bland and uninteresting it doesn't even sound like them. I feel that Darkest Hour could use the cleans in more interesting ways but it's far from bad. And that post solo bridge.... it's amazing. The opening of this song reminds me of The Killers, and I like The Killers.
how is this bad the fuck??? sometimes people just aspects to much from a band and just doesn't give there music or album a listen and it's sad cause you miss out on some good music
I like how everybody is trying to justify the quality of the album to those that don't enjoy it. How could you expect all fans of older DH stuff to just enjoy this? This is so largely different from their previous sound that I'm surprised any DH fans enjoy it. That said, if you like it, great for you and for DH, every piece of music has a purpose and an audience. Not a fan, though, I'm gonna bump some Deliver Us...
Not really impressed. Kinda bums me out that they change their sound just to support metalcore fans. When I saw them on Summer Slaughter, they fit right in because they HAD a death metal edge. Like they used to. Not saying this is bad but very disappointed.
is this even the same band? not just the clean vocals but they sound so generic now and the lyrics are bland as hell I'm yours your mine lovey dovey. this is not darkest hour wtf is this
he man I know.... I've been a fan romantic the beginning, it's the album labels that make them do his just wait for their next album it's crowd funded so I'm sure it will go back to sadist nation shit but better sounding. if not God help us all
DH lost his label after "this" and they hade make a campaign to help pay for their next album. Not always this kind of mainstream commercial efforts works..... Now for good (and for his true fans) they just come back with her own (many) sounds. Not this shitty flower sparkly don't fucking know what is it hahaha.

Jim Lahey Apparently you since you replied to what he said.
This album is a masterpiece!

my favorite album of all time
Sorry they chose to do music for their fans and not for themsleves after this album,because this one was a great turn and good evolution in their discography.
2:38 one of the greatest things I've ever heard in fucking music!! I remember they teased that section on their facebook awhile back and I loved it!
dude you should check out from the tombs of five below by unearth or arise the war cry
2:40 is fucking amazing
I think this one is my favorite so far :)
THIS should be played in the radio instead of all the hiphop bullshit. This whole album is full of dangerously catchy songs. The music is great, the singing is awesome and the lyrics have good meanings behind them. Well done, Darkest Hour.
This is fairly radio friendly, hopefully it ends up there
Digging it... not sure I like the idea that this will end up on Octane over and over and over again!
I think this is my favorite one so far.
I fall in love with this song, the chorus, the solo and the riffs are so fucking catchy!
Darkest hour just shat on the current metalcore scene!!!!
That sounds cool
This album is awesome
as a fan for the last 13 years I've gotta be honest - they simmered down. now, it's still an infallible album, and regardless of band members changing - it still is pretty good... not as raw and heavy as i'd like.. and not enough screaming as i'd like... but that's a personal preference. keep bashing, it'll make them realize it isn't hard enough, or should you like it - GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY.
Don't worry, 3-Years-Ago-RandeezyFoSheezy, in the near future, they'll put out another screamer!!
All their shit is fire
Post solo bridge is sick!!!
Pretty sure everysingle solo in the album is fucking awesome.
Sunflowers will never die
i was pushin my cc turbo to this in an out curves AWESOME
Kris studied swedish death metal abroad so yeah that gave DH a European metal sound but i think lone star's playing gives DH a more american metal sound which opens up a lot of playing and musical options for the band, and besides lone star is bad ass!
Listen to the Human Romance dude. That album is riddled with At The Gates/old In Flames inspired music and lonestar was on it.
Ed Hance Yea I know he's awesome on that album, but i am speaking in terms of what might have influenced them the most, I think at one time lone star was the band's guitar tech who learn a lot of there music and style, then when Kris left he landed the gig.
Judas Rising Ah i see. I will agree this album has more of a American sound but Lonestar is capable of maintaining a euro sound.
This is good. It'll take some getting used to but at least it still sounds like Darkest Hour. If they had to go radio friendly this is how id like it.

Exactly not like ATR going all Nickelback with that cliche i love you girl line in that one song lol.
Fullcollapse1 there's also atreyu and avenged sevenfold
God Damn, those hammers & taps sound really fucking good!
I came twice at the solo
2:11
Like it !
Tastosis is back!
OH MY GOD!
dat solo doe >_
2:37 but that bridge though
This is pretty standard metalcore, but it does have a good solo and some interesting drumparts
These guys have been around before metalcore even existed.
xXAscendingPhoenixXx Yea when they actually made fucking awesome music.. I'm not saying this is bad but nothing in compare with their older stuff.
They're Melodic Death Metal.
Anthony Lujan not every song on this album is
Anthony Lujan They were
What's the term for that (impossible) shape on the album cover?:(
kickass song btw
this sounds like plans for retirement but I agree better than what happen to in flames and has anyone heard the garbage spewing out of atreyu and a7x
...Did you even listen to Long Live by Atreyu? It's right up there with The Curse.
In Flames is a hopeless case. Sad but True.

+John Russell totally feel you dude. What the fuck happened to this band?

WTF is this?! This can't be darkest hour. Who is singing? Went to shit since Undoing Ruin.
gay
I don't like his voice in this song. It isn't as attractive as in other themes. Just saying.
