Darkest Hour Australian Tour

Long before MTV was drowning in metalcore bands screaming about their girlfriends, the metal Gods that be endowed DARKEST HOUR’s members with a vision. It was to meld the intensity of thrash, the melody of Swedish deathmetal and punk’s angst-fuelled attitude, unleashing the ferocity that lay dormant in their hearts. 9 brutal years later and DARKEST HOUR’s quest to spread this horned message has seen them tour with everyone from Thrice to Killswitch Engage and rise to Ozzfest fame. Finally it’s guiding them across the seas, back to Australian shores.

Their last record, Undoing Ruinwas proclaimed an “instant metal classic” by Alternative Press, rating it 5 out of 5. On the verge of letting their follow up loose, DARKEST HOUR returns to bombard fans with their trademark mesh of metal-hardcore circle-pit sickness. Known for their blistering performances, they’re fresh out of the studio with legendary metal producer Devin Townsend (Soilwork, Lamb of God etc), with a highly anticipated new record and a lot of pent up onstage-rage to show for it.

Australian lovers of things metal and hardcore are among the first in line to take the full brunt this June.
