Smother Magazine Band Spotlight: Darkest Hour
Combining the best elements of metal, hardcore, and death metal, Darkest Hour is quite possibly the most exciting band in the metal scene today. Armed with a fierce guitar wall of sonic destruction and a thunderous drummer not to mention the splendid bass playing and the insane vocals, Darkest Hour champions all of those varied genres to form one cohesive unit of powerful metal.
With a live show that by itself is stuff of legends, Darkest Hour presents their latest endeavor "Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation".

the best metal band out there right now.
