DARKEST HOUR Announces New Guitarist, Studio Plans

September 15, 2008

Washington, D.C. metallers DARKEST HOUR have confirmed that they have parted ways with guitarist Kris Norris. Kris will be working on several projects over the next few months. DARKEST HOUR writes, "As bandmates, but more importantly as friends, we wish him all the luck."

Replacing Norris in DARKEST HOUR is Houston's Mike "Lonestar" Carrigan, who filled in for Kris during the recently completed Thrash and Burn tour.

DARKEST HOUR will enter Baltimore, Maryland's Salad Days Studio in November with producer Brian McTernan to begin recording its new album for a spring 2009 release via Victory Records.

Commented guitarist Mike Schleibaum: "We are excited to work with Brian again. He has been a longtime friend and supporter of the band ever since its very first shows in 1995. When we recorded 'Mark of the Judas' with him in 2000, it helped solidify our sound and define us as a band. Eight years later, it's time to do it again. With all the scars of our past to guide us, we look towards a new future."

Look for a DARKEST HOUR European headlining tour in January.

DARKEST HOUR's latest album, "Deliver Us", was released in July 2007 via Victory Records. The follow-up to 2005's "Undoing Ruin" was recorded at the Warehouse in Vancouver, Canada.
