Regarding the songwriting process for the band's new album, DARKEST HOUR guitarist Mike Schleibaum stated, "We have been traveling between Richmond, Virginia and Baltimore, Maryland the past month or so working on the material and couldn't be more stoked. Every DARKEST HOUR record is an experience to make (to say the least) and this record is no exception. Its been a lot of long hours and long days but the record is beginning to take shape and that is always an amazing thing to see happen. Who knows, shows in December, we might just play a new song or two!"
DARKEST HOUR will enter Baltimore, Maryland's Salad Days Studio later this month with producer Brian McTernan to begin recording its new album for a spring 2009 release via Victory Records.
Commented 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 recently parted ways with guitarist Kris Norris and replaced him with Houston's Mike "Lonestar" Carrigan, who filled in for Kris during the Thrash and Burn tour.
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.
