DARKEST HOUR Forced To Drop Off SOILWORK Tour

November 9, 2006

Washington D.C.-based metallers DARKEST HOUR have issued the following statement:

"We are sorry to announce that we must cancel our upcoming shows in Pittsburgh, Rochester, and Detroit on our curent tour with SOILWORK, MNEMIC, and THREAT SIGNAL. One of the us has a serious health issue that must be addressed immediately. We apologize to all the fans and the other bands, but when you're on tour forever health has to come first. We will see everyone in the U.K. [with BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and MISERY SIGNALS] next month and everyone in the U.S. with a new record next year."

The affected dates are as follows:

Nov. 09 - Rex Theatre - Pittsburgh, PA
Nov. 10 - The Penny Arcade - Rochester, NY
Nov. 11 - Harpo's - Detroit, MI

Pittsburgh, PA-based label A-F Records last month issued a collection of DARKEST HOUR's early recordings prior to the band's signing with Victory. Entitled "Archives", the set marks DARKEST HOUR's ten-year anniversary and features over an hour of rare and unreleased material, including the band's recordings as early as "The Misanthrope" EP, recorded in 1995 while the members were in high school. It continues the band's output with "The Prophecy Fulfilled" from 1997 and singles from vinyl as late as 1998.
