DARKEST HOUR Is 'Stoked' About Being Part Of SOUNDS OF THE UNDERGROUND Tour

April 14, 2007

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

"DARKEST HOUR is stoked to jam hard, party hard, and hang hard with all the bands, fans, bros and brodettes on this years Sounds the Underground! We look forward to partying in parking lots all over the U.S. — so come out to the shows bring a six pack and find our BBQ cause we want to party with YOU! Sounds will be our first U.S. tour on the 'Deliver Us' record, as well as the first time we play many of these songs live. We can't wait to share these tunes with everyone out there! Keep checking our MySpace page and our website for updates — details about the new record will be slowly unraveling. Producer Devin Townsend put us through the ringer on this record, and we couldn't be more thankful. His heart and passion were the greatest gift we could have gotten, and we can't wait to share that feeling of these songs with you on this year's Sounds of the Underground!"

DARKEST HOUR's long-awaited follow-up to 2005's "Undoing Ruin" was recently recorded at the Warehouse in Vancouver, Canada. "Deliver Us" is expected to be released July 10 on Victory Records. The band will follow recording by doing four U.S. dates in April with JOB FOR A COWBOY.

"It's the crispiest, most savory DARKEST HOUR to date," producer Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD) recently stated. "We turned up the monitors and my head exploded."

Last seen picking up stray pieces of Devin's cerebellum was guitarist Mike Schleibaum, who added, "Working with Devin this time has been sick as hell. We have worked long hours on these songs and, honestly, our hands, legs and bodies haven't hurt from playing so much since we can remember. We are truly stoked to present these songs on this record. It is some of our most complex, melodic, brutal, and aggressive songs to date. There's some punk, metal, thrash, shred, prog, and even a little of Devin Townsend's special sauce mixed in this metal gumbo!"
