Darkest Hour have revealed all of the details behind the follow up to 2007’s ‘Deliver Us’ hits the shelves.

June 23rd is the date set down by Darkest Hour for the release of their much anticipated new album, ‘The Eternal Return’.

Summing up the band’s fifth studio effort, guitarist Mike Schleibaum says: “To put it simply, this is a metal record made by dudes who have dedicated half of our lives to aggressive, unrelenting music.”

“I am very proud of the hard work and passion that both the band and producer Brian McTernan poured into this.” Added Schleibaum.

“After 14 years, we’ve decided there’s no reason to put out Darkest Hour records other then for ourselves and for the people that love this band. This record has no hidden agenda, no pop hit, or stylistic departure to broaden the fan base. Rather, it is a sick thrash, speed, melodic, metal record!

“If you’ve never found something that’s connected with you in a Darkest Hour record before, then take some time to listen to this one, because this is a defining Darkest Hour record.”

In more good Darkest Hour news, the band will hit the UK for a tour with Bleeding Through next month.
