Washington D.C.-based metallers DARKEST HOUR will travel to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on February 19 to start the pre-production and recording process for their new album with producer Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, LAMB OF GOD, SOILWORK). A June/July release via Victory Records is expected. The band has issued the following update:



"All is good from the underground bunker where DARKEST HOUR is riffing out our new songs. We have nine songs (that's a full album, dudes!) and we will definitely have a few extra tracks that will be floating around after the record is recorded to so we hope to have some special releases in the works as well. We are off in less then a month to start preproduction with Devin and we couldn't be more stoked with how the songs are coming out. Think more melodic, more extreme, more insane, more circle pit. I mean, just think more awesome, man! Also our summer plans are in the works and we will be keeping you guys up to date as soon as we get an OK from the big man that we can announce that info!"

i really like this band.
i hope this record is like the 'mark of the judas' and some of there older stuff.. they're all super nice dudes i haven't seen them since the sthess tour in 2005 though... 'Veritas, Aequitas' is one of my all time favorite instrumentals right up there with the early maidens and metallicas
