Darkest Hour - Godless Prophets & The Migrant Flora (2017)

The D.C. metalcore pioneers shall release their ninth full-length album, Godless Prophets & The Migrant Flora, on March 10 via Southern Lord. A bastard child born of the mid 90s punk/metal/hardcore movement, Washington, DC's Darkest Hour combine the passion, energy, and soul of punk/hardcore with the style, speed, vengeance and fury of melodic speed/thrash/death metal. They helped to define the entire New Wave of American Metal sound as one of the pioneers of modern metal/core. A sound that gave the metal and hardcore/punk world the revitalisation it surely needed. This style blended the raw, hardcore punk of the 80s, with the Scandinavian death metal of the 90s and forged a sound that would later become the template for modern metal.
