***************DARKEST HOUR******************** In the eight years since Darkest Hour formed, the metal gods have molded them into an extremely fierce band incorporating elements of Death Metal, Thrash and Punk. They have honed their sound into a high octane frenzy of mayhem and chaotic melody with homicidal vocals, a machine gun bass drum and guitars that are technical yet reckless, embodying the ferocity that lies in their hearts. Darkest Hour has prevailed over countless setbacks, from line up changes to the label problems that preceded their signing to Victory. This is a band that will survive and thrive no matter what obstacles they face. Fans and press received Darkest Hour's first Victory release, "So Sedated, So Secure," with unadulterated elation, and the band proceeded to tour non-stop to spread their brutal message. Musically faster, more intense, and more melodic than any previous release, "Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation" is the next gospel in the new religion that is Darkest Hour. Lyrically, the record focuses on many issues, from aspects of American culture to personal relationships, to a song about the whole band being locked up by the Feds in Oklahoma. "Sadist Nation" is an indictment of America's culture of guns and violence while "Marching To The Killing Rhythm" and "The Patriot Virus" condemn blind patriotism and military arrogance equally.They will heed the wizard and set into motion a new tour onslaught with the release of "Hidden Hands of A Sadist Nation" on May 20th. I recommended these songs. ---------------Title----------------------------Album------------- With a thousand words to say but one - Undoing Ruin, 2004 Sound the surrender - Undoing Ruin, 2004 The Sadist Nation - The hidden hands of a sadist nation, 2003 Aequitas Veritas - The hidden hands of a sadist nation, 2003 The last dance massacre - So sedated, So secure, 2001 For the soul of the savior - The mark of judus, 2000 Messiah Complex - The mark of judus, 2000 How the beautiful decay - The mark of judus, 2000
