Metal / Hardcore / Punk / Pioneers of Modern Metal-Core / Est. 1995 Washington, DC!

"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. DARKEST HOUR have helped defined 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 revitalization 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. Since their inception 27 years ago, Darkest Hour has released 9 studio full-length albums (via 11 different record labels), appeared in major motion pictures, US television shows, video games, and have toured the world extensively covering 6 of the 7 continents."
