Darkest Hour have added drummer Travis Orbin (Ex-Periphery/Sky Eats Airplane) to their lineup. Orbin will be involved with the bands new record and said of his time spent with them thus far:
“I’ve been jamming and writing the new record with the guys for over a year. It’s been especially rewarding in that everything was composed in a room together, a wholly organic process that I haven’t experienced in a long while. I’m excited about the tunes, signing on as a full-time member, and can’t wait to hit the road!”
Band vocalist John Henry added:
“This is a very exciting time in the history of the band. Travis is hands down one of the best drummers I have ever seen, and is bringing to the table an incredible and inspiring amount of talent and musical ability. This marks the beginning of a new era for Darkest Hour, one you will have to hear and see to believe!”
A new studio album from the band is due out late this year. Meanwhile, more word on Orbin‘s addition to the outfit can be found over at Revolvermag.com.
