Darkest Hour have wrapped pre-production for their coming new album on Sumerian Records. The group have two more days of rehearsals planned and will then enter the studio to begin tracking the new outing with producer Taylor Larson (Sky Eats Airplane, Life On Repeat).
Both the album and a re-release of the groups debut “The Mark Of Judas” are planned to see a release in the coming months. Meanwhile, band frontman John Henry said of the new material and writing experience with their groups latest drummer Travis Orbin:
“To say that writing with Travis has been a metamorphosis is an understatement. His playing style and influence has soaked itself into the soul of the band. His perspective has brought new life into both our writing process and way of thinking. Taylor has fresh ears and new eyes on both production and the way people hear music.
We’ve recorded with some amazing producers (Brian Mcternan, Fredrick Nordstrom, Devin Townsend, Peter Witchers) who all in one way or another brought their own spin to the band’s sound. However, with these new demos we hear the potential for a new sonic overhaul and can’t wait to dig in and track these final takes.”
