A bastard child born of the mid 90s punk/metal/hardcore movement, DARKEST HOUR combines the passion, energy, and soul of punk/hardcore with the style, speed, vengeance and fury of melodic speed/thrash/death metal. In this decade-without-a-name, DARKEST HOUR defined the entire New Wave Of American Metal sound and gave the metal and hardcore/punk world a revitalization it surely needed. This new 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.
Their third album Undoing Ruin was their most innovative yet, blending death metal rolls with straight-up thrash-metal shredding. They even throw some piano in here and there, but they do so without compromising their trademark sound. Recorded by Devin Townsend at Greenhouse Studios (Vancouver, BC), the sound is more developed, the production outstanding, and the overall composition of the record without a doubt among the top metal albums released in 2005.
Album includes printed lyric insert and a digital download.
