US metalcore act Darkest Hour are about to enter the studio and they have announced that they are teaming up with renowned Soilwork guitarist and producer Peter Wichers. The band have put a lot of time and thought into choosing the right producer for this record and they're convinced they've found one. With records such as All That Remains The Fall Of Ideals and Soilwork's latest effort, The Panic Broadcast under his belt, Darkest Hour are quite confident in what Peter brings to the table.

Drummer Ryan Parish comments: "We're really excited about working with Peter on this album. It's going to be amazing collaborating with such an inventive and unique guitarist/musician to produce and document what we feel is the most emotional and melodic Darkest Hour album to date".

Vocalist John Henry adds: "Peter is someone we've admired and very much respected as a musician and producer for quite some time. Being a pioneer of the Swedish metal sound, (which has so greatly influenced our band) we hope to refine all of those classic elements with him and incorporate new methods to improve our songwriting".

Guitarist Michael "Mike" Schleibaum futher comments: "We have been working on these tunes ever since we left the studio last April. The Eternal Return was written during a very dark, bleak time for the band and I think that record matches that in both tone and character. Our vision was for it to be an in your face, no frill aggressive assault. The new material shares in that aggression and pushes Darkest Hour beyond the unknown."

Darkest Hour have posted the following studio update on their official web site:

"Darkest Hour has been buried in the studio for about two weeks now and we have gotten a hell of a lot done. All the basic structures for the songs are complete. There are now nine songs on the record and one acoustic piece. And we can say already this is hands down the best Darkest Hour record ever. We can't wait to present these songs to you guys. Kris and Mike make their guitar solo debut, there is definitely more for the shredders this time. Expect shorter more thrash' compact songs, as well as some surprises. We have been keeping the album title under warps but we will announce it soon. Lastly, the Darkest Hour summer vacation is coming together so we will announce big plans for the summer as well as the release date for the new Darkest Hour record soon. This week JH starts tracking the vocals and it all starts to make sense!"
