Darkest Hour have some good news regarding their new album! They have secured producer, Kurt Ballou (Converge, High On Fire) to come on board and produce/record their 9th studio album. The U.S. metallers will be recording at his very own GodCity studios in Massachusetts this September. The band completed a crowdfunding campaign for this new album and exceeded its initial goal of $50,000 by nearly $20,000.

The band explains: "For this album, we really want to focus on our playing. We want to bring the energetic and raw emotion we exude live to tape. We love to jam / riff all day, and Kurt's unique style of producing will compliment this perfectly. Also, it doesn't hurt that we completely respect and trust him both as a friend and a musician - meaning this monumental task of bringing another Darkest Hour album to life will rest well in his hands. So, with our sights set on Boston this September we will get back to the riff dojo and start woodshed'n these jams! We have a lot more left to be revealed (this album is our album so no idea will be left unrealized) and you will all hear about it from us first."
