Darkest Hour to play Ozzfest, re-release 'Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation' w/ bonus DVD!


Since the release of Hidden Hands Of A Sadist Nation in May 2003, DARKEST HOUR has toured the world with everyone from Poison The Well, Shadows Fall and Dillinger Escape Plan to the Take Action Tour with Cursive. As word spread about their insane live shows and rabid fan base, the largest heavy music tour in the world came calling. DARKEST HOUR is confirmed to rock the second stage all summer long on Ozzfest 2004! They will be joining friends like Atreyu and Lamb Of God in bringing the new generation of metal to the masses. The band couldn’t be more excited, guitarist Mike explains, "We are very stoked about being added to Ozzfest. There are so many great bands we grew up listening to, like Slayer, Sabbath, and Judas Priest, we can’t wait to see them, let alone be a part of the same tour. The line up brings us back to when we were younger, these bands made us excited about metal.”



To celebrate bringing the rock to large festival audiences all summer long, Victory Records will re-release Hidden Hands Of A Sadist Nation on July 13, 2004. The album Revolver Magazine called "...intricate and relentless -- a metalcore classic" will now include a bonus DVD with the new video for The Sadist Nation, behind the scenes footage that will have to be seen to be believed and a bonus track.



In the eight years since DARKEST HOUR formed, the metal gods have molded them into an extremely fierce band incorporating elements of death Metal, thrash and punk. They have honed their sound into a high octane frenzy of mayhem and chaotic melody, with homicidal vocals, a machine gun bass drum and guitars that are technical yet reckless, embodying the ferocity that lies in their hearts. Lyrically, the record focuses on many issues, from aspects of American culture to personal relationships, to a song about the whole band being locked up by the Feds in Oklahoma. The Sadist Nation is an indictment of America's culture of guns and violence while Marching To The Killing Rhythm and The Patriot Virus condemn blind patriotism and military arrogance equally. Musically faster, more intense, and more melodic than any previous release, Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation is the next gospel in the new religion that is DARKEST HOUR
