Critically acclaimed Darkest Hour have announced some shows in December as they take a break from work on their next album. Guitarist Mike Schleibaum announced the shows and talked a little about their time in the studio:
We have been traveling between Richmond, VA and Baltimore, MD the past month or so working on the material and couldn't be more stoked. Every Darkest Hour record is an experience to make (to say the least) and this record is no exception. It's been a lot of long hours and long days but the record is beginning to take shape and that is always an amazing thing to see happen. Who knows, [at the] shows in December, we might just play a new song or two.
The record marks the first from the band since the departure of longtime guitarist Kris Norris and the introduction of his replacement Mike "Lonestar" Carrigan. Deliver Us was released in 2007.
