DARKEST HOUR will join Decapitated next year for an extensive Winter tour. The Nihility Across North America trek begins February 4th in Tampa, Florida and runs through March 2nd in Santa Ana, California. Additional support will be provided by Incantation and Exmortus.
Guitarist Mike Schleibaum comments, "We are absolutely fired up to be joining Decapitated on their Nihility Across North America tour this coming February! We have been fans for years and they are, in our opinion, one of the best death metal bands out right now. We cannot wait to rock with them every night and party side stage as they crush like we know they do! Also, shout out to Incantation who are legends and our old friends in Exmortus who bring the shred. This tour will go to a few cities we rarely hit so we encourage you all to come out to these shows and celebrate life and metal with us!”

DARKEST HOUR continues to tour in support of their critically lauded Perpetual | Terminal full-length, released earlier this year via MNRK Heavy. Kerrang awarded the album a 4/5 rating, noting, “The mighty DARKEST HOUR delivers yet another slice of pure melodic death nirvana,” while Blabbermouth concurred, “As great as diehard fans will be expecting, and maybe even greater than that, Perpetual | Terminal adds yet more weight to DARKEST HOUR‘s unassailable reputation. Listen and learn, half-assed infidels: The experts are back.”
DARKEST HOUR tune into the cycle of death and rebirth, absorbing its intensity and spitting it back at the world in the form of a signature hybrid anchored by death metal exorcisms, thrash recklessness, hardcore punk attitude, and melodic catharsis at the speed of a circle pit. The Washington, D.C. quintet — Mike Schleibaum (guitars), John Henry (vocals), Aaron Deal (bass), Travis Orbin (drums), and Nico Santora (guitars) — has weathered time, trends, and tides of change and stand stronger nearly three decades since their formation. Their unique sonic style incorporates death metal exorcisms, thrash recklessness, hardcore punk attitude, and melodic catharsis at the speed of a circle pit.
Perpetual | Terminal is the band’s tenth full-length offering, available now on MNRK Heavy.
