Biography

Darkest Hour, hailing from Washington, DC, emerged from the mid-90s punk/metal/hardcore scene, blending the passion of punk/hardcore with the speed and fury of melodic speed/thrash/death metal. As pioneers of the New Wave of American Metal, they revitalized the metal and hardcore/punk world with a unique sound that combined 80s hardcore punk and 90s Scandinavian death metal.

In their 23-year career, Darkest Hour has released 9 studio albums across 11 record labels, showcased their music in various media platforms, and extensively toured worldwide, visiting 6 continents. The band lineup includes Mike Schleibaum and Nico Santora on guitars, John Henry on vocals, Aaron Deal on bass, and Travis Orbin on drums.
