Undoing Ruin is Darkest Hour's fourth album, but I'm going to review it first because it is the first album I heard from them. I have to, of course, do a little rant about something that I never understood... which is why people label this band under Metalcore. I guess they do have some Hardcore influence in their music, but they lack generic breakdowns and the music is more than just monotonous Metalcore riffs. This is why I placed them simply as Metal above, because they can't really be placed in any other particular branch of it. Anyway, Undoing Ruin is really a great album and Darkest Hour is a great band. The guitar riffs are very melodic, creative, and catchy (which I love!) and every instrument is played and recorded to its best. I saw these guys on their last headlining tour about two weeks ago and they put on one of the best performances I've ever seen in my life... and I've seen quite a lot.
About Rising Phoenix Music
Welcome to Rising Phoenix Music, a blog that's not so one-sided and biased, but has a variety of music that could suit the different tastes of others. I post and review heavy, brutal, loud, soft, relaxing, chill, and experimental music, so look through my archives, we might just have what you're looking for. I made this blog for the sake of these artists--new and old--to share my opinion on their music, and to tell you why I like it and why you might like it too! The artists and albums I post here all deserve to be known, praised, and remembered. I simply want to promote a vast variety of good music and to help out the bands and artists that deserve your attention, not piracy and stealing to deprive these bands of their income. I also believe that you cannot fully judge a band or musician until you have heard most of their material completely, which is why the albums are up for download. I urge you to buy the albums, buy their merchandise, go see them live (if they're still together) and support them!
