UNEARTH: New Record In Stores Today!

Track-By-Track Breakdown Brought To You By Alternative Press; U.S. Tour To Commence This Evening

Darkness In The Light, the latest studio offering from Massachusetts metallers UNEARTH, hits North American record shelves TODAY! The explosive 11-track recording comes to you by way of Metal Blade Records. Recorded at Zing Studios in Westfield, Massachusetts with producer/Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz and mixed at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida by Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Trivium, et al), Darkness In The Light finds UNEARTH at their most volatile.

Check out a thorough, track-by-track breakdown of the record by vocalist Trevor Phipps, courtesy of Alternative Press, HERE.

“Eyes Of Black”

This one is currently my favorite track on the record. It has every element I love about metal: heaviness, speed, solos, angry vocal spit, a chorus you can scream along to and some Southern-rock-influenced metal riffs that add to the heaviness and grit of the song. The lyrics speak of becoming desensitized to tragedy and the harsh dealings life can provide, because of seeing and experiencing so much of it around you. As time goes on, I feel it is something more and more of us can relate to.  More here.

Coinciding with the release of the record, UNEARTH will do a special in-store autograph signing TODAY at Hastings Books Music & Videos. The band will kick off a summer's worth of tour dates that include a slot on this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival later this evening at Jake’s (a headlining show).
