We’re gonna stop guessing in advance who our Bang candidates are gonna pick. The only one we got right so far is Slipknot. After all, who else would pick their own video. But we were seriously banking on The Devil Wears Prada to choose a more melodic group like Atreyu or As I Lay Dying for their Bang of the Week. We never figered they’d select the thrashy, corrosive Darkest Hour. Here’s what singer Mike Hranica was thinking:
“The reason I picked Darkest Hour is because of their phenomenal guitar parts and
musicianship,” he says. “I think “Undoing ruin” is a very innovative record, and one of my favorites as far as fast metal is concerned. we ended up touring with them for a large portion of the summer on Sounds of the Underground Tour, where I picked up their new record Deliver Us. It was interesting to hear Darkest Hour continue their crazy guitar parts and solos, as well as expand their traditional vocal range to include some singing. They most certainly switched up their sound, while continuing their leadership in straight, good metal. in the vast world of metal bands.”
