The fifth album by power metal outfit Darkest Hour is one of the band's strongest, given its top-notch material, air-tight performances, and perfect synthesis of black metal and classic hardcore. Relentlessly heavy, DELIVER US marries pounding rhythmic aggression and shredding duel-guitar work in a manner familiar to fans of the genre, but it's the band's utter command of dynamics and interplay, not to mention frontman John Henry's tunes, that set this music apart and cement the Darkest Hour's status as frontrunners in the game. The beautiful, lavish packaging from Victory Records is added icing on the cake.
