Veteran metal act DARKEST HOUR will release their seventh record, entitled The Human Romance, in Europe via Century Media Records on March 7th. The album will be released in North America on February 22nd for new label eOne Music. Renowned SOILWORK guitarist Peter Wichers, along with the band, produced the record himself.

The new single, 'Savor The Kill', can be heard on YouTube below:

This time around, the Darkest Hour songs were composed a bit differently than was the case in the past. Guitarist and founding member Mike Schleibaum explains, "We have been working on these tunes ever since we left the studio last April.”

Schleibaum continues, "The Eternal Return was written during a very dark, bleak time for the band and I think that record matches that in both tone and character. Our vision was for it to be an in-your-face, no-frills aggressive assault. The new material shares in that aggression and pushes Darkest Hour beyond the unknown."
