Massachusetts-based UNEARTH have checked in with an update following a recent trip to Alaska:

Vocalist Trevor Phipps comments: "Alaska was once again phenomenal. Thank you to all of our fans in Anchorage for making it out again and thanks to all the new faces we saw in our first ever trip to Fairbanks. Alaska definitely knows their metal and we look forward to coming back again. Till next time..."

As previously reporetd, Unearth will release their new album, Darkness In The Light, on July 5th via Metal Blade Records. Phipps has issued the following statement:

"Darkness In The Light is without a doubt some of the heaviest, most dynamic and memorable tunes we've ever written. The disc is littered with the shred 'n' stomp-filled songs our fans would expect from us, as well as some added vocal hooks, guitar melodies, guitar solos and some different paths taken in style and structure. We knew we had to continue to separate ourselves from the pack and to cement our place in the heavy metal world as one of the leaders and not as one of the many followers that seem to hop on the trend wagon and give up so easily when the going gets hard. We are here to stay and collectively we couldn't be any more fired up to play these songs around the world for our fans new and old."

Darkness In The Light was recorded at Zing Studios in Westfield, Massachusetts with producer Adam Dutkiewicz (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE guitarist). The album was mixed by Mark Lewis (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER, TRIVIUM) from Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida.

Check out the first single 'Eyes Of Black' below. Said Phipps of the track: "We chose 'Eyes Of Black' to be the first song heard out of the gate as we feel it represents the 'Unearth sound' and style perfectly and it's simply a hard-hitting, catchy-as-hell song. The lyrics are also in line with many of the albums darker lyrical themes. I'm not speaking for all of the band, but this is my personal favorite on the album and I can't wait to get out there and play it live!"
