Darkest Hour have debuted their new single “Knife In The Safe Room”; take in the bruiser below courtesy of MetalSucks. Guitarist Mike Schleibaum explains:
“This song sets the tone for the album both lyrically and sonically. While this may be the most fierce album we have ever released, its depth and sonic richness are sure to be discovered as the listener dives in. Thematically this song has a dual purpose. On the surface it is a classic Darkest Hour song, ripe with the reflection of today’s bleak modern age but as you peel back the lyrics and ideas contained within the album story unfolds, one that is all too common in human history. This is the beginning, it is part bitter reflection of the way things are and part anthem for those who struggle to survive as the world encircles them. To quote Nina Simone: ‘An artists duty is to reflect the times’, with that we hold a mirror to the face of all things truly horrific and give you, ‘The Knife in the Safe Room’.”
The song appears on the group’s forthcoming record Godless Prophets & The Migrant Flora, out March 10th through Southern Lord Recordings. Pre-orders are now available at the label’s webstore, Bandcamp, and iTunes.
