Darkest Hour have premiered another new song titled “Timeless Numbers”. Guitarist Mike Schleibaum comments:
“This song, like ‘Knife In The Safe Room’, has a dual meaning. The first is the continuation of the story line that permeates the album. In this track we see our main character struggle with the inherit history of the culture he/she was brought up in and the realization that it was always in our nature to divide and consume ourselves.
In simpler terms, it is a reflection on the drain of modern life and the subsequent division/internal destruction that this life seems to always lead humanity towards. As we travel the world, we have seen how no matter where you are, humans divide themselves. We interact with immigration policies, borders and barriers that are cultural, economic, and political everyday that we are on tour. While traveling the world we have done our best to spread a message of anti-nationalism, unilateral respect for humans of all forms, and lastly the basic idea that music/art is more powerful and more eternal then religion, nation states, or even TECHNOLOGY!”
The track is set to appear on the D.C. outfit’s new record Godless Prophets & The Migrant Flora, due in stores on March 10th through Southern Lord. Pre-orders are now live and can be picked up at the label’s online store, Bandcamp, and iTunes.
Additionally, the group has released the first studio episode for the new album, titled Godless Prophets & The Migrant Flora – Web-i-sode 1: “Song Construction”. As per the title, the group talk about their songwriting process in the clip.
