Darkest Hour heads to Europe for winter tour

DARKEST HOUR will heading over to Europe this winter and they couldn’t be more excited to get back across the pond. “Put on your winter jacket and get ready for endless nights of good times, because were headed back to Europe. We’re bringing the legacy tour overseas – playing songs from our entire catalog. We fell in love with Europe in 2000 and have enjoyed touring there for an entire decade.  Playing from squats to arenas and everywhere in between, we’ve made some of our closest friends and have had some of the best times or our lives.  Experiencing all forms of cultures and enjoying the beautiful diversity of the European continent has always been a joy for the entire band.  Since our European bros are true purists I am sure they will enjoy the set we have cooked up for them.” says guitarist Mike Schleibaum.

Coming along for the ride will be PROTEST THE HERO, BORN OF OSIRIS and PURIFIED IN BLOOD. Ticket info can be found at http://www.darkesthour.cc
