Darkness In The Light, the latest studio offering from Massachusetts metallers UNEARTH, hits North American record shelves TODAY! The explosive 11-track recording comes to you by way of Metal Blade Records. Recorded at Zing Studios in Westfield, Massachusetts with producer/Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz and mixed at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida by Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Trivium, et al), Darkness In The Light finds UNEARTH at their most volatile.
Check out a thorough, track-by-track breakdown of the record by vocalist Trevor Phipps, courtesy of Alternative Press, HERE.
Coinciding with the release of the record, UNEARTH will do a special in-store autograph signing TODAY at Hastings Books Music & Videos. The band will kick off a summer’s worth of tour dates that include a slot on this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival later this evening at Jake’s (a headlining show).

“Darkness In The Light is a maelstrom of melodic riffs, screamy shouts and enough noodling to keep Guitar Hero nerds happy. But it’s not chasing maidens and slaying dragons; Unearth have enough of the ’90s straight-edge hardcore scene still left in their blood to give the lyrics an impassioned warrior cry against corrupt politics and wavering faith.” — Alternative Press
“Tight riffing, varying from technical pedal-style patterns to twin-harmony Maiden/At The Gates worship, plus all the brutally chugging breakdowns, will surely serve to inspire many a karate kick in the pits come tour time. This is definitely music to move by… ” — Fangoria
“…powerful, has the right amount of grab to it, and definitely has the spit-filled rage lyrically that this kind of music once possessed before being softened for the mall kids.” — Pit Riff
“Darkness In The Light is a first rate slice of metal that helps return the meat to the hollowed and empty husk of the metalcore genre.” — Crave
“Whether they’re tearing up a club at a headlining gig, opening for another band on a few square feet of stage space or blasting through headphones, that unmistakable energy is always there.” — Decibel
“Darkness in the Light is the cement that will hold these dudes in place in the metalcore Hall of Fame. It’s the middle finger to all who have turned their back on this band in the last few years.” — Decoy
“If any band today can write a fresh record in a genre over-saturated with hordes of manipulators. It’ll be Massachusetts’ metalcore leaders UNEARTH.” — Metality
