Full Album Stream: Darkest Hour - Darkest Hour

So one of the newest sections I created was "Full Album Streams".  Not only did this gave folks something to listen to when they are cruising the site (being that the original intention of this site was to acts as a hub to explore), but also a chance for people to explore new artists, new genres, and new albums before deciding to purchase them (also from links on AFGM's site).

Full album streams seem to be a new fad that a lot of internet savvy people are jumping on.  It can be in the form of a Soundcloud widget, a YouTube playlist, or even a single YouTube video.  This often gives record labels a chance to promote new artists and for people to subscribe to their social media pages.  So hopefully this provides you access to some new music, bands, and/or artists.  Cheers!

PS - Feel free to send us an email if you have any albums you think you should be on this list or a new one coming out we missed.  We're always listening!

"Fuck waiting around to die!" This is our first impression from the newest album from Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore band DARKEST HOUR, their first album with Sumerian Records, their self titled album and possibly their strongest album to date. DARKEST HOUR are in the right mind set with this album, the "dudes" really know what their doing and its time for everyone to pick up their album. -Metal Temple
