Their sound is akin to classic European metal acts such as At the Gates and In Flames, but it is noted for the incorporation of elements of hardcore punk music. Over the years they have toured with many influential acts, including The Crown, Zao, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Thrice, and Soilwork. They also played 2004&#8217;s Ozzfest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DARKEST HOUR have announced the departure of their guitarist Michael \u201cLonestar\u201d Carrigan.
