Darkest Hour - Godless Prophets & The Migrant Flora (Profound Lore) 2017
8
The D.C. metal pioneers are back with their ninth full-length album, Godless Prophets & The Migrant Flora, which is their most powerful and best record yet. Right from the start, it’s evident why this new effort is more brutal, more solid and more fucking metal, the in your face old school punk/hardcore screams passion and energy, along with an irresistible, breakneck death-metal crushing intensity. The band’s songwriting maturity is evident in tunes like opener “Knife In The Safe Room” and the epic “Enter Oblivion”. With top notch production from the always great Kurt Ballou, Godless Prophets & The Migrant Flora is a ferocious and relentlessly brilliant effort, from a band that keeps breaking new grounds over and over again.
