Call it escape to stay alive Call it displacement with sunken eyes When all it takes to reignite Is separation of thought and sight Drought flood... See the rest of the song lyrics

    Godless Prophets & the Migrant Flora is the best Darkest Hour since those two albums, and positions the band well to lead the melodeath-inflected metalcore rebirth that, if the revival of its more chaotic precursor is any indication, might be just around the corner.

    Godless Prophets is as driven and vicious as anything the band has released with disembowlers like “This Is the Truth” and “Those Who Survived.”

    These aren’t the kind of riffs and melodies that will imprint onto my brain the way almost every song from Undoing Ruin or Deliver Us did, but Darkest Hour get a gold star for effort for delivering a strong metalcore record, and more importantly, for pulling off an immensely difficult comeback.

    As it stands, the barrage of brutality becomes overwhelming and, as noted above, wears the listener down more quickly than it has to.
