Darkest Hour - Hidden Hands Of A Sadist Nation
Review by Renee Huggins
Hidden Hands Of A Sadist Nation is a powerful and intense album by Darkest Hour that showcases the band's technical prowess and emotional depth. From the opening track "The Sadist Nation" to the closing song "Veritas, Aequitas," the album delivers a relentless barrage of metal riffs, thunderous drumming, and guttural vocals.
The standout track "Sound the Surrender" features a haunting melody and a soaring chorus that will stay with listeners long after the album is over. "One Thousand Words" is another highlight, with its intricate guitar work and dynamic shifts in tempo.

The band's 2003 album, Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation, is a replica of their previous two with more vaguely socio-political lyrics and longer songwriting.Highlights: "Accessible Losses".

Seeing this live tonight after first hearing back in '03 was amazing, just as much of a banger!

The last good Darkest Hour album. The shift to selling their souls for mainstream happened faster than Atreyu. I think DH should be ashamed.

For some reason I always get the urge to go Bear Hunting in the USA when I listen to Darkest Hour.

Who else got their hands on the mic during the dog pile? If you don't know, don't worry about it.
