Party Scars and Prison Bars: A Thrashography (DVD)

picture of cover
2005 - Victory Records (buy it)

Our DVD is a documentary of our first ten years as a band, from 1995 to 2005. It's packed with live and behind the scenes footage, including interviews with the band and our road dogs, tour footage, music videos, scenes from our first show ever, Kris talking shit, Paul's foot rotting off, Ryan brushing his teeth, John getting wasted, and Mike in the bathtub explaining why we hate Oklahoma so much. It's the safest way that we know of to party with DH.

Where Heroes Go To Die (split EP with Dawncore)

picture of cover

This is a special Europe-only split EP we did with our Hungarian bros Dawncore. We sometimes have copies of this with us on tour, but otherwise you can't find it outside of Europe. So if you live in the US and you're good with the computer, you have our permission to download our song. However, if you live in Europe, you should buy a copy and support Marco and Yvonne, because they're awesome dudes and we probably still owe them money.

  1. Dawncore - First Jealous, Then Dead
  2. Darkest Hour - With Friends Like These...

  2. A Blessing in Tragedy -- tabs

Darkest Hour / Groundzero - split 7"

picture of cover
1999 - East Coast Empire Records

We recorded our song for this split after we had added a second guitarist, but before Ryan joined the band. When you listen to it you can hear the beginnings of the sound that became Mark of the Judas.

  1. Darkest Hour - Faith Like Suicide
  2. Groundzero - Splinters in Ink
  3. Groundzero - Let's Have a War

The Prophecy Fulfilled

picture of cover

This is pretty much our first album. DH was a very different band when we made this, and we hadn't totally found our sound yet. It's not widely available, but you can still pick it up through Amazon if you're curious to hear some of the prehistory of Darkest Hour.

  1. Choir of the Prophecy Fullfilled -- mp3
  2. Reflections of Ruin
  3. Broken Wings
  4. This side of the Nightmare
  5. This Curse
  6. Coda XIII
