Its a rare thing in the heavy music genre that a band manages to maintain its integrity and respect from fans and peers alike. Pantera did it in the 90s and managed to set standards that many metal and hardcore bands, and fans alike, still hold onto. Unearth, hailing from the musical mecca known as Massachusettes, are one of a dying breed of bands that still, record after record, encompass the ability to level and annihilate with each record. With an impressive catalog behind them, including two EPs, four full lengths and a live dvd/cd, Unearth come out swinging with Darkness In The Light. Once again produced by Times of Grace/Killswitch Engage mad man Adam D., with drums being tracked by Killswitch s Justin Foley, Unearth have armed themselves with an impressive 11 tracks of musical muscle. Everything Unearth have ever done in their career is showcased here. Metallic metal crunch, ripping solos, ala Dimebag Darrell (R.I.P.), hardcore swagger and Trevor Phipps unique brand of vocal delivery. Not so much preachy but raw, in your face truth. From the beginning track, Watch It Burn, we are put on notice that Unearth are back and have no plans on going anywhere. Scathing vocals, Buz McGrath and Ken Susi's unbeatable dualing shredding guitars, Slo's gnarley bass and the building leveling drumming swirl and mix into epicness. The final seconds of the song the band assaults us with what will most assuredly be a pit favorite for years to come. From there the onslaught continues until we reach Equinox . This is this album's breather, reminiscent of The Oncoming Storm's Aries, albeit shorter. Then the band's brand of Metal meets Hardcore destruction continues to pulverize you into submission. As long as Unearth exists and continues to write and perform quality music, and continues to further blur the lines of hardcore and metal they will never be cast aside by heavy music fans. Darkness In The Light represents a band that is familiar and comfortable in their own skins and place among the musical elite. Will they ever reach the success of Pantera? Unlikely. But who wants to try and top that? Will they command the respect and admiration? Most assuredly. --Jon Hole
