In the late 90s Massachusetts’s Unearth would see the light. "Darkness In The Light", is their fifth full-length, the quintet have delivered their most honest, powerful, and compelling statement to date, driving a fist into the collective gut of every image-obsessed wannabe metal band currently cluttering up the landscape, and setting a new standard when it comes to marrying precision brute force and exhilarating melody.

Whilst this took three years to make, the band's previous release saw them working at their very hardest creating a legion of followers that they can rely on no matter what. Looking back at their much earlier works 2006's III: In the Eyes Of Fire" and 2004's "The Oncoming Storm" frontman Trevor Phipps believed that they had to return to where they once began and that is what bring us back to this so-called 'Darkness In The Light" release.

With its eleven tracks this release sees forth the long time fans with the new comers "Watch It Burn" ignites an explosive retch of guitar work with powerful vocals that surge right into the music. Whereas "Arise The War Cry", reaches greater strengths in lyrical context and instrumental purposes. Now "Shadows In The Light", "Eyes Of Black", and "Disillusion", recaptures the band at their earlier peak of their musical career returning to how things were on 2004's "The Oncoming Storm".

Unearth's lyrical context with empowering music structure really compels the band's ability when wanting to make the music they want. The band will be gearing things up to bring the darkness back into the light.

Today popular metal portal MetalSucks hosts the worldwide premiere of UNEARTH's "Ruination Of The Lost," the explosive second track off the band's upcoming Darkness In The Light full-length.

Commented vocalist Trevor Phipps: "'Ruination Of The Lost' is a pummeling frontend album song that showcases our mix of both American and European metallic influences with an Apocalyptic lyrical theme. Buz [McGrath] and Ken [Susi] both rip some serious guitar solos in the tune and their guitar harmonies are hauntingly catchy. This one is a high energy shredder while lyrically it speaks about the end of the human race in the not so distant future if we continue to destroy our planet with the current level of disregard year after year. It's hard for me to understand why people still let money and politics interfere with any real positive change even with the warning signs Mother Nature has given us. The title of the song refers to the self-destructive nature of the human race and how we are collectively so lost in our lust for money and power that we are destroying the world that gave us life in the first place."

Charging out of the late '90s Massachusetts underground in a storm of thunderous riffs and focused aggression, in 2011 UNEARTH proudly stand at the forefront of modern metal.

Slated for North American release via Metal Blade Records July 5, the 11-track long player was recorded at Zing Studios in Westfield, Massachusetts with producer (and Killswitch Engage guitarist) Adam Dutkiewicz and mixed at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida by Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Trivium, et al).

Regarding the band's decision to work with Foley on the new CD, UNEARTH previously said in a statement, "Foley was an obvious choice for this album for many reasons, but mainly because of his abilities and knowledge of heavy music as well as his longtime friendship with the band. A decade-plus of friendship has made this an easy transition for the band, Foley and our producer/engineer Adam."

UNEARTH last fall parted ways with drummer Derek Kerswill due to "creative differences." The band stated at the time, "The differences between Kerswill and the band started off as subtle, but became increasingly obvious over the past few months and it was time for both parties to go their separate ways."

UNEARTH recruited drummer Branden Morgan of MISERY SIGNALS to sit behind the kit for the band's European dates as part of last year's Persistence Tour.
