Darkest Hour have posted more information on their collection of early pre-Victory recordings entitled Archives to be released through A-F Records. The release marks Darkest Hour's ten year anniversary and will include recordings as early as The Misanthrope EP from 1995 and The Prophecy Fulfilled from 1997. The band's guitarist Mike Schleibaum commented on the release, saying:

This is the first puzzle piece for DARKEST HOUR, the spark that lit the fire for us. This was our FIRST BAND and what you hear is music written for the right reason, it's not career-driven or funded by a big label. Hell, we paid for all of the recordings ourselves. Because we had no money we would buy gear from a music store by the studio, use it to record and return it when we were done. On the 'Prophecy Fufilled' EP we had no money to remix the record so we tracked the guitars in our friend's bathroom and then overdubbed that shit and released it like that. Back then you did anything and everything to put a record out...
