While America was busy watching soccer for (quite possibly, game’s not over yet) the last time for another four years, Darkest Hour stuck a new song on the internet via a lyric video. “Wasteland” is a great introduction to the new album, just as the band get set to head out on the road on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival this Saturday. The song’s got an incredibly catchy chorus that’s both melodic and heavy, and will probably get vocalist John Henry plenty of ass out on the road.

The band’s album, which will be self titled, will be available on August 5th on Sumerian. It can be pre-ordered here.
