About This Album
So Sedated, So Secure holds promise, its ambitions indicating a penchant for gruff death and thrash balanced by melodic turns and solos. Darkest Hour don't always do their ambitions justice, though. The tones, production, and vocals -- a wonderful evil sneer fighting a throaty growl -- are all right-on, but their simple guitar riffs, which stylistically may have peaked with Exodus in the late '80s, are what hangs them up. The album is solidly written, though, and new melodic takes on death metal are always welcome. No one is expecting the next Carcass, but if Darkest Hour upped the technical ante some, they could definitely enter the big leagues. [The CD was also released with bonus tracks.] ~ Matthew Kantor, All Music Guide
