Washington, D.C.'s Darkest Hour have released an entirely instrumental version of their latest record, The Human Romance, via iTunes.
On the release, Darkest Hour guitarist Mike Schleibaum said: "Attention geeks, shredders, stem junkies and Karaoke fanatics. We're very stoked to offer you the instrumental version of The Human Romance. Feel free to download away and enjoy. If you haven't had a chance to pick up the record then by all means start with the version that has our very own John Henry singing on it. After all it ain't the DH with out the JH. These instrumentals will take you on one hell of an epic sonic journey so pick em both up, learn these words and scream your ass off with us at the shows!"
