Released in May via EMP LABEL GROUP/eOne, (and in August in

Music Productions/SPV) The Darkest of Angels, (produced at Dexter's Lab by Nick Bellmore), is a conceptual nod to DEAD BY WEDNESDAY's previous longtime vocalist, who left the band amidst an ongoing battle with substance abuse.
Instead of rushing into a replacement, the band, also featuring guitarist Joey Concepcion and bassist Mike Modeste, decided to create DOA, an entire album featuring tracks sang, and co-written, with guest vocalists, friends from prominent metal bands, each of who has had an impact on their lives. The result is an eclectic and emotional concept album showcasing the raw talent of DBW's writing, combined with the unique style of each guest vocalist.
