December is shaping up to be a metalcore fan’s dream. Darkest Hour, Bleeding Through, God Forbid, and Nora will team up for a short but stacked run of shows being dubbed The Mount Rushmore of Metal Core Tour by Darkest Hour themselves.
The three-date trek will see each band celebrating a milestone in their career:
- Darkest Hour will mark their 30th anniversary with a career-spanning set
- Bleeding Through will perform a special set honoring the 20th anniversary of their 2005 album The Truth
- God Forbid will play their 2005 record IV: Constitution of Treason in full
- Nora well round out the bill, representing their NJ hardcore roots
Darkest Hour commented: “Call it ‘The Metal Core War Tour’ – ‘The Mount Rushmore of Metal Core Tour’ – ‘The Riffs, Pits, Hits, & Splifs Tour’ – …whatever you want…just make sure to get a ticket when you can and come join us as we close out 2025 with these three very special shows! Our official 30th anniversary hometown party is going to kick it all off!
“Joining us will be our good friends Bleeding Through and God Forbid who will both be playing special anniversary sets of their own. God Forbid will be celebrating their Constitution of Treason album by playing the entire record front to back and Bleeding Through will be celebrating 20 years of The Truth with a special set centered around that album.
“We will be playing ALL THE SONGS! – Yep, we are going to have a set full of bangers, surprises, and everything in between! In addition, our friends in the band Nora (from NJ) will join this string of dates, ensuring that these shows will be ripping and unforgettable from the first note.”
