Riding on the wave of popularity that has become the Industrial/Gothic cover
scene, Cleopatra Records has released yet another compilation of cover songs.
This time around they have arguably chosen the best cover songs which have
appeared elsewhere on a variety of tribute and individual albums on their
roster. As a result, if you've ever purchased a collection of covers on
Cleopatra Records, you probably have the majority of the tracks present here
and you are better off saving your money. However if you are new to the entire
cover fad, then "The Darkest Hour" is a rather diverse collection of tracks
that might interest you. While the music present is primarily of the standard
Industrial/Gothic vein, a handful of the tracks are either more guitar
centered like Type O Negative's rendition of 'Paranoid' or more dancey like
Information Society's 'Are Friends Electric?' Ultimately you get quite a nice
little cross section of modern interpretations of old school classics.
