Check your heart rate, make sure your pulse is even, hang on to your defibrillator. Darkness Forgives, the newest album from post-hardcore rockers the Saddest Landscape, is fever-inducing, fire-starting music — all explosive guitars and roaring vocals, powerful enough to ignite even the most morose and sullen. Since the band’s inception in 2002, they’ve compiled an extensive discography that includes 25 releases; the members are spread all across the Northeast, but the distance and miles between them have only seemed to heighten their drive.
