Ex-youth puck player and Darkest Hour guitarist Mike Schleibaum notes about their forays into sports themes: "It was something we did just for pure fun. I mean, when you play music — especially death metal — for a living, you start to take a lot way too seriously. This tune is pure fun. We recorded and produced it ourselves in one night after reminiscing about our love for hockey — and don't forget, the beers helped.

"If you listen to the backup vocals you'll hear many of our friends that love hockey. Yeah, the crowd voices are actually a big group of all our D.C. friends. We just called 'em up and said, "Hey, you guys want some beers and to scream 'Let's Go Caps!' for a few hours?" It was a hell of a night!"

Darkest Hour will be main support on the most anticipated metal tour of the year – the At The Gates reunion tour. - Check out the pucking song here
