rdf:langString Our Darkest Days is the fourth studio album by American punk rock band Ignite. It was released on May 16, 2006 through Abacus Recordings. Following the release of their third studio album A Place Called Home (2000), the band left their label, went through line-up changes, and the members focused their time on the side project California United. Despite starting pre-production for a new album in early 2005, they did not start recording until November 2005, and eventually finishing in January 2006. Sessions were held at Maple Sound Studios in Santa Ana, California, and Paramount Studios, Hollywood, California with producer Cameron Webb. The album's melodic hardcore sound evokes the music of 7 Seconds and AFI (specifically their 1999 album Black Sails in the Sunset). Our Darkest Days received generally favorable reviews from music critics, some of whom praised the song writing and frontman Zoli Téglás' vocals. After recording finished, Ignite toured the US between February and April 2006 with Comeback Kid and First Blood. Following the album's release, Ignite trekked across Europe with With Honor, supported Strike Anywhere on their US tour, and ended the year supporting Pennywise on their Canadian tour. In early 2007, they appeared in South America and would play various festivals across Europe over the next several months, such as Reading and Leeds. They embarked on a European tour in April and May 2008, with a trek of Australia following in July 2008.
