Darkness in the Light was released on July 5, 2011 by Metal Blade Records and has been reaping mass praise from fans and critics alike. Crave called the record, "…a first rate slice of metal that helps return the meat to the hollowed and empty husk of the metalcore genre," A&E Entertainment dubbed it, "'no compromise for anyone' music," and Decoy Music boasted, "its the middle finger to all who have turned their back on this band in the last few years." Ultimate-Guitar gave the record a 9/10 rating saying, "…this is a fantastic album, and if someone were to steal this, I'd probably get a wrecking crew on him/her," while Decibel notes, "Whether they're tearing up a club at a headlining gig, opening for another band on a few square feet of stage space or blasting through headphones, that unmistakable energy is always there." In conjunction with the release, UNEARTH kicked off a summer's worth of tour dates that include a slot on this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Remaining dates are below.

This is definitely music to move by… " Fangoria "…powerful, has the right amount of grab to it, and definitely has the spit-filled rage lyrically that this kind of music once possessed before being softened for the mall kids." -- Pitriff "If any band today can write a fresh record in a genre over-saturated with hordes of manipulators. It'll be Massachusetts' metalcore leaders UNEARTH."
