Speed of Darkness by Flogging Molly

Speed of Darkness, Flogging Molly's fifth studio album, came out on May 31, 2011, and the Los Angeles Celtic punks cut it at Echo Mountain, a former church turned recording studio in Asheville, North Carolina. Ryan Hewitt, whose credits include the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Avett Brothers, produced it.

Dave King, the Irish frontman who once sang in Fastway, took the title from something said by Dino Misetić, the artist who designed the cover and grew up in the Balkans during the wars there, about the darkness nobody can teach you to measure. "Revolution" is the rabble-rousing, fist-in-the-air stomp of the set, a Celtic lilt riding a punk rhythm section. It entered the Billboard 200 at number nine, and it was the last album with drummer George Schwindt.
