Dark Matter is the fourth studio album by American metalcore band The Word Alive.

This record completely defines and expresses who we are, and where we are going, taking the listener to the darkest and most honest places our band has dared to venture.

Already Heard rated the album 4 out of 5 and: "In reality though, Dark Matter marks a bold new chapter for The Word Alive, one where their 'pretender' tag is ditched in favour of something much more representative of this newfound greatness.

Because for an album that sheds any much-maligned genre tropes in favour of a genuinely exciting, melodic sound, there can't have been many who'd have thought it'd be The Word Alive to pull it off.

"[5] Kriston McConnell from New Noise rated the album positively calling it: "Dark Matter is the most mature record the band has released to date.
