Demon Hunter formed in 2002 as a project by the Clark brothers, Ryan and Don. In october they released their self titled album. Two years later came the release of Summer of Darkness. After a year of touring they headed to the studio again for the 2005 release of The Triptych. This album was a great success, and their fame grew greatly. In 2007, they released their fourth album, Storm the Gates of Hell, and began the Stronger Than Hell tour. Two live CD/DVD albums were released in between the fourth and fifth album. In August 2009 Ryan announced that most of the new album was finished. On March 9th, 2010, The World is A Thorn hit the music store shelves. It featured several guest vocalists, Dave Peters of Throwdown, Christian Alvestam, and Bjorn Strid.
What I like about them:
They are the first band that got me into metal.
Ryan Clark's singing voice has improved greatly over the years, and it sounds great mixed together.
Consistency of sound. They have this certain "Demon Hunter" sound that always sounds great, and has only gotten better and better.
Their acoustic songs are beautiful melodies and I just can't get enough of them.
My album ratings:
Self titled: 7.5/10 A great start.
Summer of Darkness: 7.9/10 A few amazing songs in it. Good overall.
The Triptych: 8.5/10 Good overall.
Storm the Gates of Hell: 8.6/10 A little bit less, but with a few great songs in it.
The World is a Thorn: 9.3/10 Their masterpiece so far. An outstanding album.
Overall rating: 9/10
Sample song from their new album:
Be sure to pick up a copy of their new album and rock on out to them! They are great for anyone to listen to.
