Hit: 5 Stars
I am a 28-year-old woman who owns three Demon Hunter albums. "Summer of Darkness" and "Triptych" each had their own special flavor, and you can tell with each new evolution that they really worked hard on every aspect of their music. Their songs are really addictive, intelligent and layered but catchy enough that I can't help but think I'll be hearing them on the radio soon. They satisfy my metal side while still serving up melodies and harmonies that keep me from getting bored; in other words, they don't lose sight of the fact that metal should still be music, and skillfully use both the harder and more beautiful ranges of the musical spectrum in order to create emphasis, variety, and depth.
But this time, they REALLY outdid themselves. I cannot stop listening to "Storm the Gates of Hell." Every day when I do my normal routine, I put that CD on and I think it's been a month of nearly uninterrupted listening. Particularly "Sixteen" is addictive; in fact, it's one of my favorite songs of all time, and a huge inspiration for my writing, as it perfectly captures the feelings, moods, and phases of the very end of the entire series.
It took me a while to realize it a few years ago when I bought that first Demon Hunter album, because I was still a bit new to liking actual metal (mostly, I was raised on the great classic rock like Led Zeppelin, the Who, Jimi Hendrix, etc.) but once I got used to it, I realized that I love, love, love, love, LOVE Demon Hunter's music. Especially this new one. Take a listen to the samples and see if you like them. If you do, I guarantee you will not get tired of this cd for a long, long time. If you ever do. I've been trying to make myself sick of it and have failed.
I would recommend Demon Hunter to anyone. Parents looking to turn their kids on to modern music that is lyrically thoughtful and mature will be pleased by Demon Hunter's complete lack of swearing or the typical lame and tired "Look! I sing about sex and drugs, that makes me cool!" attitude of so many artists today; they're not censored or prissy, they just don't need that because they're more focused on singing about life and offering haunting images and stories. Teenagers who get sick of all the cheery, inauthentic affirmation crap that usually comes with parent-friendly music will be delighted by Demon Hunter's darker streak--they're not afraid to face the grim, painful, lonely, even horrific side of life with brutal honesty, but they won't drag anyone down into depression by moaning about how that's all there is; it's clear they don't believe that. If what I've seen of them is any indication, they are not just a great band, they're truly decent people who would be good to hang out with.
And anyone who, like me, just wants metal, melody, and mayhem without a lot of the fake posturing some bands do, will find themselves very well pleased and gladly anticipating the next album.
