    Fell in love with this band the moment I picked up their cd at a Christian bookstore in AZ. Turned it over and saw the picture of the guys and thought this is gonna be epic. It was. Even have a big old DH tattoo on my arm. Saw them live at Cornerstone and saw Living Sacrifice the same weekend at Cornerstone. Doesn’t get much betta than that!

    Demon Hunter has always been an amazing band. When I heard summer of darkness around 2004 when I was in middle school I was completely blown away. Super heavy and very musical at the same time. They follow up a song like beheaded with heart string come undone.. 🤯🤯🤯 Its great stuff

    i did order demon Hunter's exile cd
    through barnes & noble, just waiting for it to get here that's all. as soon as it gets here I'm going to blast it, well of course I got to wear my headphones. I don't want my neighbors to complain about the loud music. even though I live in apartment complex building, I still got to have respect for them.
