Demon Hunter has released reworked versions of ‘I Will Fail You’ and ‘Dead Flowers’ from its forthcoming album, “Songs Of Death And Resurrection”, a mostly acoustic and stripped-down effort, due March 5 via Solid State Records.

“Songs Of Death And Resurrection” features 11 new “Resurrected” versions of classic Demon Hunter songs from across the band’s ten studio albums, including fan favorites such as ‘I Am A Stone‘, ‘I Will Fail You‘, ‘Carry Me Down’ and ‘The Heart Of A Graveyard‘, plus a brand new composition, ‘Praise The Void‘. Marking an entirely new approach for Demon Hunter, “Songs Of Death And Resurrection” finds the band using lush string arrangements, haunting piano, and layered vocal harmonies.

Ryan Clark (vocals) had this to say about ‘I Will Fail You (Resurrected)‘: “The original album version of ‘I Will Fail You’ is one of our doomiest ballads. At the time, I found myself immersed in the bleak heaviness of bands like Omnium Gatherum, Swallow The Sun and Katatonia. I’m naturally drawn to that place where heavy and sad collide.

Demon Hunter has released the official music video for the song ‘Cut To Fit’. The track is taken from the band’s latest album “War”, which was made available alongside a companion LP, “Peace”, in March 2019. The video is produced by Jeremiah Scott, mixed by Zeuss & directed, filmed, and edited by Andy Maier.

Frontman Ryan Clark told Full Metal Jackie‘s nationally syndicated radio show that releasing two separate albums “with the polarized styles” that Demon Hunter is known for — “heavy and the super-melodic ‘ballad’-style songs” — is something he and his bandmates have “talked about doing for a long time.” He explained: “We didn’t want to do it too early in our career just because it felt like a lofty sort of endeavor. So we didn’t want to get carried away too early. So now kind of rounding out our albums at No. 9 and No. 10, seems like a really good time to do it.”
