Watch a new studio video blog from Demon Hunter, the band starts tracking guitars, bass, and vocals for their sixth full-length album, True Defiance. Then, the re-amping process begins. The video can be seen below.
Pre-order options are also available now for the album at Merch Direct! There you can get both the Standard or Deluxe Edition of the album, with options to be bundled with a T-shirt, Demon Hunter stencil and 27″x27″ poster. Or pre-order the album at the Demon Hunter Store with a long-sleeved shirt or glass candle.
True Defiance is produced by Aaron Sprinkle [Anberlin, Emery] and mixed by Jason Suecoff [All That Remains, Trivium], True Defiance finds Demon Hunter continuing in their hard rock evolution while embracing the components that have always formed the backbone of their music: true metal, dark rock and balladry.
True Defiance marks Demon Hunter‘s first outing since 2010’s “The World Is A Thorn”, which debuted in the Billboard Top 40 and was hailed as the heaviest, fastest, and most aggressive record of the band’s career. The album yielded hit videos in “Collapsing”, which has racked up 1 million views online, and “LifeWar”, which was viewed over 100,000 times in the past month. “The World Is A Thorn” was preceded by “Storm The Gates Of Hell” (2007), “The Triptych” (2005), “Summer of Darkness”(2004), “Demon Hunter” (2002), and the three-disc CD/DVD set “45 Days”, which collectively sold half a million copies and garnered airplay on college and specialty radio, Fuse and MTV2‘s “Headbangers Ball” and earned the band cover features in publications like Revolver and HM.
Following the release of their sixth full-length album “True Defiance” on April 10th, Demon Hunter will go on a European headline tour in April/May for six shows only, including Germany, Finland, Switzerland, Belgium and England.
