Demon Hunter‘s latest album “Exile” is their twelfth studio album, released through their self-founded record label, Weapons MFG, and the band’s first concept album. It was announced for release in September 9, 2022, then delayed to October 28, 2022, due to supply chain issues.
Six singles were released ahead of the album, including ‘Silence the World’, ‘Defense Mechanism’, and ‘Godless’, featuring vocals from Tom S. Englund (Evergrey) and Max Cavalera (ex-Sepultura, Soulfly), and a guitar solo by Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest) respectively. It marks Faulkner‘s first studio recording since suffering an aortic rupture and dissection and subsequent 10-hour surgery. This album also features a new recording of the song ‘Praise the Void’, previously released in Demon Hunter‘s acoustic album “Songs of Death and Resurrection” a year prior.
Demon Hunter started writing a follow-up album to “Exile” as early as October in 2022, shortly before their new album’s release. The album sold 6,400 copies in its first week, debuting at No. 200 on the Billboard 200, No. 1 of Top Christian Albums, No. 3 of Top Hard Rock Albums, No. 3 of Top Independent Albums, No. 4 of Top Rock Albums and No. 9 of Top Albums Sales.
