In a statement Demon Hunter says: “The last three years have been an absolute whirlwind. We’ve welcomed five (!) children into the Demon Hunter family, endured heartbreaking trials, and experienced joy beyond comprehension. ‘Outlive’ is a culmination of these peaks and valleys. It is a journey through adversity, survival, and overcoming the odds.
“They say the best stories are told by those who have lived a life worth commenting on, and we believe that our stories will resonate with each of you in some way.
“The relationship we share with you has always been uniquely special. You’ve come to expect a high level of quality from us and we intend to honor that promise. We’ve been working for months assembling every piece of the album and its presentation with dedicated attention to detail.
“The new album is scheduled for a spring 2017 release and we are going to make the journey from here to there as thrilling as possible. We are simply beyond excited to share every aspect of Demon Hunter‘s eighth chapter, ‘Outlive’, with all of you. Prepare yourselves and join us.”
