01 – How or where did the idea of launching 2 albums at one time come and what were the “complications” that this brought to the planning of the band?
We’ve been sitting on the concept of two simultaneous and stylistically-polarized albums for quite a while actually. We knew that it would be a pretty huge undertaking, so we had to wait for the right time to do it. With the songwriting help that I now get from Patrick, fleshing out the sheer volume of songs needed was finally more of a reality. Plus, rounding out albums 9 and 10 at the same time felt like the perfect opportunity to make this idea happen. Continue reading »
NYVES (pronounced Knives) is the electronic project by Ryan Clark, the vocalist in Demon Hunter, and Randy Torres, formerly of Project 86. It was launched as a Kickstarter side project where they asked for $50,000 in order to fund their debut full-length album, ‘Anxiety’. It was to be a massive success with 2,104 backers pledging $82,702 to help bring this project to life.
Ryan Clark stated “As a designer, having created the aesthetic surrounding Demon Hunter, as well as dozens of other bands, I’ve always been enthralled with the visual identity behind a music project. With NYVES, I want to create a visual language that transcends the average. As a collector myself, with an appreciation for fully-realized artistic expression, I would love the opportunity to bring NYVES to life with a bang — offering multiple physical formats of the record itself, as well as shirts, posters, and other items that further expand the world of NYVES.”

Nyves—the fledgling electronic music project from Demon Hunter vocalist Ryan Clark and Randy Torres (ex-Project 86)— after their kickstarter goal was reached, it is now time to stretch goals, read more in the update below:
Hey everyone,
Now that the campaign is funded, the Nyves album is definitely going to happen! We’re planning on a total of 11 songs – plus a bonus song for the special edition CD that is only available during this campaign on Kickstarter. We’re really excited about the response to Nyves so far, but have a lot of very ambitious goals for the project.
That’s why we’ve set up stretch goals to help us get the music into the ears of as many people as possible. Our immediate goal is to meet our first stretch goal of $60,000 so that we’re able to make a high-quality music video for the album – and we’re almost half of the way there! Every single contribution from now until the end of campaign will go towards our stretch goals and help us out tremendously. Continue reading »
