2023 limited edition re-release of the self-titled debut release from Demon Hunter.Density is a big part of what Demon Hunter does on this self-titled debut album; when the alterna tive metal band is in the mood for maximum brutality, it pummels the listener with a dense, noisy, highly abrasive metal/punk assault. But harshness is only part of what Demon Hunter does on this CD. While some alterna-metal bands like to be punishing 100 percent of the time, Demon Hunter's debut is an album of contrasts — an album in which moments of intense brutality are followed by hauntingly melodic passages. One minute, Demon Hunter is mercilessly beating listeners into submission; the next minute, it provides some breathing room and shows how thoughtful its melodies can be. And these two sides of Demon Hunter usually have a way of complimenting one another — more often than not, the band successfully pulls off this melody/brutality juxtaposition. That isn't to say that the CD is perfect; some of the songs are stronger than others, and one gets the impression that Demon Hunter's best albums are yet to come. Even so, the band's recording career is off to an interesting, if imperfect, start with this self-titled debut. - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide CD Details Release Date: 2023 (original release October 22, 2002) Record Label: Solid State Records UPC: 810488020168 Number of Discs: 1 Listen Before You Buy Screams of the Undead I Have Seen Where It Grows Infected My Throat Is an Open Grave Through the Black Turn Your Back and Run And the Sky Went Red As We Wept A Broken Upper Hand The Gauntlet Show more
