celebrating the anniversary of DEMON HUNTER's True Defiance

Wikipedia and Amazon Music show April 10 as the release date for the sixth studio album by DEMON HUNTER (2000–present). The general consensus is that this is one of their most high-energy metal albums; it's as if the band wanted to get down to the business of metal music and focused entirely on that energy. The next thing you know, they had an album that turned out awesome. Wikipedia mentions that some critics were upset with the band's faith-based lyrics and outlook on life, and it looks like some of them gave the album vindictively low scores. Whatever. It's their loss! I like the album, and it sounds like DEMON HUNTER to me. Here is the music video for the song "My Destiny" from the album.

Wikipedia has the following quote by vocalist Ryan Clark:

"This record is without a doubt our most aggressive. Every Demon Hunter record must be a step up from the last. I know that's a goal for every band, but it seldom works that way - especially today, especially in metal. It seems like most band's prime years are long behind them. I refuse to let that be the case for us. We've been extremely underwhelmed with metal for the last five years or so, and that's been the fuel to create this record. With an extreme over-saturation of false, fleeting, trend-hopping noise in today's metal scene, we had to make something we've been longing to hear. Something truly meaningful and artistic. Something our fans would love and something that will turn the heads of those who have ignored us for the past decade." (Ryan Clark, Main Vocalist on the band's direction with True Defiance.)
