Demon Hunter Digitally Release “The Brink

Posted by caemanamelio on

Demon Hunter have digitally released their song “The Brink.“ The track, which was previously available through the band’s fan club, was recorded during the “Exile“ sessions.

Ryan Clark commented:

“The ‘Exile‘ recording session left us with a number of extra songs, which is not very common for us. Usually we narrow the funnel before we commit to recording—in order to keep things focused and as speedy as possible.

For this record, there were a number of songs that we really wanted to include, but it really came down to what fit—not just time-wise, but also thematically.

‘The Brink‘ is definitely a different one for us, but I absolutely love how it came out. We discussed doing this one as a piano ballad or stripped-down acoustic number, but I demoed it as an 80s-esque electronic tune, and we were really loving that vibe too much to mess with it.

There is a feeling of anxiety in the main key pattern, which is deliberate. We wanted it to feel like that moment in a movie when things start to intensify and you’re not sure how it’s going to shake out. I think the score to Interstellar was a big inspiration for this song in general. If you’re familiar with that score, you may hear it.”

“’EXILE’: OCT 28. Due to ongoing supply chain issues and production delays (including CDs & comics), we made the difficult decision to push back the street date, THE GOOD NEWS is that now, every format, including vinyl, is scheduled to arrive the same day. We want to make this album as special as possible. The TWENTY YEARS IN EXILE TOUR begins Sept 09. We will perform songs from EACH of our 11 albums, including ‘EXILE!’ Get tickets, VIP packages, and preorder ‘Exile’: DemonHunter.net“

Demon Hunter Premiere New Song “Silence The World” Featuring Evergrey’s Tom S. Englund

Posted by caemanamelio on

Demon Hunter have premiered a new song titled “Silence The World.” This track features Evergrey’s Tom S. Englund and it will appear on the band’s new album “Exile,” which is set to be released on September 9.

Ryan Clark commented:

“Even when it seems people have pinpointed things like social media as destructive, the concept of abstaining from it is quickly excused away. I often dream of a future of revolt. It may be naïve to think it could happen, but I believe a mass exodus from social media could change nearly everything for the better.”

He also added the following about working with Englund:

“We listened to Evergrey’s ‘Monday Morning Apocalypse’ on tour. We all quickly fell in love with the band, and Tom’s voice in particular. As ‘Silence the World’ began to take shape, we knew this was the song we’d love to hear him on. Ordinarily, I’ll ask a contributing guest to sing a verse and perhaps a few other small pieces. In this instance, I really wanted Tom to sing the chorus as well. Not only was it more in his range than mine, but the line ‘pull me from out of the tide’ is a small wink to Evergrey’s The Atlantic, which is one of my favorite metal records of all time.”
