Atlanta show
I'd never seen them live before. I found them randomly in a store when storm the gates of hell was released. It was probably the last cd I bought because it looked cool at a store when it was new. I was Christian adjacent at the time, and the design got me. Such a great record, and honestly it changed my timeline.
Fast forward to 2026. I'll save a long ass story. They absolutely are one of the best bands of all time. Ryan Clark has such a charisma and voice. He has more confidence than prince, a fry scream that would tear a hole in Trent Reznor, and writes better ballads than every metal band. Everyone is the band is so cool, and talented.
Both guitar players are fantastic. The lead guitar player is exceptionally under rated. The bass player is perfect. He plays it so heavy sometimes, and it's just perfect. The drummer is an absolute machine. I mean, an absolute badass. I honestly could not believe all of the parts I was hearing played live. I know a lot about music production, live tracks, and triggering. This man is a monster at drums. Seriously. So impressed and happy!
They are everything I was attracted to about metal, punk rock, and Christianity in one package.
It takes balls to be demon hunter in this world. God bless them. What an amazing show!
My favorite part about the show tonight besides hearing Ryan talk about his mother and "I'm done" which I think is the best single they've ever released, was hearing Ryan say, that "they'll have to bury me before I stop releasing demon hunter records, here's to 12 more!"
If you love them, do yourself a favor and go see them.
