Demon Hunter is a christian hardcore / metalcore band from Seattle, Washington.Started up by brothers Don and Ryan Clark.Demon Hunter has many musical influences including Pantera, Sepultura, Machine Head, Living Sacrifice and more.
At first the members of the band chose to hide their identities, creating some controversy over the band. However, their names were later revealed when they undertook their first tour. this was not a to parody mainstream metal as alot of people believe. but to make it that you fell in love with the music.. the band and not the people in the band, they wanted you to not become biased to the musicians. but to love the music.
The Demon Hunter logo is a goat head with a bullet hole in the middle. This is a play-off the popular "anti-Christian" bands, as the goat head is often associated with Satan and demons, mainly Baphomet (a demon with a goat head).
Their second album, Summer of Darkness, was released on the 4th of May, 2004. In July 2005, they recorded their third album, The Triptych, which was released October 25, 2005. On this album Ethan Luck (The O.C. Supertones, The Dingees) joined as lead guitarist.
Singer Ryan Clark and guitar player Don Clark are brothers and work together at their graphic design firm, Invisible Creature.
On November 4th, 2007 Demon Hunter released their 4th studio album, Storm The Gates of Hell, which became one of their most aggressive sounds ever. They also released the Live In Nashville CD which was recorded during the Storm The Gates Of Hell tour in early 2008. It released later that year. Also in 2008 came the 45 Days documentary which gave a behind the scenes look at the guys of Demon Hunter.
In late 2009, Don Clark announced that he was splitting from the band due to increasing priorities with both his home life, and his constant workload with the design firm that he and Ryan Clark continue to undertake together.
On March 9, 2010 the bands 5th studio album, The World Is A Thorn, hit shelves.
The album is described by the band as their "heaviest but most melodic" album yet. It also introduces new guitarists Patrick Judge and Ryan Helm. And new collaborations with artists like Christian Älvestam (ex- Scar Symmetry), Bjorn "Speed" Strid (Soilwork), and Dave Peters (Throwdown). The single "collapsing" from the new album has gained widespread recognition and has added to the "heavyness" of the bands new avatar and lineup.
