DemonHunter

Demon Hunter bassist Jon Dunn is informed and intense when it comes to the gridiron. Noisecreep asked Dunn for his Super Bowl predictions -- and boy, did we get 'em. Dunn was detailed and impassioned about his opinion that the Packers and Steelers will make it to Texas in early February...

Strained relationships are a traditional premise when it comes time for metal band to write their lyrics, and there's no relationship that can affect someone's psychology more than the one we have with our parents. Leroy Hamp, vocalist for Erie Pa's War of Ages uses the relationship he had with his father to his advantage...

At first glance, the video for 'Collapse' from War of Ages might seem incredibly no-frills, as it shows the band in performance mode, rocking out with a god-fearing vengeance to the first song on their new album, 'Eternal,' which is out now via Facedown Records...

Facedown Records is one the preeminent names in the Christian metal scene, so Noisecreep decided to talk to founder Jason Dunn about the label's philosophies, key releases over the years, swimming with sharks -- which isn't a metaphor for the music industry feeding frenzy -- and why the annual Facedown Fest was canceled this year...

Leroy Hamp, lead screamer for the Erie, Pa. metalcore act War of Ages, is a bestial war animal on stage. But in person, he is as mild-mannered and considerate as could be. His personality, he said, has always been this way, but it unfortunately has lead him into serious trouble...

There were a ton of metal releases that hit the shelves last week, but the biggest success story for metal is Demon Hunter's 'The World is a Thorn,' which sold over 14,000 copies its debut week in stores.

Many bands that have sprung from the bosom of the Christian metal and hardcore scene often backtrack and downplay their categorization as a Christian band and their association with the scene in order to not alienate a secular audience. But not Demon Hunter...

Ryan Clark, vocalist extraordinaire of Demon Hunter, whose fifth opus, 'The WorldIs a Thorn,' is due out via Solid State on March 9, has also served as the art director at Solid State/Tooth and Nail for the past 10 years. Solid State has released all of Demon Hunter's records...

I've been a Demon Hunter fan since their self-titled debut impacted my world in 2002. Yet I've only seen them once, at New York City's Knitting Factory back in 2003, I believe. That's because they never tour the East Coast, which is frustrating for fans out this way...

Congrats to High on Fire, whose 'Snakes for the Divine' sold nearly 10,000 copies its first week on shelves. That's nearly double what their last album sold in its first week, and this is their fifth studio album. It's incredible to see the band having forward progress deep into their career and reversing a trend...
