Demon Hunter is a Seattle based metalcore band which first received wide notice in 2002 with the release of their self-titled album on Solid State Records.
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 an attempt to parody mainstream metal, as many people believe, but to make it so that you fell in love with the music - the band and not the people in the band. They didn’t want people to be biased toward the band members.
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.
