3rd Offering from a Great Band Feb 13, 2007
So basically, Demon Hunter's third album blew me away. The sound quality and effects of the album added to the raw talent of these guys to create a freaking awesome album! Aaron Sprinkle did a GREAT job in creating this album with the band, and the bonus tracks on the special edition are definetely worth it, as well as the behind the scenes stuff. It's great to see the band behind closed doors, and it gives you a better idea of why they make the music they do. If you don't own this album and want something to satiate your need for heavy guitars, growling vocals and thundering bass and drums, look no further!

Fully Satisfied. Dec 31, 2006
This is Demonhunter's third disc and by far the most mature sound they have yet to achieve. The first release was good, and hinted at something better. There second album, Summer of Darkness, was better with some great songs on it, but also contained some bland, unnecessary songs that ultimately held the album back. "The Triptych" brings to force Demonhunter's greatness while leaving behind and trimming away the unnecessary fat.
Demonhunter seems to have mastered the art of giving you brutality and beauty, often in the same song. This is what is seen throughout the disc. "Deteriorate" and "The Tide Began To Rise" give some introspective lyrics and a softer side. Songs like "Not I" "Soilder's Song" and "The Science of Lies" all bring together a stronger, brutal side. "One Thousand Apologies" seems to be the middle ground of the two, and feels more like a straight up rock song than anything else. Many of the songs contain both screaming and "clean" vocals.
This contrast approach to Metal works well for Demonhunter. The songs they write are catchy and extremely enjoyable. The cover song "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" is also a welcomed addition. If you enjoy bands such as Killswitch Engage, or Shadowsfall, this will certianly be a welcomed addition to your CDs. If, as a metal head, you can stomach a softer side (which enhances the power of the brutality) i can think of no other band that crafts songs with better contrasts. Stand out tracks: "The Flame That Guides Us Home/Not I" "Fire To My Soul" "The Science of Lies" "The Tide Began To Rise"
If you're looking for a band that intertwins beauty and brutality together, this album is by far the best one out there!

To "Jester God" Oct 22, 2006
First off dude, i feel that you understand that paradoxes exist, and in that i am glad. But i fear that you dont understand exactly what may be a paradox. For example, "Christian Metal" is not a paradox because technically metal does not constitute that singing of Christ and God are in any way against the rules of metal. They do not co-exist in opposite directions, thus proving that Christian Metal is not a paradox. An example of a true paradox is an omnipitant (all powerful) God becoming vulnerable and weak for the sake of man and saving man only through His death and utter humility and vulnerability. Another one is that God became a human. God is a being whom is not bound by the limits of time or anything else. Humans, though, ARE bound by time, space, and the flesh. So, by a being whom is boundless becoming a being that is bound is a paradox. Second off, what if i were to say, "the only good metal is metal that is about God." Wouldnt that be kinda arrogant? I love all metal, whether it speaks of God or not. But the point is, is that by excluding and judging bands on if they sing about God or not is a completely irrational decision that unnecessarily hurts yourself and others. For you are missing out on good talent and you are making judgments upon those whom you dont know and on something you probably know very very little about. In fact, most of the metal out there that doesnt talk about God talks about themselves and their own experiences. Is that not selfish? Are they not only making themselves idols for you to praise and even vainly worship (although, I do understand that that is not always the case)? But the second someone talks/sings about God,(someone OTHER than themselves) ye who shut off Christians all around are immediately offended and discard the talent and work of the band. Well anyway, im not angry, so you know, just wanted to clear a couple things up with you. The Triptych sounds good. I dont have any of their CD's yet, but they sound good. Live and Die for and like Christ.
