Demon Hunter 'Extremist' Album Releases March 18 Following Radio Success of Debut Single, 'Artificial Light' (VIDEO)

DEMON HUNTER is set to release their new album Extremist March 18. The band who's albums have inspired real dedication in heavy music will deliver a new album full of their most moving anthems to date on the label Solid State.

Vocalist, main songwriter, and band co-founder Ryan Clark stated: "In seven albums, none of us have ever been this proud of what we created. It feels like we channeled DEMON HUNTER from 2018. Fans that have grown with us will absolutely love the record."

More than 50 radio stations have added the album's first single "Artificial Light" to rock radio. The single has the most added at CMJ Loud Rock. The Christian Rock single "Last One Alive" was the most added single this week as longtime fans raced to YouTube to watch the lyric videos.

Both singles hit No. 1 on the iTunes Metal Chart including one other song "I will Fail You" as the band's supporters snapped up digital and physical album pre-order bundles.

Fans can pre-order the album at iTunes and at the Solid State Store where folks can pick up the deluxe edition and merchandise.

The album features Clark (vocals) alongside longtime members Patrick Judge (lead guitar since 2009), Jonathan Dunn (bass since 2002), Tim "Yogi" Watts (drums since 2004) and Jeremiah Scott (rhythm guitar since 2011), who brought his producer talents to the table as well. Longtime producer Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin) was still involved, but Scott took on the majority of the production work. DEMON HUNTER continued their tradition of working with top mixers from the rock/metal worlds (Machine, Jason Suecoff, etc.) by hiring Zeuss, whose production/mixing credits include Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, Municipal Waste and Crowbar.

Not only does Extremist cultivate into new sonic territories for the band, but also it stretches DEMON HUNTER technically, as anyone familiar with the groups renowned catalog can attest.

The album boasts the thumping metal and melodic balladry that fans have come to expect. Songs like "I Will Fail You," "Hell Don't Need Me" and "Gasoline" explore the spaces in between, resulting in a new creative base for the band.

One of the biggest faith-centered bands in the history of metal, DEMON HUNTER has built an extremely dedicated following in the Christian music world and the general market alike.
