With a Darren Craig (Slipknot, Rihanna) directed music video for their brand new single “Freedom Is Dead” having debuted online overnight, Christian alternative metal band Demon Hunter have now announced the details for their first-ever concept album “Exile“. That record was both produced and mixed by their own guitarist Jeremiah Scott and will meet a September 09th release through the band’s own Weapons MFG label.
An official press release shed some light on what you can expect from the concept, stating that it is “set in the aftermath of civilized society’s collapse, the 12 songs examine modern life through the lens of a nonconformist, contemplating a life untethered.”
A four-issue comic series penned by the band’s frontman Ryan Clark will help further flesh out that concept. Several guests will appear on “Exile” as well, including Soulfly, etc. vocalist/guitarist Max Cavalera, Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner and Evergrey vocalist/guitarist Tom S. Englund.
“Exile” track listing:
01 – “Defense Mechanism” (feat. Max Cavalera)
02 – “Master”
03 – “Silence The World” (feat. Tom S. Englund)
04 – “Heaven Don’t Cry”
05 – “Another Place”
06 – “Freedom Is Dead”
07 – “Praise The Void”
08 – “Revolutions”
09 – “Chemicals”
10 – “Godless” (feat. Richie Faulkner)
11 – “Devotion”
12 – “Along The Way”
A deluxe edition of the album will also feature several interludes composed by Randy Torres and the bonus tracks “Sleepwalker” and “Exile“. Pre-orders for the opus and more can be found via demonhunter.net.
