Demon Hunter
Band Seattle United States Formed 2000 US Christian metal band
Demon Hunter formed in 2000 in Seattle, United States. Demon Hunter has 4 chart appearances on 4 radio countdowns from 4 stations on RockLists, spanning 2002–2017. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “The Last One Alive”, which appears on 1 list with a best position of #13. The station that charted Demon Hunter most often is SiriusXM Octane (National (SiriusXM satellite radio)), with 1 appearance. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2014.
Demon Hunter came out of Seattle in 2000, started by brothers Ryan and Don Clark, and from the first they were one of the heavier things Christian metal had going. Ryan has fronted the band from the start, first on guitar and vocals and then as its singer, while Don moved from bass to guitar before leaving in 2009, which left Ryan as the only original member. Jonathan Dunn has held down the bass since 2002 and Timothy Watts the drums since 2004.
Their self-titled debut, on Solid State Records in 2002, set out the template with "I Have Seen Where It Grows": thick, grooving riffs, a hardcore scream and a sung chorus that opens up like a cathedral. By Extremist in 2014 they had sanded it into something more controlled and more melodic without losing the heft. "The Last One Alive" is the album's big, brooding centerpiece, the scream giving way to a surge of clean vocals and the riffs locking into a mid-tempo march.
Over the years they have sold more than 600,000 albums, and they are still at it.
