This band just make a revolution for the old metal that I got bored. Now I listen so many bands.
This is the greatest band and ALL THAT REMAINS rules as well
This band makes some of the best melodies I’ve ever heard. Not only do they have the impressive technical skill and the heaviness and intensity, but they are creative geniuses when it comes to composing music and putting emotion into it.
The Top Ten
Demon Hunter
Demon Hunter is an American Christian metal band from Seattle, Washington, started in 2000 by brothers Don Clark and Ryan Clark. Although the brothers created the band together, only Ryan remains, since Don left the band to take care of his family.
Sometimes their songs don t make sense at first. But I looked up the meaning of the words (and some Bible searching), and there is a TON of really deep theology in their songs! It blew me away, and helped deepen my faith! Plus, Ryan Clark has a REALLY nice voice and can scream understandable words! Really love this band!
