Demon Hunter: War and Peace

One of my favorite albums from one of my favorite bands Demon Hunter, is actually two separate albums called War and the other one was called Peace.

Now one of the first things I enjoyed about both albums was simply just the contrast in styles between the two. The War album is more of a heavy metalcore sound while the Peace album is shifted towards a more melodic sound to it.

Lets start with the War album shall we. There are 10 songs on the album with an 11th song that was added to the deluxe edition in Gunfight.

Although I enjoyed the entire album, I must confess that there are three songs that stand out to me in this album. They are On my side, Grey Matter and The Negative.

What I loved about On my side is simple, it makes me feel closer to God. Having faith through the Lord no amount of evil could bring harm to you. It reminded me of a verse from the Bible. As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for I know he is with me. This song brings me hope.

Next in line is the song Grey Matter. To me, it is a pretty straight forward song, the world is a lot more black and white than people are willing to admit. Understandably, no one is perfect, no matter how hard we all try, we fail. But lets be honest with ourselves, there is always a right way of doing things and a wrong way of doing things.

The final song that i really got to enjoy was The Negative. In my humble opinion, this song reflects how society is nowadays. I mean it seems that everyone just wants to focus on the negative of things. No pun intended. People rather be hateful to one another instead of loving each other. I truly do believe that God wants us to come together.

Which brings me to one of my favorite songs from the Peace album called Peace. Listening to how Ryan sings this song really moved me. Just hearing him say I pray for peace makes me feel like crying cause I really don’t want to see anybody go through anything terrible.

Forgive me, I’m really not trying to be depressing but I really do hope and pray for all of you guys for we are God’s children. God bless all of you.

Back to the music, I also loved listening to Fear is not my guide. Pretty much for the same reason as On my side. I will fail, I am a sinner, but I am not afraid. For it is the love of Christ that guides me.

Another good one is More than bones. It’s a very uplifting song to me because it made me feel that there was more to me than I could possibly imagine and I thank God for that.

But I must say my absolute favorite song from the Peace album is When the devil comes. It felt like a cry for help to God when the devil is around as if you were getting ready for a showdown with satan himself. I also loved the old west kinda sound to it mixed in with a little bit of heavy metal. Truly amazing!

Well there you have it guys and gals! Demon Hunter’s War and Peace albums are incredible and again I can not wait till their next album.
