Demon Hunter
45 Days
Demon Hunter usually takes the road less traveled. Whether it be using pseudonyms on their debut album, the dark and extensive photography layout for The Summer Of Darkness, creating three different album covers for The Triptych, or producing a Deluxe Fan Edition of Storm The Gates Of Hell packed full of goodies, the band usually outdoes themselves. 45 Days continues this tradition. The group stumbled upon up-and-coming filmmaker Cale Glendening, whom they enlisted to follow their every move during this past summer’s tour. Shot in black and white, Glendening’s vision is innovative, remarkable, and chock full of footage. From fan stories of a mother turning her kids on to Demon Hunter, to a soldier in Afghanistan finding encouragement through the band in a time of war, to the untimely deaths of dedicated fans, the DVD is nearly more about the fans than the band. The second DVD features a full color, professionally shot live show from Nashville. The performance is spot-on, Ryan Clark’s melodic vocals shining here better than they have on pre-existing live footage. The film’s score is included as a separate CD where the band gets to show their little known influences like Johnny Cash, Radiohead, and various piano and synth driven elements. It also features an acoustic version of “Fading Away” and a piano adaptation of “Carry Me Down.” For the price of a regular album, this package is a steal. [Solid State] Chad Olson
