Thank you!
🤘🤘
Thank you! Super fun show!
God bless you guys. You changed my life and brought me closer to God and made my life easier to live
I love how my older brother went to concert and showed me the videos and then that’s when I started listening 4:08
Demon Hunter… my long time favorite. Just doesn’t get much better.
I've been a fan since Summer of Darkness and then really became addicted when I heard The Tripych. Can't wait to hear the new record
Same. I’ve been a fan since I saw Not Ready to Die on MTV in high school.
A fan since the debut and the album that I listened most to was The World Is A Thorn. For several reasons. One for the collab with Björn from soilwork and i think that album hit a higher gear compared to the other ones. So fuing heavy! The production, lyrics, the band sounds epic and no filler whatsoever. A fantastic album! They evolved big time after that one and I listened to it for month. It had/has so many layers. To this day I can find textures in the background that makes a song refreshingly smashing again. Demon Hunter have always been ahead of the time.
Those two albums are sooo solid. Their self titled record is also amazing. They remain some of my go to albums when I’m needing some type of of pick me up or when I need to slow down and get in my feels.
Zao, Extol, Living Sacrifice, Believer, Training For Utopia would be my five top Christian extreme metal bands.
Love to see the Living Sacrifice love in these comments! One of the greatest of all-time, Christian or otherwise! They are painfully underappreciated/underrated for sure!
DH is one of the more refreshing heavy bands in terms of sound and lyrical content. Truly dynamic and artful. Ryan is a real inspiration, I got to briefly meet him during the True Defiance tour. Thanks for this interview.
Living Sacrifice's 'Reborn' album is one of the best metallic hardcore albums of all time, Christian informed or not.
Love that album. Embodyment’s ‘Embrace the Eternal’ is another sick album from that era.
I fucking love Living Sacrifice. Reborn and Conceived In Fire are amazing.
How about Circle of Dust? :D
Reborn & The Hammering Process still punishes today.
LS' Hammering Process is an unmatched classic
Ryan is one of the greatest emotive/melodic singers in the game. Demon Hunter is fire!
I really respect him. He just appears to have pitch issues at live shows sometimes.
@@undericesingeras do 90 percent of singers, very few people have perfect pitch.
@@Keith-thegoodfight While I agree, I sing and play music as well. It seems to come up in live concert more than a handful of times. I love his voice, but I am being objective. I saw them live with a short set at Blue Ridge. His screams sounded different live, but his performance was very good.
@@undericesinger well I didn’t bring up subjectivity or objectively, but no you being a subject giving your opinion about another subject and his voice is the very definition of subjective. If you had ever recorded a album in a studio you would understand why his screams and voice sound different live. Once again, the vast majority of all bands do not sound the same live as they do after recording in a studio. No reason to point it out when a artist is being complimented. It’s unnecessary
@@Keith-thegoodfight No, you are being defensive. I have seen many live bands. I have recorded and played live for many years. You can look up multiple videos from 10-11 years ago shot by fans with no pitch correction where he is flat live. Now, he's improved on that. I love him as a person and a vocalist that I'm not going to sugar coat it. When someone is flat in pitch, it's an objective truth. You can love an artist and be honest.
Ryan Clark is a very underrated and versatile vocalist
Love love love Demon Hunter. Hard to believe it’s been twenty years now
Now I can only imagine Demon Hunter doing a cover of some Mortification's song.
Oh, and of course, #ComeToBrazil :D
Great interview! not that I am in any position/status to say this but I will say thank you Revolver For given the Christian/Christian Metal community positive and respectful spotlight! Love to you all!
I love nu-metal! Koяn is my favorite. Their music has helped me through many dark times.
As a Christian, Ryan is a huge inspiration for me; his music with Demon Hunter and Focal Point helped me with so much garbage I dealt with as a kid. And to hear him love Mortification, Living Sacrifice etc is soooo cool yewwww
Edit: I'm the guy who asked him about what he was listening to!
Demon Hunter fan since 2004. Love this band dearly. Thanks you for the interview!
My top 5 all-time heavy Christian bands are Living Sacrifice, Demon Hunter, Impending Doom, The Showdown, Blessed By A Broken Heart(scratches that 80s hair metal itch). Going to see Demon Hunter in Dallas in September. Got my Vinyl pre-order of their new record Exile. Life is good!
Blessed By a Broken Heart needs to come back! Tony and Tyler and the guys throw on an incredible live show!
Great Interview 🙂
Love Demon Hunters arrangements in their music. They have all the metal/metalcore/hardcore elements metalheads like
I've always been a big fan of Ryan's vocals; it shows his versatility. Keep rockin guys hope to see you on tour.
I listen to Demon Hunter since I was 16, this year I turn 33 ❤️ Myan God bless you
I would say DH should cover a Korn song but that might… not… work 🤘😆
Sure it would...even if it doesn't fit their overall style, who cares? They are paying respect to artists who made them the musicians who they are.
I’ve been riding with Ryan since his band Training for Utopia released ‘The Falling Cycle’ (check it out if you haven’t yet). Super impressed with how he continues to release solid music to this day. 🤘🏼
Yes TFU!
Great interview! Watching it for my 2nd time tonight!
I love Korn… don’t care what anyone says. It’s solid and no one sounds like them
Trust me, Josh. Korn might have their haters but there is many more people out there who like them than don't and those people who don't like them odds are good they listen to bands who were inspired by them!
They’re hit or miss for me but I don’t get the hate they get
@@py16667 They created the nu metal genre, they are the godfathers and without them bands like SlipKnot, Mudvayne, Limp Bizkit, Staind, Suicide Silence, Evanescence, etc wouldn't exist that's why they get hate because people hate those bands and that sound that Korn created! Also, they changed the sound of the guitar in rock/metal music with the drop down tuning and 7 string guitars, so fans of 80s rock blame them for killing 80s metal which is not true at all!
They created a movement but not anymore.. First 4 albums, especially first two are game changer. It was incredible to be 16 years old and experience that time. I fought against all heavy metal purist and now from this perspective they see it differently.
@@marcopelaezfernandez4573 Their latest 4 albums are four of the best albums throughout their whole career IDC what anyone says!
I love how Ryan uses the word legalistic in his description of the church. Being a seasoned Christian, you’re almost drawn to seeking out the meaning of that word. It’s almost a stage in a Christian’s life where you level up.
Ever since infected dropped ive been a huge fan of demon hunter. Keep going strong guys.
Great interview. It's so true about Korn. I remember as a little Christian teenager being so wowed by their sound and drawn to their raw, visceral energy. It was bad of course so I couldn't listen to everything.... but yeah, Ryan, I think you're right too! You guys are still in your prime, and yeah, you guys keep getting better (although I'd argue you guys have always been at a really high peak -- I'm going back and appreciating your earlier stuff like Triptych... so good...)... Definitely defying the odds. I always wondered why you guys didn't tour more, but now it all makes sense. God's definitely got a plan through all of it, and I'm glad you guys are still kickin' it. Can't wait for the album drop! \__/ \__/
My top 5:
Zao, Living Sacrifice,Extol, Luti-Kriss (Norma Jean) and Embodyment
Agreed. Korn was something unlike we've ever seen. Korn and defotnes came to AZ and it was a completely different animal. Blind and Engine no 9 were formative to me. I didn't wear the DH patch in Iraq cause that wasn't allowed during my three tours but I listened to DH every day!
Love demon hunter for like 18 yrs now
Awesome
I totally agree with the albums that changes the music ways
Korn were the band who inspired me to start playing guitar back in the late 90s! I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when the inspiration hit me. I was listening to their song Got The Life, and it was that lead guitar part that Brian plays during the intro/chorus part, those octave chords he plays, that was the moment in time I decided I wouldn't look back and I decided to buy my first guitar!
Now that it was mentioned I can totally hear the HIM influences.
H-I-M! Loved hearing this inclusion (and Bruce Fitzhugh's head on Mt. Rushmore (the backside of this Rock Mount Rushmore, of course, has to have Neil, Alex, and Geddy on the backside). So cool to hear Ryan's self-deprecating honesty and approach to his history and output. Can't wait for the new album. I loved having the Living Sacrifice guys over to the HM Magazine offices back when Reborn was just releasing. It was a cool honor to have them in the Heaven's Metal Video Magazine, Volume 5. th-cam.com/video/3gDrjuxuL7Y/w-d-xo.html
A very extreme Christian metal band everyone should check out is Miseration (one of Christian Alvestam's projects). Just a side note. Love Demon Hunter. Ryan is awesome. ✝️ 🤘
Demon Hunter is criminally underrated along with “He is Legend”
I would love to hear an album of demon Hunter and brian Welch
From what I've heard I think exile will be the best
My awakening was when I saw the beautiful people by marylin Manson
Marilyn Manson* :) Yeah, that's a great song!
I can't make out the name of the fourth person/band that Ryan Clark names as part of his musical Mount Rushmore. Can anyone help me?
Ville Valo
@@trevans13 Thank you!
Sacred warrior was pretty legit.
I can appreciate the Cookie Monster Growling Metal in moderation. Demon Hunter is well balanced vocally😂
🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙌🙏🙏🤘🇵🇦🇵🇦
Lmao why did she change her language at 31:00:00? While I’m sure she didn’t want to offend him, dude plays in a metal band and has toured the world with different bands with different beliefs. The word “shit” is a non-issue. But definitely props for being aware. I just find it amusing.
She said the word later. Being (possibly) nonChristian; she probably was just being respectful. Some Christians don’t cuss and avoid hearing it at all costs and others….
