Demon Hunter: Live In Nashville
| After releasing Storm The Gates of Hell, Solid State records veterans Demon Hunter embarked on the Stronger than Hell Tour. I had a chance to see this show in June of last year(also on the tour were bands Living Sacrifice, Oh Sleeper, The Advent, and The Famine) and it was amazing. Shortly after this show, at the Rocketown venue in Nashville, DH recorded theie first live album, Live from Nashville. Leading up to the release of this album, the band also released 45 Days, a video documentary of their life on the road. But Live is the culmination of those “45 days”. And it is an excellent addition to the DH discography. The biggest concern that usually accompanies live albums is sound quality and audio mix. Such is not the case with this album. I honestly have never heard a live album with the sound quality that is present on this album. The songs that are in the set span Demon Hunter’s releases, from Infected and My Heartstrings Come Undone to Carry Me Down and Fading Away. I have two issues with this album though. First, you can’t hear the crowd to well when they are the only ones singing(Ryan throws the vocals to them several times) and second, Clark growls the titles of several songs at the very beginning, which gets kind of annoying after a couple of songs.
All in all, Live From Nashville is a worthy competitor to any live album that you might hear. Check it out and see what you think
