Demon Hunter, as seen on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball and in Revolver's "Christian Metal" cover story, have crafted their most elegantly melodic and yet blisteringly fast and thrashy album. The band's fourth record reunites them with producer Aaron Sprinkle (Jeremy Camp, Kutless, Hawk Nelson) and mixer Machine (Lamb Of God, Every Time I Die). The fans (or "Hunters" as they prefer) who have tattooed themselves with the band's iconic logo (a demon skull with a bullet hole through it's forehead) are joined in their anticipation by the metal masses at large. This is the hard rock album of 2007. Be warned!

Hunting demons| Posted March 03, 2008
Demon Hunter's 4th release, Storm the Gaes of Hell, is the 4th album of one of the best Christian Metal bands out there. The music is great and spiritual.

Demon Hunter keeps it coming with their fourth album and does not disappoint... staying true to their headbanging metal sound, they added some more of their own personality to this album with the use of piano in "Thorns" and the funeral scene portrayal in the new ballad "Carry Me Down". Some of the best Demon Hunter has to offer but, in my opinion, still not quite enough to beat out their third album, "The Triptych".
5 stars 4 sho!!!| Posted January 24, 2008

Demon Hunter's best release to date.| Posted December 14, 2007
Storm The Gates of Hell is truly a great album. Aggressive guitar work,relentless drums,and catchy, melodic choruses make this the most enjoyable metal I've heard, and Ryan Clark's vocals/lyrics are top notch once again.

...goes the CD. Pretty much all I listened to for 2 weeks. I can't stress how good this CD is. The only song that kinda feels out of place is the title song, but other than that, I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone with a metal mouth or lookin for something awesome.
My favorite tracks are: Lead Us Home, Thorns, Follow The Wolves, and Fiction Kingdom.
One of the best metal albums this year.| Posted November 12, 2007
Simply put this album is Demon Hunter's best album yet and one of the best this year in the metal genre. Never before has Demon Hunter played with such agression and brutality. This is evident from the start as the title track kicks of the album, and what a start it is, the first song is a thrash metal masterpiece only lacking a good guitar solo but succeding on every other account. This is followed by "lead us home" a track that again incorparates the new found agression of Demon Hunter yet still retaining their trademark melodic quality.
The other ten songs follow suit, everything has been stepped up, the guitars are more crunchy, loud and angressive and the drumbeats are ferocious as Yogi pounds away loudly. If you've never liked Demon Hunter before this new found agression may win you over and if your a long time fan you will still be pleased with some of the melodic elements that are still present. If the only thing that was keeping you from liking this band is lack of variety then you might have something to look forward to as well as the album switches from thrash metal to hard rock or even nu-metal at times (check out the symphonic elements of "sixteen" or the ambient keyboards in "Thorns" but still retains a cohesive heavy metal feel throughout.
The album is better then previous efforts on the lyrical front too, Ryan Clark calls for action with clever songwriting that is devoid of any cliches.
So after reading this long winded review, all you neeed to know is this album is worth a try wether your a fan of the band or not.
