Peace is the tenth studio album by American Christian metal band Demon Hunter. The album, together with War, was released by Solid State Records on March 1, 2019.[6] The album has a softer style compared to War, being more melodic and rock-influenced. The band released multiple singles before the album was released. Loudwire named both albums together as one of the 50 best metal albums of 2019.[7]
Musical style
[edit]Lead singer Ryan Clark indicated that each of the two albums (War and Peace) are "devoted to their contrasting musical styles - heavy and melodic."[8]
Both albums were professionally reviewed in the Jesus Freak Hideout website. In the Peace review, reviewer Wayne Myatt said that even though the album is not of the band's best, "it is a good album that should please most Demon Hunter and hard rock fans."[5]
