Album Of The Day: Summer Of Darkness by Demon Hunter

Album Art of Demon Hunter's Summer Of Darkness album - On a black background, a white skull of what looks like an animal with large curved horns coming out of the top of each side of the head, the left one curving a bit lower than the right one. The skill is cut in half down the middle vertically, and has a large hole in the forehead area between the eyes. The skill is sitting on a pile of dark gray roses, so maybe it's a black-and-white photo.

Sometimes it's fun to listen to some screaming, yelling and heavy guitars. Released 21 years ago yesterday, this is the second album from long-time metal band Demon Hunter and is the first album of theirs I ever heard. For most of it, vocalist Ryan Clark is screaming about dark-sounding topics, but still doing it with some hope and purpose to the music. "Not Ready To Die" is a great album opener and "My Heartstrings Come Undone" finds Clark singing a bit more in a slower ballad. It's the Demon Hunter album I've listened to the most and I think my favorite album of theirs overall. It's certainly not the type of music I listen to very often, but their brand of metal is fun to listen to at full volume from time to time. Ryan Clark does Graphic Design with his brother Don Clark for many musical releases and other projects as his main job, though Demon Hunter is certainly a side job that keeps him busy. And I love their creative album artwork on all their albums.
