The band offer up a pair of solid, guitarmony-laden roof-raisers early on with \"Artificial Light\" and \"The Last One Alive,\" both of which strike a nice balance between piston-pumping brutality and crisp, radio-ready sheen, but it's the relentless, hyper-kinetic \"Cross to Bear,\" with its Gatling gun verses and seemingly endless volley of breakdowns that elicits the biggest draw of breath.  The band flirts less successfully with electronic elements and burnished industrial metal on \"What I'm Not,\" and mainstream post-grunge on the anthemic-to-a-fault \"Heart of a Graveyard,\" but they manage to navigate the shipwreck-strewn waters of power balladry with surprising aplomb - \"He Don't Need Me\" and \"I Will Fail You\" somehow manage to locate the sweet spot between turgid Godsmack broodiness and the stately melancholy of \"Fade to Black\"-era Metallica.  Though there is a heavier focus on the clean side of things this time around, Ryan Clark continues to wield one of the more sonorous and easy to decipher death rattles in the business, and the band tears through each track, especially the heavier ones, with a ferocity that's usually relegated to groups with only an album or two under their belts.  \u003cem\u003eExtremist\u003c\/em\u003e may be a tad too bold of a title, but it's still another strong entry into the Demon Hunter discography. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: March 18, 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Solid State Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 810488020878\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eListen Before You Buy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"playerdata\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- DATA URL and Title as BELOW --\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-1.mp3\" title=\"Death\"\u003eDeath\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-2.mp3\" title=\"Artificial Light\"\u003eArtificial Light\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-3.mp3\" title=\"What I'm Not\"\u003eWhat I'm Not\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-4.mp3\" title=\"The Last One Alive\"\u003eThe Last One Alive\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-5.mp3\" title=\"I Will Fail You\"\u003eI Will Fail You\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-6.mp3\" title=\"One Last Song\"\u003eOne Last Song\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-7.mp3\" title=\"Cross to Bear\"\u003eCross to Bear\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-8.mp3\" title=\"Hell Don't Need Me\"\u003eHell Don't Need Me\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-9.mp3\" title=\"In Time\"\u003eIn Time\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-10.mp3\" title=\"Beyond Me\"\u003eBeyond Me\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-11.mp3\" title=\"Gasoline\"\u003eGasoline\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca url=\"https:\/\/collide-records.com\/audios\/demon-hunter-extremist-12.mp3\" title=\"The Heart of a Graveyard\"\u003e\u003c!-- DATA URL and Title as ABOVE --\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Demon Hunter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49344855539939,"sku":"Demon Hunter (12b)","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Demon_Hunter_Extremist_CD_front.jpg?v=1753369797","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.com\/products\/extremist-cd-cracked-jewel-case","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
