#1 on Billboard Christian Rock Chart, #3 on Billboard
Hard Rock Chart, #14 on Billboard Rock Chart
True
Defiance, the celebrated sixth studio album from metal juggernauts DEMON
HUNTER, bowed at
an impressive #36 on the Billboard 200 in its first week.
The highly anticipated album also landed at #3 on
the Billboard Hard Rock Chart, #14 on the Billboard Rock Chart and #1 on the
Billboard Christian Rock Chart.
The chart position represents the band's highest debut on
the Top 200, edging out the previous best set by 2010's The World Is A
Thorn, which bowed at #39.
In an era where sales in general are declining, the Top 40
debut of True Defiance
showcases the band's own defiance of those trends and the
loyalty of an ardent fanbase that continues to turn out to support DEMON
HUNTER over the course of their 10-year, 6-album career.
"We're insanely excited about this album's reception," says frontman Ryan Clark. "Our fans never cease to amaze - In an industry climate that is almost sure to disappoint, they've once again shown what die-hard support is all about. Thank you to our incredible fans!!!"

Produced by Aaron Sprinkle (ANBERLIN, EMERY) and mixed by
Jason Suecof (ALL THAT REMAINS, TRIVIUM), True Defiance finds DEMON
HUNTER continuing in their hard rock evolution while embracing the
components that have always formed the backbone of their music: true metal,
dark rock and balladry. The album marks a vital new chapter in the
celebrated history of DEMON HUNTER, who are currently marking their
10th year of writing, breaking and erasing the rules of hard rock. Not ones to
rest on their laurels, however, the members have created an album that not only
lives up to their own lofty standards, but sets a new high-water mark for
what DH is capable of.
