God Forsaken by Demon Hunter hails from their latest album, 2012′s True Defiance released on Solid State Records.
God Forsaken is an awesome song because it has a really singable chorus that takes the typical Demon Hunter sound in a different direction than what you are used to, while keeping the intensity with unique screamed vocals (different than Ryan’s typical growls) with a quick-spitted pace which evolves into the beautiful chorus. God Forsaken proves once again that Demon Hunter can do great choruses that make you want to sing along with the best of them, while keeping their heavy sound that Hunter’s know and love. God Forsaken also features a very beautiful musical portion near the end that really elevates the piece and a completely out-of-place but absolutely awesome instrumental heavy epilogue that ends a very interesting experience and one of True Defiance’s best songs.
Lyrics:
So my dissent was a shallow defense I made to lay waste to the powers of fate
And all the blame I carry around my neck, a dead cycle of pain that I chase to find my way
When the sovereign comes to me / I eclipse in the shadow’s veil / Killing all I seek to be / For the passing vain inhale
A fall to the fires of Hell never failed to awaken
Though my soul ascend, in the darkness of my heart again… I’m God forsaken
With every turn I fail to learn my path and it’s wearing down my days
To be the voice of a half-dead, suffering age / A never-ending seek that I chase to find my way
Now the grave is all I see
About Demon Hunter Month
January 2013 is dedicated to the Christian metal band Demon Hunter, arguably my favorite band; and will feature songs from their entire catalog featured daily throughout the month, one a day. Whether you like metal, believe in God or not, check these songs out as you may be pleasantly surprised and hopefully you will discover some new-to-your-ears music to enjoy. Demon Hunter’s sound is extremely diverse, not all songs feature screams and growls, some are slow, sung ballads; others are heartfelt, all are deep with powerful lyrics that will make you think and ponder, as the sound takes you away.
