Predictably it rocks hard as hell and should be listened to at paint-peeling […]
Demon Hunter is streaming their new single “Master” now that their coming record Exile got pushed back to October 28. “Master” is the fifth single we’ve gotten off Exile and much like the previous four, it’s pretty damn good! All five singles have done a great job in terms of catchiness and overall variety, assuring […]
