DEMON HUNTER BREAK LIKE “THE WIND”

Demon Hunter to good taste: “Hey, let’s take a little walk in the woods, whadda ya say? Oh, these shovels? They’re just, uh, our walking sticks. Yeah, that’s the ticket.”

Demon Hunter, one of approximately eighteen thousand insanely successful metal bands whose appeal is completely lost on me, are streaming a new song, “The Wind,” here. It comes off of Happy Christmas Volume 5, a Tooth & Nail comp consisting almost entirely of bands I’ve never heard of. (Ivoryline? Sent By Ravens? Thousand Foot Krutch? Who are you people???)

And the song sounds an awful lot like a song that I myself wrote about fifteen years ago, right around the time I realized I had no talent and I would never punish the world with my crappy guitar playing and sub-par song composition skills again. But I guess Demon Hunter has no conscience, so they went ahead and made a career out of this. Swell.

Side note: when I googled the words “demon hunter the wind” to try and get more details of the song, the first website to come up was called jesusfreakhideout.com. Then my computer started to burn up and cry out “I’m melting! I’M MELTING!!!”
