Outlive is the eighth studio album by American Christian metal band Demon Hunter. The album was released by Solid State Records on March 31, 2017.[8] The work was funded through PledgeMusic,[9] with "Cold Winter Sun" broadcast prior to the showing for all album tracks.[10]
Musical style
[edit]In addition to the band's usual metalcore style, Metal Injection reviewer Aaron said that "as Outlive unfolds, traces of rock, death metal, groove metal, thrash metal and goth can be heard, complemented by melodic undertones that add to the accessibility and memorability of each song."[1]

The career of Demon Hunter has been marked mostly by consistency, and for the most part, Outlive continues this tendency. Even though it's full of more inconsistencies and dull moments than we've come to expect from the group, it's still a satisfying listen for its blend of rugged metalcore, classic metal technicalities, and hard rock balladry.
