The Triptych is the third full-length album by metalcore band Demon Hunter which was released October 25, 2005. Produced by Aaron Sprinkle (Emery, Fair) and mixed by Machine (Lamb of God), The Triptych had three different album covers"”implying a traditional triptych"”by Dan Seagrave.
The album hit the No. 1 position on the Billboard's Heatseekers chart during its first week of release in stores and was re-released on October 31, 2006.
Vocalist Ryan Clark described in an interview that, while the previous two albums had him record vocals with a standing, screened microphone, for The Triptych, he used a basic handheld mic. This allowed him to move around freely and hold longer notes; however, it also allowed Clark to naturally cup the mic which consequently muffled or distanced his vocals.
The album received generally positive views and was a huge commercial success, reaching No 10. in the Top Christian Albums chart in 2005 and the No. 1 spot on the Top Heatseekers chart in 2006.

Reviews For "The Triptych"

Hey, it's Demon Hunter... 'nuf said.
by tombie on 10/16/2011

Demon Hunter's much anticipated 3rd release, "The Trptych" is now out and rockin'! They bring back many of the styles off of their s/t cd, add a little bit of "Summer of Darkness", touch it up with a little more metal than the previous two, (Not too much) and wahlah! "The Triptych"!!! Very well produced. They have a new drummer which shows with more double bass. Great guitar work with, yes! a solo!!! Cool lyrics and their are 3 different album covers. This album rocks. There are 2 decent ballads. Very good effort from DH!!!
