Demon Hunter, “Driving Nails (String Mix)”

Hell has frozen over. Demon Hunter’s Driving Nails is my recommended song of the day. That’s two Christian heavy metal songs in two days. But before y’all think we’ve reformatted, y’all should know that there is a string mix that is as moving as it is disturbing.

Vocalist Ryan Clark has never sounded so good. The Driving Nails “String Mix,” which is a bonus issued on iTunes upon [purchase of the album The World is a Thorn, highlights his vocal – and surprising harmonic instincts – in a moody string background. It is new, especially since producer Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin, The Almost) brought something new to the CD. The World is a Thorn debuted at #39 on the Billboard 200 with 14,000 copies sold in its first week. With nine radio stations adding Driving Nails to its regular rotation, I’m pretty sure Demon Hunter will rack up more sales, especially as it prepares for its headlining tour in August.

DRIVING NAILS Lyrics (String Mix)
Demon Hunter

I was the light, I was the quiet heart. I was the place we used to dwell.
And when the cold would tear your life apart, I was the warmth that you had felt.

What have I become? What have I become?
Thoughts like shadows swelling through my mind.
What have I become? Something else inside…

Its driving nails into my soul,(and) angels from my door.
Driving nails into my soul. Something inside…

I was the blood inside your broken heart. I was the stone that you had held.

What have I become? What have I become?
Thoughts like shadows swelling through my mind.
What have I become? Something else inside…

Its driving nails into my soul,(and) angels from my door.
Driving nails into my soul. Something else inside…
Its driving nails into my soul,(and) angels from my door.
Driving nails into my soul. Something inside…

I close my eyes… Search for you… Retracing every step.

Its driving nails into my soul,(and) angels from my door.
Driving nails into my soul. Something inside…
Nails into my soul,(and) angels from my door.
Driving nails into my soul. Something else inside…
Its driving nails into my soul,(and) angels from my door.
Driving nails into my soul. Something else inside…
