Musical style
editLead singer Ryan Clark indicated that each of the two albums (War and Peace) are "devoted to their contrasting musical styles - heavy and melodic."[8]
Both albums were professionally reviewed in the Jesus Freak Hideout website. In the Peace review, reviewer Wayne Myatt said that even though the album is not of the band's best, "it is a good album that should please most Demon Hunter and hard rock fans."[5]
