The last 3 years have been an absolute whirlwind. We’ve welcomed 5 (!) children into the Demon Hunter family, endured heartbreaking trials, and experienced joy beyond comprehension. Outlive is a culmination of these peaks and valleys. It is a journey through adversity, survival, and overcoming the odds.

As well as this, Helmet will be heading out on a 36 city tour of the US this fall in support of the new album. The band will be joined by special guest Local H.
