ex-Demon Hunter guitarist: I am not a Satanist
Friday, August 03, 2012 12:54 PM PT
Official press release:
Ryan Helm (Damien Deadson, ex-Demon Hunter, The Ascendicate) has recently had some rumors swirling around his lyrical content and religious views. He has released the following official statement:
"Normally I would not even address such petty ridiculous accusations, but this rumor has gotten so out of control that it is starting to affect me on a financial level. For the record; I, Ryan Helm am not a Satanist, and neither is my band Damien Deadson. None of the lyrical content or meaning is Satanic, or even remotely evil or even promotes evil or harm spiritually or physically. Hopefully this can put to rest any doubts, fears, and rumors of me, my band, and band mates being Satanist. Now, can we all just get back to playing metal?"

I'm not convinced. Any band as awful as Demon Hunter, that is sent here to terrorize unwitting metal fans, must have some sort of demonic origin

whats funnier is demon hunter is not even remotely christian either...tooth and nail/solid state "make" these bands because they know that "christian rock fans" are of a certain age group, "faith" and more importantly....still buy CDs. Brandon Ebel said it himself Drunk at party. What's worse than a christian band preaching on stage? A FAKE christian band preaching on stage....

This is just like when dimmu borgir said they are not satanic they just use satanic themes and symbols to rebel against christianity.

All you turds on this site are dumb. If a band doesnt sound like Beneath The Sky you hate on them... I could easily name you five LOG songs that are better than 7861.

maybe his stepdad was a ginger and took out his red rage on him as a kid, then he finally had enough and became a demon finder

if he was satanist, i'd be more likely to check out his band, rather than some terrible rap-metal christian dude, whose biggest claim to fame is being in a popular terrible rap-metal christian band.

Also: isn't this the band that rarely toured specifically because this guy had a lucrative IT or graphic design job? I remember him designing the Terror "One With The Underdogs" cover. If your finances are shot, that probably means God wants you to quit this shitty band and to go back behind a computer

wtf does it matter if he is or isn't? Satanism isn't actually about being evil. Do some fucking research cunts.
