War is the ninth studio album by American Christian metal band Demon Hunter. The album, together with Peace, was released by Solid State Records on March 1, 2019. The band released a string of promotional singles prior to the album's release, including "On My Side", "The Negative", and "Ash".
The album earned 13,000 equivalent album units in its first week, ending March 7 to debut at No. 7 on Billboards Top Current Albums chart, according to Nielsen Music. The album was No. 55 on the Billboard 200. Loudwire named both albums together as one of the 50 best metal albums of 2019.
Musical style Vocalist Ryan Clark stated that each of the two albums (War and Peace) "could be devoted to their contrasting musical styles- heavy and melodic."
Both albums were professionally reviewed in the Jesus Freak Hideout website. In the War review, reviewer Scott Fryberger said that as much as he likes "Demon Hunter's brand of hard rock, the feature presentation is still in their metalcore", with some songs keeping its musical aspect.
