The 2024 Jester One Music Top 20 Countdown - #18

  #18. Demon Hunter - The Pain In Me Is Gone

 

Title: The Pain In Me Is Gone
Artist: Demon Hunter
Album: There Was A Light Here


Is there another artist that has been as prolific as Demon Hunter? #11 in 2019, 16 in '17, 8 in '12 and 19 in 2010. They've only released one album, 2022's Exile that didn't chart in the Top 20 since I started recording things, and they return with what I believe to be their best album since 2014's Extremist. They keep making great singles and hits but There Was A Light Here is excellent from top to bottom, with several other songs vying for a spot in the Countdown. "The Pain In Me Is Gone" honestly wasn't my first (or second) choice for top song off of the album, but as the year progressed it just kept slapping me and getting more plays. It's one of those songs that you get stuck in your head and you're still humming it as you lie down to sleep. Way to go, boys. 



Favorite Line: "Am I right in feeling wrong? Can we cauterize our wounds?"
