The career of Demon Hunter has been marked mostly by consistency, and for the most part, Outlive continues this tendency. Even though it's full of more inconsistencies and dull moments than we've come to expect from the group, it's still a satisfying listen for its blend of rugged metalcore, classic metal technicalities, and hard rock balladry.
