Demon Hunter
Feb 8, 2010
Demon Hunter debuted "Tie This Around Your Neck" on its MySpace page. The stream follows an exclusive world premiere on Liquid Metal Sirius XM and is part of the official "50 Days Of Demon Hunter" online campaign.
"The world will tell you to lead yourself. This song is the antithesis of that ideal," says vocalist Ryan Clark about the meaning and title of the track. "We believe that we are a flawed people, and that man, given unto his own will, will fail. Therefore, using our flesh as a compass in life is a path that leads only to destruction. The burden of relying only on yourself is like a weight around your neck, and when the people and forces of the world encourage us to live this way, we tell them to 'save their breath'"
"Tie This Around Your Neck" is the first song to be released off of the band's upcoming album "The World Is a Thorn," which will be available in stores and online March 9.
