Some bands are known for their womanizing ways, but The Dear Hunter is once again showing off their long-term relationship.
Enchanting and haunting, Act III – Life and Death eloquently continues The Dear Hunter’s six-chapter concept album project. The story began in 2006 with Act I: The Lake South, The River North and was continued in 2007 with Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading. The band has developed their concept with each act better than the one before.
This album continues the story of “the boy” as he deals with love, loss, and maturing. With the story half over, the third album leaves listeners craving the fourth act.
The CD as a whole is a completely comprehensive album, depicting a story that every imagination should experience. The lyrics mix smoothly with the melodies, and the combination of instruments sets a mood to match. The album deserves a listen from start to finish, but if you don’t have time, the songs can stand alone just as well as they work together.
Want a listen? Here is In Cauda Venenum, the second song on the album.
