Description
The Dear Hunter are thrilled to announce the release details of their new album 'Act V: Hymns With The Devil In Confessional', out September 9th on Rude Records. The release of 'Act V' marks the long-awaited continuation of the band's album concept series chronicling the story of a boy at the turn of the century, only referred to as 'The Dear Hunter', and is the main project of multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter Case Crescenzo.
From the beginning, it was a high-concept project: Casey mapped out multi-page treatments for a six album story arc about the birth, life, and abrupt death of a boy, set at the dawn of the 20th century. Act I: The Lake south, The River North, Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading, Act III: Life and Death and the fourth installment Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise were released between 2006 and 2015.
Crescenzo temporarily stepped away from the series to work on the critically acclaimed 2.5 hour, 9 EP, 36-track collection: 'The Colour Spectrum', his latest studio album 'Migrant', and his own personal symphony 'Amour & Attrition'. 'The Dear Hunter' has now completed a new chapter of the story after the highly anticipated 'Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise'. 'Act V' is produced entirely by Crescenzo and written in the same time frame of its predecessor.
