in 2005, demon hunter went back to the compound in seattle, washington to record their third album, entitled "the triptych". the word "triptych" centers around the concept of three, as it was the band's third album. included on the album is a cover of prong's song "snap your fingers, snap your neck". this album debuted watts as sprinkle's permanent replacement on drums (jesse having joined dead poetic) as well as the addition of ethan luck as lead guitarist, replacing kris mccaddon. "the triptych" was even bigger than "summer of darkness", selling more than twice as many records on its first week of release than "summer of darkness" had. "undying" was the band's first single from this album, and was also made into a music video directed by chris sims.
