Act V: Hymns With the Devil in Confessional

"Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional" is the seventh full-length studio album by American rock band The Dear Hunter. It was released on September 9, 2016 via Cave and Canary Goods and Equal Vision Records The two albums, Act IV and V, were written and recorded much in the same time frame- though each album retains its own unique identity, tone, and experience. Act V, however, will be the final ‘rock’ record in the Act series. Casey Crescenzo stated "This may read as though I am abandoning the project, one record early - but the truth is simply that in knowing what Act VI means to the series, and what its story has to say - presenting it in the same form as Acts I-V would be short selling the creative opportunity it presents".
