HUNTRESS has generated a massive amount of buzz since the release of their debut album
Spell Eater in 2012. The follow up to last year\’s kill,
Starbound Beast, is available now in Europe and will be released this Tuesday July 2nd in North America via Napalm Records. The album can be pre-ordered on
iTunes and
Amazon.
The band recently completed work on a video for their song \”Zenith\”. A video teaser has been posted and can be viewed
HERE. The clip was directed by
Phil Mucci, whose video for
HIGH ON FIRE\’s \”Fertile Green\” was named best video of 2012 by
Revolver. Look for the video to receive its exclusive premiere via Bloody Disgusting soon.
In support of the release of
Starbound Beast HUNTRESS is hitting the road on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, which kicks off tomorrow in San Bernardino, CA. In addition to performing everyday, vocalist Jill Janus will host the first ever Shred-Meister guitar competition. Festival attendees can go to the Jägermeister tents on site and audition for a chance to shred for 10 seconds on the main stage. Each day, one of the 10 finalists will win a custom Jägermeister guitar from Schecter and the overall winner at the end of the tour will win a custom Jägermeister full stack and head courtesy of Peavey Electronics.
Starbound Beast was recorded at Hobby Shop Studios in Los Angeles, CA, working with famed producer Zeuss (Shadows Fall, Hatebreed, Agnostic Front). The artwork for
Starbound Beast was created once again by Vance Kelly (Slayer, Ghost B.C., Mastodon).
HUNTRESS was spawned from the preternatural union of Jill Janus with underground metal bands Professor and Dark Black. They thrive on thundering drums, heavy riffs, spectral solos and catchy choruses that come from the band\’s musical concoction of occult science and bong rips.
HUNTRESS remains true to the roots of melodic heavy metal with a penchant for thrash, death and black metal.
