Huntress To Release Starbound Beast July 2nd In North America

HUNTRESS is back with the follow up to their buzzworthy debut album Spell Eater, which was released in 2012.  The album entitled Starbound Beast has been confirmed for release on June 28th in Europe and on July 2nd in North America via Napalm Records.  The band recorded the album at Hobby Shop Studios in Los Angeles, CA, working with famed producer Zeuss (Shadows Fall, Hatebreed, Agnostic Front).

HUNTRESS has teamed up with RevolverMag.com, the online home of Revolver Magazine for an exclusive premiere of the album artwork for Starbound Beast.  Check it out HERE.  The artwork was created once again by Vance Kelly (Slayer, Ghost B.C., Mastodon).

In support of Starbound Beast the band will be touring across North America this summer as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival.   The band will be featured on the Jagermeister Stage alongside Machine Head, Battlecross & Others.  The tour kicks off June 29th in San Bernardino, CA and runs through August 4th in Dallas, TX.  A complete list of dates can be found below.  The band took part in the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival Press Conference and performed live, check out footage HERE.

 

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.

Huntress Back In The Studio With Zeuss

After the past year on tour in Europe with Dragonforce and 3 Inches of Blood, fearless metal sensation HUNTRESS are back in the studio working on their follow-up album to Spell Eater. The band is currently working with  Zeuss (Shadows Fall, Hatebreed, Municipal Waste) and Jill Janus states: "Huntress is seriously stoked on Zeuss. He's the real deal; a true Heavy Metal producer that shares our vision. We are ready to deliver a killer second album, and Zeuss is the man to make it happen. Hail Metal!"

Los Angeles based Huntress, whom LA Weekly called, "...true to the roots of melodic heavy metal with a penchant for thrash, death and black metal" released their buzzworthy debut album Spell Eater earlier in 2012 via Napalm Records. The album, which Metal Hammer calls "a magical debut from the hottest new act of 2012," was recorded last fall in Los Angeles and was produced by Chris Rakestraw (Danzig, Children of Bodom and Skeletonwitch).
 

Huntress was spawned from the preternatural union of Jill Janus and the Southern California metal band Professor. Janus began her ascension into the realm of heavy metal in the Catskill Mountains of New York, where she first developed her unique vocal abilities. Born with a four-octave range, Janus spent years performing as a coloratura soprano. Her classical training is now the foundation for her screams.
 

The band will be performing at European festivals planned for the next few months including Download and Hammerfest.

3 Inches Of Blood Releases Lyric Video For "Storming Juno

3 INCHES OF BLOOD has released a lyric video for their track, "Storming Juno."  Taken from their most recent album, LONG LIVE HEAVY METAL, vocalist Cam Pipes explains how the song is a tribute anthem: "Storming Juno is a tribute to the soldiers of the Canadian armed forces that got the first foothold for the allies on D-Day during World War II.  Every November 11 we remember all who served, some who made the ultimate sacrifice, in service to their country.   Releasing this lyric video is our way of acknowledging those who served our country and how proud we are of the significant contribution Canada had in fighting tyranny all those years ago."

 3 INCHES OF BLOOD has stayed on the road throughout 2012, continually supporting LONG LIVE HEAVY METAL.  Produced by Terry "Sho" Murray [City of Fire, DOA], the astounding twelve-track achievement offers an explosion of sound, setting new standards for the traditional metal genre.   Described by MSN as "good, honest, melodic heavy metal," the music video for "Metal Woman" can be seen here: http://youtu.be/_Y8xwttdjCc

Huntress Continues To Support Spell Eater On European Tour

Fearless metal sensation HUNTRESS is has recently premiered their new EPK via Loudwire.com (http://loudwire.com/singer-jill-janus-tells-the-story-of-huntress-exclusive-video/). The four-minute piece delves into the mind of vocalist Jill Janus, who elaborates on what makes the band so enthralling and haunting. Los Angeles based Huntress, whom LA Weekly called, "...true to the roots of melodic heavy metal with a penchant for thrash, death and black metal" released their buzzworthy debut album Spell Eater earlier in 2012 via Napalm Records. The album, which Metal Hammer calls "a magical debut from the hottest new act of 2012," was recorded last fall in Los Angeles and was produced by Chris Rakestraw (Danzig, Children of Bodom and Skeletonwitch).

Huntress was spawned from the preternatural union of Jill Janus and the Southern California metal band Professor. Janus began her ascension into the realm of heavy metal in the Catskill Mountains of New York. She was born to scream - an operatic banshee with a four-octave range. The Catskills were not enough to contain her, and in her teens she toured Europe as a young opera prodigy.

Huntress Joins Wretched Tour Beginning July 17

After successful runs on Paganfest and with Dragonforce in the US earlier this year, and Metalfest Open Air shows in Europe just weeks ago, there are still fans awaiting the onslaught delivered by HUNTRESS. Beginning July 17, 2012, the fearless metal pentad fronted by Jill Janus, whom LA Weekly named "It Girl in metal,"will be direct support on Wretched's 17-city tour. Please see below for a list of tour dates.

Los Angeles based metal band Huntress released their buzzworthy debut album Spell Eater on May 8, 2012 via Napalm Records. The album, which Metal Hammer calls "a magical debut from the hottest new act of 2012," was recorded last fall in Los Angeles and was produced by Chris Rakestraw (Danzig, Children of Bodom and Skeletonwitch).The music video for the album's title track sums up the band at its core: true to the roots of melodic heavy metal with a penchant for thrash, death and black metal.

Huntress was spawned from the preternatural union of Jill Janus and the Southern California metal band Professor. Janus began her ascension into the realm of heavy metal in the Catskill Mountains of New York. She was born to scream - an operatic banshee with a four-octave range. The Catskills were not enough to contain her, and in her teens she toured Europe as a young opera prodigy.

Upon her return to New York, Janus took Manhattan by storm where she became a part of the nihilistic club scene and hosted Felliniesque parties to support her quest for Huntress. A few years later she would make the journey to Los Angeles, where she would ultimately find her band. Huntress is a blend of thundering drums, heavy riffs, spectral solos and catchy choruses that come from the band's musical concoction of occult science and archaic sorcery. Let the witches in!
