“Not only does this album sucker punch you right off the bat by the strong 4 octave vocal range of Jill Janus, its strong lyrics make you want to live a day in her head.” – KNAC
“HUNTRESS has topped everything they’ve done before and recorded a classic slab of metal. ‘Static’ is over-flowing with great riffs, searing solos, fantastic hooks, wonderful melody, and that x-factor, that magic that sets a great band apart from the pack. Jill Janus is in terrific vocal form, displaying a newfound depth and control to her delivery.” – Zero Tolerance Magazine.

The band thrives on thundering drums, heavy riffs, spectral solos and catchy choruses that come from the band’s musical concoction of melodic songwriting, occult science and bong rips.HUNTRESS delivers a modern sonic attack while staying true to the roots of heavy metal, with a penchant for thrash, death and black metal.
HUNTRESS released their buzzworthy debut album Spell Eater in 2012 on Napalm Records. One year later, the critically-acclaimed Starbound Beastbecame a sophomore success. Lemmy Kilmister penned lyrics for “I Want To Fuck You To Death” which quickly became a radio hit. The powerful pentad is has just released their third studio album titled Static on September 25, 2015. HUNTRESS has ascended rapidly in the metal world, driven by fierce work ethic and a relentless tour schedule. They’ve supported Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Testament, Danzig, Arch Enemy, Kreator, Amon Amarth, Dragonforce, 3 Inches of Blood and have played a slew of festivals worldwide including Download Festival, The Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, Metal Fest Open Airs, Heavy MTL and Tidal Wave as headliner.
