Great to see this band on the tour, but, correct me if I'm wrong here, but they certainly aren't melodic death metal, certainly not in my definition, a lot more of a traditional metal/thrash band in my book, though like I said, hope I get to the venue early enough to see them

Melodic Death Thrash
from Highland Park, CA
HUNTRESS was birthed in the underground of Highland Park, California, clawing at the roots of heavy metal. Lead singer Jill Janus is an operatic banshee with an unparalleled four-octave range and lust for the occult. Born and raised in the Catskill Mountains of New York, she toured Europe as a teenage opera starlet. Upon her return to the States, Janus embraced Manhattan nightlife, creating Felliniesque cabarets and parties in a nihilistic club scene. Years later, Janus moved to Los Angeles and began the gestation period of HUNTRESS. In 2009 she met underground metal band Professor. The universe spread her legs and delivered HUNTRESS to Janus, combining former members of Professor, Dark Black and Skeletonwitch. The powerful pentad signed to Napalm Records in November 2011. They unleashed their first music video for "Eight of Swords" in October 2011, directed by Simon Chan of Artificial Army. The song was produced and engineered by Chris Rakestraw of Sunset Lodge Recording in Silverlake, CA. Rakestraw also produced their debut album "Spell Eater", that was recorded in the spring of 2012.The heavy metal formation from California is undoubtedly the undisputed newcomer of 2012. HUNTRESS has already caused a frenzied commotion within the scene with the release of their first single. The force and power behind the track, taken from their upcoming debut "Spell Eater", proves that the band more than deserves the attention they now enjoy. Leading lady and warrior princess Jill Janus and the rest of the crew have created a musical concoction of occult science and archaic sorcery, which finds its roots in classic heavymetal. Thundering drums, heavy riffs, spectral solos, and catchy choruses are the basis of HUNTRESS' sound, which is majestically crowned by Jill's impressive vocals. The debut album's outstanding tracks will most certainly secure "Spell Eater" a place among the epic and timeless heavy metal albums. Add to it Vance Kelly's (DOWN, THE SWORD) both enchanting and commanding illustrations and you have a clear winner. With drawn swords, HUNTRESS prepares to conquer the crown. Makehaste, for blood will flow!
