HUNTRESS: 'Tidal Wave Festival' Performance Footage (Video) - July 19, 2012
Video footage of Los Angeles-based metallers HUNTRESS performing the song "Senecide" on July 14 at the Tidal Wave Festival at McLaren Park Amphitheater in San Francisco, California can be seen below.

HUNTRESS's debut album, "Spell Eater", sold around 700 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 56 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"Spell Eater" recently entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 96.

HUNTRESS vocalist Jill Janus told AOL's Noisecreep about the "Spell Eater" artwork, "The album cover captures the beauty and brutality of HUNTRESS. Vance Kelly is a warlock and he took our vision and created a magical illustration that breathes glory into the old crone. We contemplated having either a sultry sorceress or decrepit forest witch as our cover babe. Ultimately, the crone won because she is the true Huntress."

According to a press release, "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."

HUNTRESS is:

Vocals: Jill Janus
Lead Guitar: Blake Meahl
Rhythm Guitar: Ian Alden
Drums: Carl Wierzbicky
Bass: Eric Harris

She should consider having the J's removed from her name, seems more in line with what they do.

Obviously her voice is an acquired taste....but after a few songs her style really started to settle in with me. Could be her hottness....don't know. But the music kicks mucho ass. A banshee's wail always goes good with a screaming guitar solo.

I really want to like this band because Jill is such a nice person but I really just can't get into them. I really wish Gypsyhawk (bassist Eric's band) would get as much attention as Huntress gets. They are a WAY better band and their songs are fucking amazing.

Here is an example of a real metal band with an attractive female vocalist that is not writing cookie cutter radio rock and calling it metal. She sells her body, but she can back it up with a killer voice and good lyrics. This band writes great modern but classicly influenced metal tunes.
