HUNTRESS Wraps Up North American Tour With Danzig Prepares For Global Domination with Lamb of God

HUNTRESS has kicked off yet another year of relentless touring, following the release of their critically acclaimed album Starbound Beast. After an amazing run on this summer's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, HUNTRESS has just wrapped up their tour with the legendary Glenn Danzig for his 25^th Anniversary tour with Misfits guitarist Doyle.

Vocalist Jill Janus had this to say about her time on the road with Glenn Danzig:

"Touring with Danzig has been surreal. As an angsty teenage girl, I used to dream that one day I would duet with Glenn Danzig. Being chosen to tour with him was already mind blowing, but I also had the honor of singing "Skulls" with him in St. Paul, MN! I was watching the show from side stage. Doyle had just played a couple Misfits songs with the band. Then I see Glenn turn and ask if I'd like to join him for a duet! Performing with two of my idols was stellar. This has been a killer experience for HUNTRESS, watching Glenn Danzig nightly from the wings, he has mastered his craft and we've learned a lot from him on this short run. He's also hilarious, his sense of humor and attitude have made our time with him so much more incredible! Hail Danzig!"

After a short break this September, HUNTRESS will be back on the road with heavy metal heavyweights Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, and Testament! The tour kicks off October 22^nd in Toronto, ON, and runs through November 26^th in Silver Spring, MD. It has also been confirmed that Lamb of God will be taking HUNTRESS to Europe and the UK in early 2014. A complete list of dates can be found below.

HUNTRESS is proud to present their video for the song "Zenith". Bloody-Disgusting.com calls it "A Sci-Fi Horror Psychedelic Masterpiece!" The spectacular video was directed by Phil Mucci, whose video for HIGH ON FIRE's "Fertile Green" was named best video of 2012 by Revolver. Check out the "Zenith" video HERE.

Starbound Beast, is out now on Napalm Records. The album is available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon, and in Best Buy stores in the US.

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.

Guitars: Blake Meahl
Guitars: Anthony Crocamo
Bass: Ian Alden

HUNTRESS Premiere Video for "Zenith" on Bloody Disgusting

HUNTRESS has kicked off yet another year of relentless touring, following the release of their critically acclaimed album Starbound Beast. The band had an amazing run on this summer's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, and is currently out on the road with the legendary Danzig for his 25^th Anniversary tour with Misfits guitarist Doyle.

Director Phil Mucci spoke about working with Jill Janus:

"Jill doesn't compromise; she wanted something her fans would cherish for years to come. In a disposable world, she's very conscious of her legacy, as am I. It's more than a music video to us. It's a gateway drug."

Jill cannot wait for the fans to see "Zenith":

"You better pack your bongs now 'cuz this is going to trip you the fuck out! Huntress is ecstatic about our new music video for 'Zenith'. Director Phil Mucci is a visionary who brought our galactic hallucinations to life. HUNTRESS dedicates 'Zenith' to our fans who've inspired us on this path, and who continue to travel with us on our cosmic musical journey. Together we will smoke the galaxies and blaze a new future for true heavy metal!"

The band will also be hitting the road with heavy metal heavyweights Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage and Testament! The tour kicks off October 22^nd in Toronto, ON, and runs through November 26^th in Silver Spring, MD. Tickets are on sale now.
