Huntress: 2nd album 'Starbound Beast' on its way

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).

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 Jägermeister 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.

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.

Vocals: Jill Janus
