[Machine Translation] Huntress is an LA-based band led by a vocalist with a background as an opera singer. Their new album is a collection of traditional heavy metal with a strong personality and high aspirations. The band has moved forward to become a full-fledged band, and Jill's spirited shouts are piercing through their latest sophomore album! - Profile - HUNTRESS is a band with one of the best vocalists in the world, Jill Jaynas, who hails from California, USA and has a background as an opera singer. Originally from New York City, Jill Jenas has toured Europe as an opera singer at the age of 14. She was a metal fanatic from an early age, and was hooked on SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, JUDAS PRIEST, BLACK SABBATH, and KING DIAMOND, which eventually led her to pursue a career in a metal band. In Los Angeles, she joined up with members of PROFESSOR and DARK BLACK to form HUNTRESS, which released the EP "Off With Her Head" in 2010 and began touring energetically. In April 2012, the band completed their debut album "Spell Eater" and made their international debut, featuring Jill, who can sing high tones, death, and growl in a range of over 4 octaves, and has garnered attention for their music, which they describe as "melodic deathrush". The band's music, which Jill describes as "melodic deathrush," has attracted attention and made a huge impact on the scene. However, it was undeniable that people were more interested in Jill's shocking looks and costumes than in her music. After that, they toured with a variety of bands, and their experiences provided them with a great deal of food for thought as they moved on to the next step in their career. After a change of members, the band started recording in LA, aiming for a more orthodox style, more faithful to heavy metal. Chris "Zeuss" Harris, who had worked with SHADOWS FALL, HATEBREED, and others, was hired as producer. The finished album shows a dramatic increase in the precision of the songs, the playing, and the sound quality, and it is immediately apparent that the band has made significant progress. I was honestly surprised at the growth of the band in just one year. The song "I Want To Fuck You To Death" was written by Lemmy Kilmister of MOTORHEAD for Jill.
