HUNTRESS – Reveal first song from ‘Starbound Beast’ album

‘I Want To Fuck You To Death’ Co-Written By Lemmy of Motorhead

Huntress have unveiled the first song from their upcoming album Starbound Beast, which will be released on July 1st . The track entitled “I Want to Fuck You to Death” was co-written for singer Jill Janus by legendary Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister. The song is a solid slab of raunch with vocals that will tie you to your seat, tease you, and make you enjoy every second. Frontwoman Jill Janus spoke about the collaboration: “I met Lemmy through my former band Chelsea Girls. We’d play hard rock and metal covers featuring guest celebrities. Lemmy was already friends with the girls, so he played “Ace of Spades” with us and it blew my mind. We stayed in touch and would meet up at The Rainbow for drinks. So I asked him a few months back over Jack & Cokes if he’d write lyrics for a Huntress song and he said ‘Sure’. A few weeks later, I met him at the studio during Motorhead recording sessions. Lemmy handed me two two pieces of notebook paper with the lyrics for ‘I Want to Fuck You to Death’. I am beyond honoured. To me, this is a love song. It is the most romantic song I’ve ever heard.” Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister also spoke of the collaboration: “The first time I heard Jill’s voice with Chelsea Girls, it was phenomenal. I wrote these lyrics from her point of view, the Huntress. ‘I Want to Fuck You to Death’ was inspired by her, written for her. I’ve always had a soft spot for her. And a hard spot too…”

For those of you who have not heard of Huntress I strongly suggest you correct that as soon as you can, the band 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 are a band that remain true to the roots of melodic heavy metal with a penchant for thrash, death and black metal.

This track is a treat and if it’s anything to go off then the album will be a monster that you don’t want to miss. The band will be touring in support of the album and will be playing the Jagermeister Stage at Download Festival in June.
