HUNTERS is a 5 piece metal band from Chicago, Illinois.

We recorded our debut full length record "From Birth To Soil" in early 2011 with producer and long time friend Andrew Ragin (the Atlas Moth) and it being co-mixed and mastered by James Murphy (Testament, Death, Obituary) definitely captured our sound and projected it to a new level.

This record has been turning some heads amongst the sludge, doom, stoner, & death metal scenes.

Playing countless shows and weekend tours in and around the midwest the past year with bands like; Exhumed, Goatwhore, Havok, Sweet Cobra, Red Fang, Coliseum, Corrosion of Conformity, Indian, Earthride, Howl, Coffinworm, Lazarus A.D., Enabler, The Swan King, Wolvhammer, Antietam 1862, Millions, Lord Mantis, Backwoods Payback, Rue, Rebreather, Black Skies, and many more.

The ever entertaining onstage antics have built a buzz in the city with members spitting, pushing, playing pranks and at times even throwing punches at each other during the set, to truly visually represent the dark nature of our sound.

We even strongly pride ourselves on keeping the DIY attitude and lifestyle we were raised on by designing, printing & promoting our own merch and music. Something that is very rare these days with the saturated viral marketing monster that has now become the internet.

But, like every intelligent creature we are adapting to our surroundings and have been utilizing the evolution of media with our website and social media outlets. To better our communication with fans and even network with good friends in other bands and labels.

Be prepared for alot from us in, as we are always writing music and creating art. It's our life... and without it... we are dirt.
