Lemmy Kilmister To Jill Janus From HUNTRESS: "I Want to Fuck You to Death"

HUNTRESS is back with the follow up to their buzzworthy debut album 'Spell Eater', which was released in 2012. The album entitled 'Starbound Beast' will be released 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 for Starbound Beast was created once again by Vance Kelly (Slayer, Ghost B.C., Mastodon).

Today HUNTRESS has unveiled the first song from Starbound Beast. The track entitled "I Want to Fuck You to Death" was co-written for singer Jill Janus by legendary Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister.

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 honored. 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..."

The song is available as an exclusive stream on the HUNTRESS Facebook Page. When visiting the facebook page, clicking the "like" button will enable the audio.

EVERY TIME I DIE Concert In Toledo, Ohio Cut Short After Gun Shots!

This past Saturday, April 13, EVERY TIME I DIE were performing at the Jamboree Festival in Toledo, Ohio when gun shots were fired while they were performing. The band obviously cut their set short. Here is what the band had to say about this incident:

"We apologize to everyone at Jamboree that stuck around only to see our set cut short. When guns are involved there is a venue protocol. Maintaining safety while trying to avoid a panic riot is a tightrope walk that not many have practiced. We hope that everyone is safe."

"I wont use tonights event to push an agenda.I’ll just say that the social contract our community honors was broken by the ONE. not the many." - Keith Buckley

"Apologies to Jamboree Fest in Toledo. We came in hot, but some idiot came in hotter with a gun. Safety 1st. See ya in the summer." - Steve Micciche
  
"Gunshots interrupting our set? That’s a new one. Sorry we couldn’t finish the set guys." Ryan “Legs” Leger

JOB FOR A COWBOY Premiere PUNISHING Music Video For "Tarnished Gluttony"

JOB FOR A COWBOY are currently demolishing crowds at the month-long Summer Slaughter trek. Today, the band is premiering a music video for "Tarnished Gluttony". The disturbing nine-and-a-half-minute clip was directed by Michael Panduro, who has previously worked with SAINT VITUS and CEPHALIC CARNAGE.

"'Tarnished Gluttony' originally runs off the idea of blind faith into our government and monetary system. The director ran with the idea and spliced it with a H.P. Lovecraftian twist. The video streams the fascination of religion and the actions people justify in the name of religion, and this video is a spin on the old biblical tale of Abraham and Isaac, however, set in the world of Lovecraftian mythology. The point is, acting blindly in faith to a Christian deity is just as absurd as worshiping squid like monsters from space who live under the sea." - Jonny Davey (front man of JOB FOR A COWBOY)

Adds Panduro: "As a commercial director, I'm a complete failure. The band asked for just one thing and I couldn't deliver. Indeed, this video has no boobs."

SUMMER SLAUGHTER TOUR On Facebook

A Potential Tragedy Avoided Last At The Tampa, Florida Stop Of The 2012 SUMMER SLAUGHTER TOUR

                                     Photos courtesy of Stephen Rafferty

As previously reported, last night the 2012 Summer Slaughter tour stop at the Ritz in Tampa, Florida was delayed by "a couple of hours". Here is exactly what happened:

After a female bartender reportedly received a note that stated that during JOB FOR A COWBOY's set, a man was going to hurt people.... Cops were immediately called. Once they arrived at the scene they went ahead and evacuated the venue for the safety of all the attendees. Then the cops searched for weapons with a K-9 and the security guards from the Ritz searched every single attendee for weapons. They didn't find any weapons or the suspect.

Once Police deemed it safe for the show to continue, the attendees made their way into the venue and were surprised by a round of free drinks due to the delays. Thank goodness the bartender, the Police and the security team from the venue, reacted so promptly!
 
JFAC's drummer Jon "Charn" Rice sent this statement to Blabbermouth about the incident:

"Just to clarify the events that happened this evening, a note was passed to the bartender stating that during our set a man with two knives and a gun was going to hurt people. Cops were called and after the proper precautions were taken, the show set off again, albeit a bit behind. No one was hurt and everyone involved is safe."

Here is the official statement from the authorities (via Tampa Bay Online):

"Almost 1,000 people, customers and employees, were evacuated from the Ritz Theatre, 1503 E. 7th Ave., before the Summer Slaughter Tour. A customer heard two other customers talk about shooting people once the concert started at the club", police said.

"Management at the Ritz Theatre became worried and called police at around 5:34 p.m.", police said. "The club was evacuated from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and part of 7th Avenue was closed.
When police officers arrived, they evacuated the building and searched for weapons with a K-9", police said.

"No weapons were found in the club and the people who had been evacuated were allowed back in.
Once people got inside, police officers got on stage and told the audience what had happened and why they were evacuated. The crowd erupted in cheers and applause and thanked the officers, police said."

Here is some video of the crowd outside the venue:
