The Hunt is a Melodic Death Metal band originally from Redwood City, California, known regionally for their powerful and atmospheric sound. Formed in 2016, the band is fronted by brutality connossiour Tony Rauser, features jaw-dropping licks courtesy of lead guitarist Cameron Stucky (Darkness Everywhere, Crepuscle, Illucinus, Sea in the Sky, and more), brain-bashing blast beats thanks to drummer Jacob Lauing (Wax Charmer, Arswain, The Night Prior, and more) and ball-clutching basslines performed by Dan Saltzman (Illucinus, Fleshspoil). Influenced by iconic bands across the genre like At The Gates, Gojira, Killswitch Engage, Sylosis, Darkest Hour, and others, The Hunt brings a unique blend of intense guitar riffs, dynamic and juicy melodies, and aggressive vocals to the stage.

Their journey began in the local music scene, where they quickly gained recognition for their energetic live performances and innovative approach to the genre. The Hunt's lyrics often explore themes of darkness, introspection, death, glory, the human experience, and much more.

As they continue to evolve their sound and push musical boundaries, The Hunt remains a symbol of raw passion and creativity in the world of heavy music.
