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 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 (Terrestria, Phantom Code, and more) and brutal basslines performed by Dan Saltzman (Illucinus, Fleshspoil). Influenced by iconic bands across the genre like At The Gates, Gojira, Sylosis, Darkest Hour, and others, The Hunt brings a unique blend of intense guitar riffs, victorious melodies, and aggressive, dynamic vocals to the stage.

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