Their debut album, <em>Spell Eater<\/em>, hit the shelves in April of 2012 followed by <em>Zenith<\/em> in June of 2013; they performed at The Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival in 2013 and now they\u2019re finishing out the year on tour with Lamb of God.  By all measures, a pretty successful year for this California based band.  Jill Janus has a pure vocal tone that is quickly chased by a horns-up scream that will stop you in your tracks.  The whole band is tight and on point, a true well-oiled machine.<\/p>\n<p>Huntress is:<\/p>\n<p>Vocals: Jill Janus<br \/>\nLead Guitar: Blake Meahl<br \/>\nLead Guitar: Anthony Crocamo<br \/>\nBass: Ian Alden<br \/>\nDrums: Carl Wierzbicky<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/testament-IMG_7811-hi-res-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Testament\" width=\"200\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-34150\" \/>Metal legends, Testament, followed in support of their hot-off-the-press release <em>Dark Roots of Thrash<\/em> that dropped at the end of October of this year.  Around since 1983, Testament hasn\u2019t stopped putting out successful studio albums or performing live to thousands.<\/p>\n<p>Testament is:<\/p>\n<p>Vocals: Chuck Billy<br \/>\nGuitar: Eric Peterson<br \/>\nGuitar: Alex Skolnick<br \/>\nBass: Greg Christian<br \/>\nDrums: Gene Hoglan<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/kse-IMG_8090-hi-res-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Killswitch Engage\" width=\"200\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-34153\" \/>Up next, Killswitch Engage with original singer Jesse Leach.  Their sixth and newest album, <em>Disarm the Descent<\/em>, was released in April of 2013.  Local to the Northeast, the band was met with a huge welcome.  KSE\u2019s combination of power chords and harmonies, killer drum patterns with vocal melodies followed by guttural screams keeps the band on top of the metal game.<\/p>\n<p>Killswitch Engage is: <\/p>\n<p>Vocals: Jesse Leach<br \/>\nGuitar: Adam Dutkiewicz<br \/>\nGuitar: Joel Stroetzel<br \/>\nBass: Mike D&#8217;Antonio<br \/>\nDrums: Justin Foley<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/lamb-of-god-IMG_0351-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Lamb of God\" width=\"200\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-34155\" \/>The headliner, Lamb of God, never disappoints.  They put on a show that gets an entire venue on their feet, fists in the air and wishing they bought a pit ticket.  The energy that these guys have is relentless.  With the release of <em>As The Palaces Burn &#8211; 10th Anniversary Edition<\/em> inching closer (November 11, 2013) this tour proved be an epic lineup that covers all genres of metal.  <\/p>\n<p>Lamb of God is:<\/p>\n<p>Vocals: Randy Blythe<br \/>\nGuitar: Mark Morton<br \/>\nGuitar: Will Adler<br \/>\nBass: John Campbell<br \/>\nDrums: Chris Adler<\/p>\n<p>The North American tour will continue through the end of November.<\/p>\n<h3>LIVE! | Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Testament and Huntress Concert Photo Gallery<\/h3>\n<p>[nggallery id=185]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">by Jonna Ambur &#8211; Senior Photojournalist &#8212; October 26, 2013 at Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, CT. &#8212; Huntress opened the night with vengeance.
