I just found out about her music and it made me really sad when I tried to see more about the band in the hopes of seeing them someday and watch she perform. What a shame that she has passed! Such a powerful voice. I've listened to countless other bands and this band in particular had a really peculiar thing about 'em: her voice. May she rest in peace!
@@jerryrudd4723 No she isn't because hell doesn't exist. You're a schizophrenic and need to see a doctor asap! Somebody call an ambulance for that ill person!!
@@jerryrudd4723Maybe, but Jill had a lot of issues. Depression, schizophrenia, uterine cancer, loss of memory, etc. That kind of thing would wear away anybody’s will to live.
There i s the eight of swords tarot card in the video because the lyrics relate to the card. the card symbolises self imprisonment by thoughts and perspectives, it is a bleak card of no hope and lots of dispair. she cant see she has an easy escape because she is blindfolded, to escape she needs to remove the blindfold and see things from a different point, it also to do with decission making.
@@carlhart9604 honesty after listening to a couple songs it was so obvious she was a depresssed raging bisexual. I think the song was called sorrow or something and it was literally a song about how she doesn’t know how much longer she could keep on living
R.I.P Jill I didn't listen to your music at all, but I knew of you and youre definitely an inspiration. a fellow musician striving to be great, especially a female metal vocalist is pretty tough to uphold. I'm commend you and your accolades. Rest easy
I wish I had known about Huntress before Jill had passed... What a voice on this woman. She really catches the embodiment of the Metal genre, so much talent! Rip Jill, you have my prayers...
In October 2015, Janus posted a now-deleted note on Facebook announcing the band would finish its activities, but that she would continue to make music. Lead guitarist Blake Meahl, however, dismissed her statement as a consequence of her health and mental issues, and said the band would continue to perform. On August 14, 2018, vocalist Jill Janus committed suicide outside of Portland, Oregon. RIP.
what do either of these have to do with each other? its 3 years apart. in july of 2015 she talked about her mental health issues. what sucks is that many people may have looked up to her for her bravery. I would like them to know just because she wasnt strong enough doesnt mean you cant be. She gave you hope. There is still hope. Find it. YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH.
That's a pretty outrageous statement. And your earlier comment all you've done is copy and pasted from a news article. (which you've done on more than one comment). Clearly trolling.
From the red corner... weighing in at 50,000 watts... redolent of pine needles and mountain air... hailing from Highland Park, California... spilling magick everywhere like a leaky oil pan... repping Dionysus… the reigning heavyweight Champions of Metal, HUNTRESS!!!!!
seeing them sabaton and trivium in a week so excited, i got to meet all the band and actually drink and hang out with the bassist and blake one off the guitar players on a cruise, motorboat, best experience of my life
Hey, that 8 of Swords card is from my Golden Tarot deck - only with a different back pasted on. Never imagined my work being featured in a music video :)
This $#*^ is stratospheric. You must be living in a way better universe than I am if this is par for the course where you come from. I'm curious what in your opinion would be "more than average".
One of my favorite memories is catching a show in Reno with Huntress and 3 Inches of Blood. It is truly a tragedy to hear of Jill's passing. I hope she found some sort of peace and her music will always be a part of my life.
Yea, another Female fronted band with balls in the style of Unleash the Archers. This time with a bit of rasp. Great vocals, unique style, the whole growl thing is old (for men and women) way to meet in the middle. This chicks a Banshee. Going to Amazon right now to buy CDs.
+Mrparpal I don't get the hype around this band...it's cool that you guys like them, but man the vocals are absolute shit. Easily the worst female vocals I'v ever heard in the genre. Battle Beast and Unleash the Archers blow them out of the water, it's an insult to compare them to this garbage. Must be the tits I guess...
+Voitcu Check out Battle Beast with Noora Louhimo on vocals. She's mind-blowing and has a lot of raspy, clean and vibrato-laden vocals. She's super good.
I have been a Metal/Hard Rock fan since I was 13 (47 now) I have to admit I have never heard of Huntress.. Figured I would have seen a write up at least in Revolver Magazine, unless I completely missed it?.. That being said, I freakin' dig this band now! Man it sucks this talented, gorgeous woman is gone now.. RIP Jill
Saw them open up for Sanctuary and they were amazing live!! She is extremely talented. They are definitely a band that you'll enjoy live, her voice doesn't come off as strong in this video as it does live. They are a band to look out for.
Imagine Jill, Dimebag, Jeff Hanneman, Vinnie, Lemmy, and Cliff making a band on the other side? The Devil ain't got shit on that combo. God bless you Jill, rest in peace our amazing sister of heavy music.
pAWNproductionsDE The video.. She is nothing and the the swords dances? NO huntress NEEDS this. Band and song is crrap~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~' \ BAD. There are better bands. singers. and videos... out there. I just want this one to stop. One day at a time :).
Very sad. I had favourited this song probably a couple of days after this video first came out, listened the hell out of it at the time since it just had such a unique flow to it and I hadn't heard this kind of banshee female singer before, even though I'd been into metal for several years. Still think this is one of the metal songs with the best ever final minute, just the way it builds up and ends on such a high is incredible. Had no idea she had taken her own life until I casually decided to revisit this song today and saw all the comments. RIP Jill Janus, hope you are in a better place now.
I haven't checked for "Huntress's" news for a while, and at my own surprise i found out about Jill's death. Gone too soon, you will be missed metal Goddess
When I first heard this song on Pandora, I wasn't that impressed. But it kept coming up on my playlist and I never bothered to skip it. Slowly I got into it and now it is one of my favorite car tunes. If I need to crack the stereo and rock, this song is one of my top 5 go to songs.
just found out about this band because of a brian posehn interview, only to find out the lead singer passed away!? Such an awesome voice. rest in piece
Ri Ri has a bad habit of showing the horns and has no comprehension of the meaning of or who popularised the gesture( she probably thinks Ronnie James Dio was a celebrity chef.) The pop tossers should take note that there is real talent away from cowellesque dogturd! They don't mind borrowing and stealing from the rock community (Britney Spears, fucking up Joan Jett's "I love Rock n Roll" for example, YUK) Rihanna and other popturd should take a long walk and a short drop!
I couldn't find any Huntress album on youtube to include in my rock/heavy playlist, but I had to choose this song. It is a memorable track, I remember when I found this album I listened almost everyday. What a loss, Jill Janus was a talented and promising singer. requiescat in pace :'(
Saw Huntress live at SPAC in NY this weekend which was one of the bands I was looking forward to seeing, one I can say RUclips Videos DO NOT do Jill and the crew justice at all they are awesome live and then two I can say that after meeting Jill and the crew, they are some of the coolest most chill people I have met .....GO SEE HUNTRESS you will not be disappointed ...
RIP Jill. Mental health is so important. No one should feel ashamed to talk to someone about their problems. Call the hotlines, talk to pastors or parents or trusted friends. The world doesn't want to lose you.
How did i sleep on this band? They're bad ass. Love her voice. So sad she is no longer with us. R.I.P. Jill Janus. Rest assured that your music will live on. Metal this killer is never forgotten.
Damn. If only Jill had held on she could have surpassed even Doro one day as ultimate Metal Queen. She was a dynamo. A force of nature. A female Halford. R.I.P
I remember reading about them on the greek Metal Hammer. Few months later i mover over to UK. My mom took me to HMV and there it was waiting for me to purchase the disc. Needless to say it was on a heavy rotation. So saddened to hear that she left us few years back. May the queen rest in peace
The video that opened me up to the greatest fucking band ever!!! They are working on a new album an man i cannot wait 4 that! ALL HAIL JILL JANUS!!!!!!!
So so so sad to hear about Jill. Had the chance to see them perform live and she was an incredible frontwoman. RIP Jill, praying for the rest of the band and her family
Pretty good, love the riffage, the vocals are a bit hit or miss though. Strange thing is that I was lead here by a 9/11 documentary, Jill Janus worked in the WOTW restaurant as a DJ and entertainer.
SeaOfVomit bs she can sing perfect i have been to a huntress concert. she she did an amazing job. shes no where near dios level I would never go that far though.
A song can ostensibly be about a school shooting or vampirism or serial killers or alien weed or whatever, but Huntress is unconditionally positive. And that's what makes it great art. It's metal, it holds fast to a higher Order, and it's about as addictive as oxy.
Jill... someone who will scream in our minds forever.... No matter where she's now!!

She is screaming in hell now
@@jerryrudd4723 No she isn't because hell doesn't exist. You're a schizophrenic and need to see a doctor asap! Somebody call an ambulance for that ill person!!
Some form of Valhalla, for sure.
@@jerryrudd4723Maybe, but Jill had a lot of issues.
Depression, schizophrenia, uterine cancer, loss of memory, etc. That kind of thing would wear away anybody’s will to live.
That intro scream is the thing that brings me back every time
Then listen to the scream of 2:26 - 3:04 in "Aradia" 😉
I love the final time she says "kill the heretic!" I'm like yeah let's find this guy and kill him!
Me too
She got top 9 screams
Still badass. Love this band
I'm saddened that it took the death of Jill Janus for me to hear to discover Huntress. Such a gifted, raw vocalist.
same here
Yes sad to say me too. This is my type of old school metal.
ImmortalChaos same here. If it meant for her to be alive and I never hear this band then I would take that option.
Me 2 just saw on my news feed, so thought I'd come av a listen...
Exactly this
RIP Jill. Your beautiful voice will forever be with us.
RIP Jill, the metal community will miss you
Jill- Wish you could have stayed with us longer. Hope you found the peace you were looking for

I'm in love with Napalm Records. I know that anything off of this label will be good.
Unless you're 15, most of it sucks imo.

Lol. I am 15. But this ain't bad. Look at some of that emo shit.
It's not bad. But it's not more than average either.

00:48 I love that shot! It's so harrowing but so... METAL!!!!
I can't believe she's gone may she Rest in Peace \M/ horns up for our fallen sister She has joined The Metal Gods

I saw Huntress playing as a support band for Amon Amarth in Newcastle, they were quite good.
saw this band in hollywood. this lady is fucking awesome live! she puts on a great show, love the music, badass!
The gates are rusted but the entrance yields a path,
To freedom from yourself and deep self-loathing wrath..
Rest in Peace, Jill
What the fuck are you yoda or something..

Just blowing through my list of my old Fav Female metal artists. God I'm happy that scream at the beginning is forever immortalised.
Saw them open up for Sanctuary and they were amazing live!! She is extremely talented. They are definitely a band that you'll enjoy live, her voice doesn't come off as strong in this video as it does live. They are a band to look out for.
Checking this band out for the first time. So far so good. Always sad to lose a member of the metal community. RIP
RIP Jill. Your talents will be missed.

Hanneman?
Agreed.
Don't forget Lemmy!
Agreed.
dont forget Schuldiner
2 years ago yesterday,we lost Jill.
Long live Jill Janus
RIP
RIP, Jill Janus. You were one of the few voices in metal I loved.
i dont get why this gets so much shit. a badass song by a badass band
Gideon Heuvelmans thats your opinion. i think its badass
Probably cuz the vocalist sounds lile she should be in am industrial metal band
pAWNproductionsDE The video.. She is nothing and the the swords dances? NO huntress NEEDS this. Band and song is crrap~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

That bitch has to be the least talented hack in the "music" business, makes me sick when I hear her voice.

For so many years I wanted to be you. I'll forever show anyone I meet this masterpiece. RIP you amazing lady.
Mental illness is real.

Playing with Lamb Of God at Guildhall Southampton in January? Oh man I am going to have a good night
I was at that gig 😃
Still miss Jill! Hope she's in a better and happier place now!
This is Metal to it's fullest! \m/
So sad that we can never hear her beautiful voice bellowing out new music again.
This band could have been huge had they stayed as heavy and agressive as this, but they seemed to slow down later on. Anyway, RIP Jill Janus.
The video that opened me up to the greatest fucking band ever!!! They are working on a new album an man i cannot wait 4 that! ALL HAIL JILL JANUS!!!!!!!
BADASSERY!
So so so sad to hear about Jill. Had the chance to see them perform live and she was an incredible frontwoman. RIP Jill, praying for the rest of the band and her family
She is a killer to see live!
Absolutely \m/
she has great energy
Oh Jill, im happy i got to see you live. Wish you were still on our plane.
RIP JILL!
RIP Jill! Dine well in Valhalla! You earned it
Pretty good, love the riffage, the vocals are a bit hit or miss though. Strange thing is that I was lead here by a 9/11 documentary, Jill Janus worked in the WOTW restaurant as a DJ and entertainer.
Me too. I'd never heard of Jill Janus until I saw that documentary.
She reminds of Dio, with boobies.
So would you rate this song 8/11 swords?
+My Mum Mate I hope you're joking...she can't sing for shit. Way to insult a deceased legend there guy...
SeaOfVomit bs she can sing perfect i have been to a huntress concert. she she did an amazing job. shes no where near dios level I would never go that far though.
A song can ostensibly be about a school shooting or vampirism or serial killers or alien weed or whatever, but Huntress is unconditionally positive. And that's what makes it great art. It's metal, it holds fast to a higher Order, and it's about as addictive as oxy.
I love this song! especially huntress.
she was the best, too sudden and tragic, great loss to modern metal. RIP Jill
Wow, what a voice! :)
RIP jill. I hope you find and are at peace.
RIP girl💜
RIP Jill Janus. You are a legend.
Man she is an awesome vocalists
Inadequate Gerbil was*
Wow! Over a million views but only 11,000 likes? Guess people are blind to good music.
so sad to hear this, knowing that she took away her own life... #RIP
What an utter shame she had to leave so early. Will be missed and remembered as one of the best vocalists of metal
R.I.P Jill Janus
I just discovered this band. I like that the whole band is blind folded.
Amazing song!
Jil Janus sounds like she's completely insane, I mean it as a compliment. One of the few female singers I respect in the genre...
