11th June 2014
Huntress + Battlecross

American heavy metal band HUNTRESS has hit the stage at venue 013 several times before and each time with great success. As support of DRAGONFORCE and LAMB OF GOD, the band showed the Dutch audience what they’re made of. The band's style has been characterized as classic heavy metal with influences of thrash and doom metal inspired by MERCIFUL FATE and KING DIAMOND.
