The Hunt is a Melodic Death Metal band originally from Redwood City, California, known regionally for their unique blend of Bay Area attitude with classic Gothenburg-style Melodeath. Formed in 2016, the band is fronted by Tony Rauser, features world class lead guitarist Cameron Stucky (Darkness Everywhere, Crepuscle, Sea in the Sky), Jacob Lauing (Phantom Code, ex-Terrestria) on drums / backing vocals and Dan Saltzman (Illucinus, Fleshspoil) on bass. Influenced by iconic bands across the genre like At The Gates, In Flames, Children Of Bodom, and others, The Hunt brings a unique blend of intense guitar riffs, victorious melodies, and aggressive, dynamic vocal interplay to the stage. 

The Hunt's lyrics often explore themes of survival, death, triumph, the human experience, and much more.
