Band: Hunted
From: Kempen, Belgium
Their formation story:
(Marco, bass): "Each of us was already actively involved in music. Some of us had already gained experience in other bands. In August 2023, we got together and started jamming. It soon became clear that we were very much in tune with each other, so we continued. Shortly after that, Hunted was formed."
Their sound in their own words:
"We would describe our music as groovy hardcore. We look at each song very critically and all suggestions from the band members are considered and we try to build on that. Each of us has our own contribution to the group, which is what makes us so strong as a band. The bands we look up to include Terror, Trapped Under Ice, and Backtrack."
Latest release info:
"Our latest release is called False Icon, and it's also our first EP. It contains six songs, including a collaboration with Manon Haywire (The Wheel). We had a lot of fun creating this EP, and the collab with Manon really added to what we wanted to create.
"You can find False Icon on your favourite streaming services. We've also made our own behind the scene videos from the recording sessions. You can find them on our socials."
Future plans:
"We want to keep moving forward and continue working on new songs. We want to make sure that our next EP has even more groove and that we can surprise people even more. We also want to introduce people to Hunted, and are working on a small tour to start off with."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Becoming AD, Penance, Delinquency and Misled are definitely at the top of our list. We are all in for local support in the scene!"
