2011, Born from a shared passion for metal music in all its forms, Cardiff-based band Hunted began life as a four-piece covering the bands that first inspired them to play. The band's early quest to develop their own unique sound led to several changes of personnel but developed over time into the rock-solid core of guitarist Steve Barberini, bassist Jon Letson, drummer Matt Thomas and vocalist Chris G. Taking influences ranging from Dream Theater and Iron Maiden through to Opeth and Blind Guardian, Hunted distil the essence of their inspirations into a new and powerful direction for metal music.
