Huntsmen

We sat down with Kirill Orlov, Chris Kang, and Marc Stranger-Najjar of Huntsmen to talk shop about their upcoming release “Mandala of Fear” (via Prosthetic Records) — this monster of an album oozes Americana through some down-home Midwestern steel.

Here’s a special select handful of the many Chicago metal bands charging forth into the national scene; from blackened grindy goodness to post-metal transcendence, The Windy City achieves it all.

We were there Friday and Saturday nights for the absolute best showcase of Chicago metal talent yet, featuring 11 bands including Without Waves, REZN, Varaha, and more.

We prep all the details for this weekend’s inaugural Forever Deaf Fest, a celebration of Chicago heavy metal.

Invisible Oranges is excited to announce a partnership with Forever Deaf Fest in Chicago on December 7th and 8th — the best of Chicago’s heavy metal talent will be on display.
