Formed in 2001, Headhunter was originally formed as a mobile-jamming group among the top musicians in Hong Kong’s dark music scene. With gradual popularity and departures of various members, the band steadied with the core members as it stands now – Ring, Phantom and vrank. .
Headhunter’s music style is categorized as industrial/gothic electronica and the influence of the band is obvious. Proud to be the first band of the music genre in Hong Kong, the band is currently at the final recording stage of their debut album, “the dark side of the roomâ€. Notorius for their unusual musical ideas, shocking image (supposingly to the local people) and up-yours attitude, the band is definitely an alternative entertainment to any audience.
Headhunter has released a promotional EP last year and an upcoming album will be released this year.
