4. Profile:
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, sheung, 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, temporarily titled “the dark side of the room”. With the shocking image and their unusual music style among the local music scene, the band is definitely an alternative entertainment to any audience.
