Hauntress is a genre-bending heavy act formed in 2019 by vocalist/guitarist K. Cullen Hart, bassist Sam Zettell, and drummer Richard Straub. Blending traditional heavy metal with early 90s grunge, gothic/doom textures, and mid-2000s indie rock, the trio crafts a sound that’s both heavy and emotionally expansive. Since joining Weathervane Music’s Recorder’s Club in 2020, Hauntress has pursued meticulous songwriting and recording processes that emphasize authenticity and craftsmanship. Fans appreciate the band’s raw energy and cinematic mood, which translate live into immersive shows that resonate from intimate venues to festival stages.
