ROCK GODDESS OF THE YEAR – JILL JANUS! Vote here: http://bit.ly/HuntressLW

Huntress vocalist Jill Janus has been nominated as Rock Goddess of the Year by Loudwire! She joins powerhouse nominees Angela Gossow – Arch Enemy, Amy Lee – Evanescence, Christina Scabbia – Lacuna Coil, Emily Armstrong – Dead Sara, Lzzy Hale – Halestorm, and Maria Brink – In This Moment.

Janus had this to say about the nomination: “Thank you Loudwire for the Rock Goddess of the Year nomination! I was stunned to find myself in the company of such established front women. Huntress released our debut album ‘Spell Eater’ less than eight months ago, so this is quite the honor. To quote an American film classic; “We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!” Huntress will take this show of faith and work viciously to earn metal fans respect for many years to come. Hail Heavy Metal!”
