HEADHUNTER Issues Release Date for "Parasite of Society"

Candlelight Records in cooperation with AFM Records confirms June 10 as the US release date for Parasite of Society, the new album from reformed German trio Headhunter. Featuring the famed line-up of Schmier (Destruction), Schmuddel (Talon) and Jorg Michael (Saxon/Stratovarius), Parasite to Society is an instant throwback to classic German metal. It is the bands first new recording in nearly 13 years.

Schmier (vocalist/bassist) is the man behind the engine. His persona and drive is what has made Destruction the musical force it has come to be appreciated for nearing two decades. With Headhunter, the metal icon is given opportunity to reach outside his normal musical environment; more power than thrash and adding an immediately identifiable dash of humor. Parasite of Society is a classic good time in waiting.

Headhunter are a confirmed a special performer at this summers Wacken Open Air Festival. Track listing for Parasite of Society includes: 3rd Man Introduction, Parasite of Society, Silverskull, Remission, Doomsday for the Prayer, 18 and Life, Read My Lips, Backs to the Wall, Egomaniac, The Calling, Payback Time.
