成軍於2001年的Headhunter，是由本地少數哥德樂團Narcosis的結他手RING，在離開Narcosis，組成了一支電子迷幻樂團(SCI_)再進化而成的樂團樂團初期以RING為核心去招攬一眾遊擊隊員，以哥德的黑暗氣氛包圍著暴烈的工業搖滾再加上電子節拍及聲效去演繹，是當時本地唯一及首隊"哥德工業電子樂團"。同時, 為加強黑暗樂曲的投入感，團員們於演出中以鮮明誇張的哥德形象示人；這不單成了Headhunter的標記，更吸引了一批未懂該類音樂卻對哥德造形甚有興趣的少男少女追隨。因此每次演出必令場地妖氣沖天，如魔域一般。而部份曾參與、成長、並離去的前隊員更創立了其他暗黑工業樂團,，可見Headhunter確於音樂上承先啟後。
樂團的獨特曲風雖於初期並未為本地獨立音樂圈接受，但隨著樂團的努力及不斷提昇的努力，也漸漸獲得更多認同、得到更多不同的演出機會，例如曾於九龍灣展貿中心、上環文娛中心、蒲吧、Backstage Live Restaurant、維園Farm、 蒲窩、Underground、 香港城市大學、 香港浸會大學、 Fringe Club、 Yo Park、 Jim Bean Event、 工展會、 動漫節及各大少live house等等多不勝數的場地與場合演出。 2008年更受電橙OM兩位掌舵人--陳海琪及梁翹柏賞識， 於其開辦的網上電台主持專為Headhunter而設的清談節目， 更獲邀以開場表演嘉賓身份出席「OM東風造極： PUMA搖滾勢力揭幕禮」OM x PUMA x Sina的大型音樂表演， 同場亦有Beyond三子及溫拿樂團等知名音樂人。 是次演出更由Sina作網上全中國直播。 這令Headhunter提昇至另一高峰.
Headhunter也曾接受多個媒體訪問， 包括 Milk、 Yes、 PM Magazine、 Re:spect紙談音樂、 Cable TV、 Radiodada、 TVB、 J2等， 更受訪於TVB節目「東張西望」。 獨立哥德樂團出現於主流電視台黃金時段節目實屬奇蹟。
作品方面， 除了早期以CD-R形式發表的EP外， Headhunter亦於本地獨立合輯《Oh So...!!! Compilation》中獻出樂團主打歌《From the Dark Side》。 樂團原意於2009年推出首張大碟，但因成員變動而推遲至2011年中出版。 首張大碟《Episode》收錄了樂團出道至2009年創作的十四首歌曲，並且邀得本地電子音樂奇才Nerve Lo4為其中一首歌曲作了超迷幻的Remix version。Nerve亦為大碟作最終mastering，令樂團的聲音特質來。 敬請熱切耐心期待！
Established in 2001, Headhunter has been led by Ring, the ex-guitarist of Narcosis (one of the rare local gothic bands). Ring initially formed an electronic band called SCI_, and then gathered a group of mobile members into Headhunter. Being the first and the only local “gothic-industrial-electronica” band, Headhunter embraced the violent industrial, electronic sound effects and beats with a dark, gothic atmosphere. Besides, the band also adopted a unique, glamorous stage image as the symbol and attracted numerous of young people who were fresh to the music genre: that’s why the concert venues were always full of a dark, spooky ambience. Headhunter has been an inspiration to the other musicians that some of the previous members formed their own industrial band after they left Headhunter.
Although their unique music were not first admitted by the local indie scene, Headhunter still kept struggling for excellence and finally achieved more reorganizations and show opportunities. They have performed in various venues and events such as KITEC, Sheung Wan Civic Centre, Hang Out, Backstage Live Restaurant, Farm (Victoria Park), Warehouse, Underground, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Baptist University, Fringe Club, Yo Park, Jim Bean Event, HKBPE, ACGHK and countless live houses and bars. In 2008, Headhunter was invited by Ocean Chan and Kubert Leung, the leaders of Orange Melody, to be the regular host of an online radio talk show and the opening guest of "OM東風造極: PUMA搖滾勢力揭幕禮"-- a large scale music concert which was live broadcasted in China by Sina via Internet. All these opportunities further enhanced Headhunter to a higher level.
Besides, Headhunter was interviewed by various media including Milk, Yes!, PM Magazine, Re:spect, Cable TV, Radiodada, TVB and J2. It is still a surprise to have an independent gothic bands show up in mainstream TV programs such as Scoop (TVB).
Apart from the CD-R EP released in the early years, Headhunter has its most popular song “From the Dark Side” published in the local independent “Oh So...!!! Compilation”. Originally the band has planned to release the debut album in 2009, yet due to the change of line-up the plan has been postponed until 2011. The debut album “Episode” includes 14 songs written between 2001 and 2009 and a remix by the local electronic musician Nerve Lo4. Headhunter is honored to invite Nerve Lo4 to final master the audio recordings.
Please keep looking forward for the album with your appreciated patient!
