"Alpha Tauri" is atmospheric prog metal with several dynamic and textural changes led by theatrical riffs and Janus' alternately declamatory and wistful signing. The prog elements in "Receiver," with Janus soaring to the top of her range, are another highlight, with the guitars staggering their riff interplay and the rhythm section deftly cueing the various different segments. "Blood Sisters" is melodic, thrashing death metal with infectious choruses and chugging twin-guitar riffing.

The album is full of killer, complex, memorable riffs, perversely knotty guitar solos, propulsive drumming, and Jill Janus singing and snarling with real authority. There are four tracks in the center of the album - "Destroy Your Life," the title cut, "Zenith," and "Oracle" - that draw heavily on classic late-'70s and early-'80s metal, and directly from prime-era Iron Maiden and Judas Priest (there's even a bonus-track cover of the latter's "Running Wild" from Stained Glass). Starbound Beast is superior in almost every way. Alden (always a more proficient rhythm player) and drummer Carl Werzbicky provide a tough yet elastic bottom end. Together, they provide wonderfully creative foils for one another. The band changed all this with loads of hard work, relentless touring, playing small clubs and festivals, and a personnel change: bassist Eric Harris left to focus on Gypsyhawk, while one of Huntress' two guitarists, Ian Alden, switched to bass, and Anthony Crocamo was brought in to assist Blake Meahl.

The criticisms focused on the sameness of the material, the generic riffing, and the use of their female vocalist's sex appeal to garner attention. Huntress got a lot of attention in the metal press for their debut full-length Spell Eater in 2011, but garnered wildly mixed reviews. Recording information: Hobby Shop Studios, Highland Park, CA. Personnel: Jill Janus (vocals) Blake Meahl, Ant "Pockets" Crocamo (guitars) Carl Wierzbicky (drums).
