After the thrill has gone

Alright, here’s an obscure one for you. THE HUNT out of Toronto, Canada. A three piece known only to few rockers around the world. But what I read online, they toured in Texas quite a few times and also had a strong fanbase in upstate New York. This is their third album and it is somewhat different from their first two more Progressive Rock like, records. Here they play it heavier, but always with a melodic touch. Paul Dickinson (Guitar/Vocals), Carl Calvert (Bass/Vocals) and Paul Kersey on Drums formed THE HUNT in 1977. Sadly The Thrill of the Kill was their last regulary album. It was followed only by a best of album in 1985, but at the time of release, the band already has folded. Best Tracks: You in the night, Time goes on, The Hills, Wishing Well. Worst Song: Fire (a completely unnecessary cover of the classic Arthur Brown Tune). Released in 1982.
