Jill Janus, Lead Singer of Metal Band Huntress DD due to suicide

[Ryback_feed_me_more]

Janus was 43 and had been the frontwoman of the band since its founding in 2009.. She was a rarity in the metal biz as even now most acts are lead by males.. Janus had ironically been an advocate for mental illness issues yet it was her own inner demons that lead to her ending her own life Thursday outside of Portland Oregon..

In case anybodys curious heres a video from their debut album

There's no irony there. She had suffered from mental illnesses for her whole life, which is why she was an advocate.

It's also why she was in a metal band.

She was actually pretty hot, especially for her age (43).

I was a metal fan back in the '80s. Kinda lost my taste for it over the years, though I still like the classic '80s stuff.

Depression is a bitch, though. No matter how successful, rich, famous, or well-liked you are, your life will be miserable if you suffer from chemical depression. I've always been thankful that I don't have that problem.
