Biography

William Martin "Will" Hunt (born September 5, 1971) is an American musician who has served as drummer of the band Evanescence, Dark New Day, Skrape, ELI, Static-X and Black Label Society, just to name a few. Hunt was in Skrape until 2004 and Black Label Society until 2011. Both were signed to major record labels. In 2008, Hunt filled in for Tommy Lee with the Crue tour when Lee suffered from tendonitis. Hunt has also played live with Slaughter, Vince Neil, and many more. During 2007, Hunt recorded with bloodsimple and Static-X. In May 2007, Hunt was named as a replacement for the departed Rocky Gray of Evanescence, and remained with the group through their The Open Door album tour, which ended in December 2007. He remained active with Dark New Day while playing with Evanescence. Hunt performed with Evanescence in their 2009 one-off show at the Maquinaria Festival in São Paulo, Brazil.

Hunt joined Tommy Lee's rap metal side-project Methods of Mayhem as the drummer for their 2010 A Public Disservice Announcement album and tour. Though he was intended to appear with the band on tour promoting the album, he was replaced with Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose.

It was announced in 2010 that Hunt would be the new drummer for Crossfade's third album, We All Bleed. Originally thought to be a permanent member, it was confirmed Hunt was only temporary with Crossfade's recent announcement of Mark Castillo joining on drums.

On Friday, December 10, Hunt was named as the new Drummer for Eye Empire. He replaced original Empire drummer Garrett Whitlock, while Morgan Rose of Sevendust played drums on Eye Empire's debut record, Moment of Impact (which also features guest vocals by fellow Sevendust member Lajon Witherspoon).
On February 2011, Hunt rejoined Evanescence when the band started pre-production of their third album. He is now a full-time member of the band.
In May 2011, it was announced that Hunt would be taking over drumming duties for the current scheduled Staind tour dates, taking place of the original drummer, Jon Wysocki.
