Two New Demos Released!


Haunted's latest releases Sadness and The Last Dim Light I Breathe are now available to listen to on  YouTube and Bandcamp for free! These two polarising demos form half of an upcoming EP, Under Stars and Waves, due to be released this spring.

Sadnessa depressive / atmospheric piece on choking night-veiled loneliness, a freezing existence, and desperate needs for comfort, delicately laces peace with torturous melancholy through its tidal waves of emotion, experimenting on the polarity of emotions - how embers of hope introduced to a hopeless song can emphasise the misery rather than expected upliftment.

The Last Dim Light I Breathe is a rawer take on more morbid affairs surrounding Beachy Head - the burdening atmosphere of the cliffs' peaks, choked with death; an image of the last moments of thundering pulse atop the hazy pearlescent cliffs.

Thank you for your initial support of my releases! Some more tracks will be coming out in a week or two, followed by two EP's in April/May. Stay updated with Haunted's activity through Twitter and subscribe to the YouTube channel to catch all of my releases. I'm

An Update on Future Releases..

Hi internet

I have a lot of songs in the works at the moment which I'm excited to be releasing over the next few weeks and months. A handful of haunting songs will be uploaded sporadically singularly on YouTube and Bandcamp before two small EP releases due for April / May.

Sadness artwork
The next track I plan to release will most likely be out by Sunday. Entitled 'Sadness', it is a song about the tidal waves of being amid a haze of solitude and tired night-veiled wishes for comfort. Musically flowing between the beautifully sparse and the burying, Sadness is a somewhat more delicate piece, using moments of hope to later emphasise the scenes of drowning hopelessness.

Another track that should be coming out very soon, 'The Last Dim Light I Breathe', will be a raw take on the breathless scenery atop Beachy Head, a walk beneath the blanket of sombre grief that chokes the air above its peaks. As dense and as morbid as the grey fog of a cliff edge, this song is soaked in my nightmares.

Thank you for all your initial support on this project and Haunted's debut single Bleak Midwinter :) Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and turn on notifs to catch all my releases as soon as they come out, follow me on Twitter and sub to the official Haunted site to be updated with all Haunted's activity. Here on the Haunted site I will also be posting lyrics, artwork before release, conceptual inspirations of songs and other song info for the audience.

Cheers,

Bleak Midwinter Debut Single Release

Bleak Midwinter single: out now

Haunted announce the release of their debut single, Bleak Midwinter, available to listen to for free on YouTube and Bandcamp.

This song was written as a reflection of the death and sombre darkness that the winter brings as she plummets, the greyness she bleeds upon the Earth and her dense, smothering fog that burdens the air and mind.

Haunted is a new black metal / blackgaze project created by myself, Hysteria, a sole female musician, who is conceptually inspired to make music that weaves the polarising beauty and misery of existence together into atmospheric musical pieces, attempting to find peace with the mind, nature and being through confrontation of the void.

Bleak Midwinter will also be released on a two song EP, also titled Bleak Midwinter, later this spring.  I also have plans for a second EP to follow Bleak Midwinter, so make sure to subscribe to the website at the end of the page to be informed of all Haunted's activity. More details of releases and dates will be posted here on the official Haunted website once confirmed.

Here's to the dark, winding journey ahead.
