HAUNTED'S NEW EP
UNDER STARS AND WAVES
OUT APRIL 23
Hi internet,
Haunted's second EP, "Under Stars And Waves" will be out on Tuesday April 23! A small collection of songs conceptually inspired by the pearlescent cliffs of Beachy Head (Eastbourne, UK); their towering peaks suffocated by the sombre melancholia that lingers like wraiths, tired and drowned, and the sounds of the hushing sea so far below. Sonically, "Under Stars And Waves" threads elements of blackgaze, dsbm, atmospheric bm and a few other wavering strands of black metal into a moonless, bleary eyed vision of life under the stars, and death beneath the waves..
For those of you unaware of Beachy Head's tragic legacy - its soaring crumbling heights crowned with seas of wooden crucifixes have marked it the as one of the world's most popular suicide spots and sadly the UK's most popular destination. Lets just say I had an 'experience' atop the cliffs many years ago which has haunted me since; and the atmosphere that dripped in such sadness didn't leave, the clear air heaving under the looming clouds of death, bleeding all colour from the horizon.. to stand gazing at the beautiful natural world wishing to be blanketed by the glistening sea beneath - a beauty which is dimmed by stale longing, close in reach.. I wanted to capture the burdening, nostalgic haze of the cliffs which has lingered with me, and echo the morbid, fragile emotions as you stand upon the peaks drowned with everything you hate, staring at a polar opposite vision of the endless sea and sky, colourless but glimmering.. an EP made in hope to find peace with the worst moments of life and death.
That got deep real quick and I'm terrible at explaining things like this lol. To me, music is therapeutic and this EP was one of those vent pieces to empty myself of all the nostalgia and nightmares and turn it into something creative and slightly more beautiful. Trying to find peace through confrontation of the void.
Thank you for all your support on Haunted's debut EP "Bleak Midwinter" (YOUTUBE / BANDCAMP) released last week! I appreciate it immeasurably even if there's only a small number of you, a cult following is fine by me ;)
When "Under Stars And Waves" is released on Tuesday you will be able to listen on YouTube and stream for free on Bandcamp. You can download Haunted's discography for free / name your price on Bandcamp if you wish to support my strange musical endeavours; all donations will be reinvested into music creation and printing merch for summer 💜 I'm also on Twitter shitposting alone as a wise man once said.
