Saturnine (EP) by Haunted - Out December 30 - and He Called Me Grey [Demo]

Greetings internet coven,

Haunted announce their return with a melancholy-dipped EP entitled Saturnine, to be released on December 30, 2020 via Bandcamp for free / NYP donation, with streaming to be available on Youtube.

Tracklisting:
I. Noire
II. Venus In Retrograde

III. Moonpool

IV. They Took Me To The Stars

After taking a lengthy pause on the project to regather my sanity and dissolve the ashen shroud of disinspiration, Saturnine was written and recorded between June - October of 2020 in response to an undying stream of worthlessness lingering about one's body, the feeling of falling between worlds and decaying in a dim web of stars and voids. With a much looser concept than previous Haunted EPs, Saturnine was inspired by bouts of entrapment and indefinitely-stretched moments of comatasia, subduing life into monochrome array of faltering light and bleak horizons.

As with all of Haunted's releases, Saturnine meanders the sub-genres of black metal, with essences of atmospheric, post-black / blackgaze and DSBM, bleeding together moments of gentle sparsity with cadaverous cacaphony on a venture to find some sense of nirvana within this free-falling Earth. *cue obligatory rant on unachievable perfectionistic standards of music production that cripple my sense of adequacy and shittiness (i will never be happy with the mix but hey whats new)*

He Called Me Grey [DEMO]
OUT NOW
Bandcamp / Youtube

The thick matte of cobwebs across Haunted's discography and social media is being dusted off; to all of you half-dead and starving critters that have been tangled in the abandoned web for the last year and a half - here's a new corpse for you to feed on: He Called Me Grey [Demo] is out now on Bandcamp and Youtube! A disparate track on hollowness and atrophy in what should be a flourishing place, He Called Me Grey is a song of labyrinthine sadness that stains the wholesome, while suffocating beneath swathing clouds of thoughtlessness and fear to think, lest funereal reality seeps back in again..

Thanks for all your support on Haunted's previous releases which are all available for free / NYP download on Haunted's Bandcamp, or free for you to stream / convert from Youtube. As a small, self-funded, untouring and not-very-promoted project, the support from you coven of weirdos has been immense and I express my immeasurable gratitude to those of you who have been lingering patiently, waiting for a new release :) Here ya!

Cheers,

Hysteria
