Announcing the release of Haunted's debut EP "Bleak Midwinter", a fog-veiled take on the morbid beauty of the Earth as she crumbles beneath winter's frost, the night-veiled serenades of the black winds, and the choking greyness that seeps like a deathly purification.

Tracklisting:
    I.  Bleak Midwinter
   II. A Crimson Midnight

While the title track "Bleak Midwinter" echoes the thickening mist of a seasonal depression; the choking sense of death that plummets with the fallen winter through its suffocatingly dense tones, "A Crimson Midnight" polarisingly explores a nostalgic haze of silver and red, the strangeness, the melancholy and the blissful torture of it all, crawling into more obscure sonic routes as weeping strings are weaved with eerie theremins and bloodcurdling horror organs. A blissfully melancholic soundtrack to the pouring Nykterian rain...

"Bleak Midwinter" is available to listen to for free on YouTube. Free downloads are available on Bandcamp, and from the weekend will also be available for a name your price donation if you wandering, haunted beings wish to support my musical endeavours. Over summer, some unique and highly limited tshirts and merch bundles will hopefully be released if you wish to cloak yourself in the glittering void. All of your support is immeasurably appreciated 💜

Lyrics to the "Bleak Midwinter" EP are available on the official Haunted site (here, under Lyrics) if you wish to decipher the wash of starless noise I create.


"Bleak Midwinter" is one of 3 small, conceptually inspired EPs Haunted plan to release by summer 2019, accompanied by "Under Stars and Waves" (due late April) and "The Marcid Sky That Glistens" (due by May). Some limited t-shirts and small unique merch bundles will become available on Haunted's Bandcamp over late spring bleeding into summer if you haunted souls wish to cloak yourselves in the glittering void. A highly limited edition physical compilation album might also be released into the aether this summer.

Make sure to subscribe Haunted's YouTube channel and turn on notifs to catch all my releases as soon as they come out. You can also 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 blog updates, lyrics, artwork, conceptual inspirations of songs and other info for the audience, maybe some Q+As in the future if the stars align..

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.
