The band known as Haint began around 6 years ago when Bassist Darren and Guitarist Ian realised, they lived quite close to each other and had nothing better to do. Songs quickly began to form but something was lacking, mainly a drummer… after a few years of searching, with some other friends dipping their toes as second guitar, a chance chat between Ian and Steve led to the line-up being complete and sweet music being made. Blending crushing heaviness with sweet harmonies, dynamics and soundscapes, Haint are carving out their own little corner of the Northern Irish metal scene.
This story is only just beginning………. Haint are: Ian Booth – Guitar/Vocals Darren Lavery – Bass/Vocals Steve Hobson – Drums Bloodstock, wow. It’s an honour to have been chosen to play. As music fans we have seen many of our hero’s play at Bloodstock and on a local level, personally knowing some of the previous winners of Metal2themasses, we have had an amazing insight into just how incredible the whole weekend is. The integrity of the Bloodstock organisers is second to none, especially given where live music has been the last two years.
We are incredibly privileged and can’t wait to showcase Haint. Roll on August.
