Band’s Journey and Evolution:

Formed in 1994, Haystack has consistently evolved, releasing influential albums like ‘The Sacrifice,’ ‘Slave Me,’ and ‘Right at You.’ Their music, fusing elements from AC/DC to Killing Joke and Joy Division, showcases their unique place in the rock landscape.

Album’s Unique Sonic Experience:

‘Doomsday Goes Away’ offers a rich auditory journey with its dual versions. The studio recordings, available on all major streaming platforms, deliver a raw, gravel-polished sound that captures the essence of Haystack’s powerful noise rock.
