The Haunt

Originating from the West Coast, Haunt functions as a hard rock and heavy metal four-piece that evokes the grandeur, sonic force, and harmonized guitar patterns of New Wave of British Heavy Metal legends including Judas Priest, Angel Witch, and Iron Maiden.

Formed in Fresno, California, the quartet started as a solo project for former Beastmaker vocalist/guitarist Trevor William Church before expanding to feature guitarist and backing vocalist John Tucker, likewise an ex-member of Beastmaker, plus bassist Taylor Hollman and drummer Daniel Wilson. Haunt released the EP Luminous Eyes in 2017, then delivered the full-length Burst into Flame in 2018 on Shadow Kingdom Records. The band returned swiftly to the studio for the second EP Mosaic Vision in early 2019, followed by the sophomore album If Icarus Could Fly that May. Their third album Mind Freeze appeared less than a year later.
