WEST COAST MEETS WEST END TOUR

HAUNT
 

“Haunt was originally formed by Trevor William Church as a musical project to be worked on alongside his existing band Beastmaker; the project was to take on a traditional metal sound as opposed to Beastmaker's doom metal style. In 2017 Church wrote and recorded Haunt's debut release, the extended play Luminous Eyes , with Daniel Wilson playing drums for the recording. It was first released digitally, as an independent release, but it later received physical releases from the Shadow Kingdom Records label. In 2018, Church wrote and recorded one single for Haunt, Ghosts . Later that same year, Haunt released their first full-length studio album, Burst into Flame . Daniel Wilson returned to play drums for the album, this time as an official band member. Joining Church and Wilson for the album were Matthew Wilhoit on bass and John Tucker on guitar. Both Wilson and Tucker would stay as permanent members, but Wilhoit would be replaced by Taylor Hollman on following releases. In 2019, Haunt released their second EP, ( Mosaic Vision ) their second studio album, ( If Icarus CoulFly ) and two split albums. ( A Fool's Paradise / On the Streets Again and Sea of Dreams / The Crystal Temple ). The following year they released their third and fourth studio albums, titled Mind Freeze and Flashback respectively, as well as the Burst into Demos compilation.” Haunt has been featured on the cover of Decibel magazine (February 2020), featured in Rolling Stone magazine and has made numerous “top” lists, such as Rolling Stone’s top 20 metal albums of 2018 (with Haunt at number 12). The band has toured with Municipal Waste, and Toxic Holocaust as well as fellow metal travelers such as Hell Fire and Idle Hands. Haunt’s Spotify plays for 2020 reached 1 million streams.

SEVEN SISTERS

Seven Sisters – born in the depths of West London – are a band that encapsulates melodic,twin-guitar driven heavy metal. Taking the essence of the 80’s, infusing it with progressive songstructures and an effortless command of dynamics, their take on metal is both familiar and unequivocally their own. Formed in 2014, the quartet made early waves with the self-released demo tape The Warden (2014) and the Lost in Time 7” single (2015). Initially playing a relatively simplistic brand of metal influenced predominantly by the NWOBHM, these releases were backed up by regular gigging in the UK, as well as some early ventures to Europe. The band quickly began to build a reputation as a tight and energetic live unit. Their self-titled full-length debut followed in 2016, which was the their first foray into the conceptual storytelling that has since become a signature. The songs were longer, the structures more progressive and there was a higher standard of musicianship on display, but the hallmarks of what made the band’s early releases so captivating were still proudly displayed. The album was wellreceived, and led to extensive touring both at home and overseas. Off the back of this release, Seven Sisters signed to Dissonance Productions. They contributed a track to the label’s compilation British Steel - The Rising Force of British Heavy Metal in 2017, and followed this in 2018 with their critically acclaimed sophomore album The Cauldron and the Cross. This sprawling conceptual effort was a far cry from the band’s early releases, and they now had both feet firmly planted in the progressive/power metal camp. This release and thestrenuous touring that followed cemented the band’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the underground metal scene.
