Fort Lauderdale sibling duo Anastasia and Maxamillion Haunt channel industrial metal, alt-rock, and gothic punk into a darkly theatrical sonic vision that wields heaviness as both weapon and catharsis. Their blend of screamo aggression and harmonic vocals, wrapped in a gothic visual aesthetic, has drawn praise from Kerrang! for its 'riot grrrl attitude' and punk vibrancy. Tours with Palaye Royale and their debut LP 'New Addiction' have established The Haunt as a rising force in the intersection of dark rock and modern metal.
The High Confessions are a Chicago-based supergroup formed in 2009 around an unlikely convergence of experimental music veterans: industrial vocalist Chris Connelly (Ministry, Revolting Cocks), Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, metal producer Sanford Parker (Minsk, Nachtmystium), and engineer Jeremy Lemos. Their debut album Turning Lead into Gold (2010) on Relapse Records is a brooding, drone-heavy document of post-rock experimentation informed by each member's industrial and metal background, described by critics as evocative and textural rather than aggressive. The project represented a rare cross-pollination of Chicago's disparate underground scenes.
