Californian classic metallers HAUNT are back with the new album “Setting Course“. These dudes really stay busy! Another year rolls on by, another HAUNT album appears, like clockwork. And that’s a really welcomed event.
“Setting Course” brings Haunt’s classic double guitar riffs and ’80s inspired songwriting, however for this new album they added a little more progressive arrangements, in the way of 1982-83 NWOBHM. And works really well for them, providing fresh textures to their music.
“Setting Course” is HAUNT at full power — a blazing mix of classic NWOBHM spirit, California attitude, and Trevor William Church’s unmistakable melodic fire on vocals. From the adrenaline rush of title track “Setting Course” to the icy tension of “Buried Treasure,” and the triumphant lift of “Shadow Within,” this record carries the torch of Angel Witch, early Ozzy, and the golden era of heavy metal — but with Haunt’s modern edge.
Driven twin guitars, classic-era metal vocals, ripping solos, and massive hooks make “Setting Course” one of HAUNT’s most solid and electrifying releases. This is music built for fans who crave authentic heavy metal — anthemic, emotional, and crafted with intention.
