The band known as Haint began when bassist Darren and guitarist Ian realised, they lived quite close to each other and had nothing better to do. Songs quickly began to form but something was lacking, mainly a drummer... after a few years of searching, with some other friends dipping their toes as second guitar, a chance chat between Ian and Steve led to the line-up being complete and sweet music being made. Blending crushing heaviness with sweet harmonies, dynamics and soundscapes, Haint are carving out their own little corner of the Northern Irish metal scene.
Haint played at Bloodstock Open Air on the New Blood stage in 2022.
