H.A.L.T. II 12″
H.Ä.L.T. out of Vancouver, BC recently released their second full-length 12″, affectionately entitled II. Their latest release brings more bop, more punk, and more goth to their already gloom-infested sound. The eight-song II is sonically dense with its shifting, danceable rhythms, intriguing organ/synth work, and gnarly guitar tones. Personally, the second song “Forever Dead” is my favorite with its defiant perspective, and I love how that song transitions into the spectral “Voices.” In all, this is a fantastic work of dark delights.
