Haunter
SAN ANTONIO, TX
Black metal succeeds when it feels composed and summoned, not necessarily spewn forth or thrown together with even creative haphazard. Owning to the genre’s penchant for atmospherics and abstraction — two things which bleed some bands dry compositionally — writing coherent but still extreme black metal actually doubles the difficulty. Some of this feels like a balancing game (e.g. ensuring ranges of slow to fast tempos and vocals which aren’t monolithic), and one band in particular that pretty much nails the fulcrum is Texas-based project Haunter.
