The San Francisco-based four-piece doesn’t come off like they’re attempting to emulate the bands of the early-to-mid-’80s so much as their chuggy, infectious sound channels the things that made that era exciting in the first place. More so, Hell Fire walk the thin line that is speed metal, adding extra momentum to classic heavy metal riffs rather than going hard on punk’s aggression and misanthropy, which puts them in the same category as rare acts like Raven and Exciter.</p><h2><br><strong>TANITH</strong></h2><p>(<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanithnyc.bandcamp.com/">bandcamp</a> / <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/TanithNYC">facebook</a> / <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/tanithnyc">instagram</a>)</p><p>—</p><p>There is perhaps no band keeping the spirit and sound of 70s hard rock and heavy metal alive more so than Tanith. Formed in 2017, the band embraced that era wholeheartedly, resulting in 2019's aptly titled In Another Time, which instantly earned cult status and put them on the map. Now, they return with Voyage, picking up where they left off and once again demonstrating their mastery when it comes to this niche. "I wanted more of the same but different in some marginal way," explains vocalist/guitarist Russ Tippins (also of Satan). "Voyage is the sound of the universe speaking to mankind through the medium of Tanith. Or, if you like, twin-guitar heavy rock with dual singers which, if you grew up in the 1970s, will make you want to bounce over to the nearest record store. On a space hopper."</p><p></p><h2><br><strong>HAUNT</strong></h2><p>(<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://hauntthenation.bandcamp.com/">bandcamp</a> / <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/hauntthenation">facebook</a> / <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/hauntthenation/">instagram</a>)</p><p>—</p><p>Haunt started off in Fresno California in 2017 as a solo project by Trevor William Church originally from the band Beastmaker. Trevor made the bands first release an EP named Luminous Eyes released in late 2017. Shortly after that Trevor would recruit second guitarist John Tucker who was also from the band Beastmaker, and then hire Daniel Wilson on drums. With this lineup the full length album “Burst Into Flame” was released in 2018 and managed to make it to the 11th spot on The Rolling Stones list of best metal album of 2018. Gimme Radio declared it the album of the year.<br></p><p>The band went through several bassists but haven’t had an official one until bassist Taylor Hollman came up. Now the lineup is complete and the band can play live. With this lineup the band would record the album “If Icarus Could Fly” and the EP “Mosaic Vision”. Also during this time the band would tour with Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, Idle Hands, and Hellfire as support.<br></p><p>In 2019 the band recorded the album “Mind Freeze”. The album managed to make it to the cover of Decibel Magazine. Haunt during this time would tour with the band Seven Sisters from England. They were going to tour the USA with Satan, NightWitch, and Bewitcher but due to Corona virus the band band had to postpone the tour.</p>
