Featured Band:
This week's episode features Burn It Down from Haine.
Haine started off in late 2017 by Claudio (bass,) and the then original guitarist, who recruited Chris (vocals) and Konrad (drums). All members have quite a longstanding role in the Maltese local metal scene with other acts such as Abysmal Torment, ClubMurder, Repugnance and Fallen Icon and it was time for a Maltese band to venture into deathcore territory, which was quite lacking at that point. The “project” soon cemented itself as an up and coming band in the local metal scene and after the first the band had a line up-change in mid-2019 with James and Jack joining as permanent guitarists. The band immediately started working on the first debut self-titled EP, which has been recently released in January 2021. The aim of the band has always been to forgo all perceived notions and pre-existing scene stereotypes to create their own brand of extreme music and most importantly, to play some crushing breakdowns! Haine’s music is a reflection of such a great opportunity to take on diverse musical influences and merge them into a new sound. This has resulted in deeply layered sound combining heavy grooves and innovative breakdowns punctuated by melodic overtones. Despite Haine having deep-roots within the Deathcore approach to music writing, the aim has always been to come up with a new and fresh take on an ever-evolving style of music.
What Haine is drinking:
Malta is the proud brew house for the “Cisk Lager”. Golden in colour, it is a bottom-fermented lager, with an alcohol content of 4.2%, with a bold and refreshing taste on the palate. It is well balanced, not too bitter but not dilute and can hold its own against many of the more well-known global brands. This is the pride and joy of all Maltese beer-lovers. The company recently delved into brewing craft beers also, such as the Blue Label Amber Ale, Double Red Strong Ale and unfortunately the discontinued Farsons India Pale Ale (IPA). As a band, we of course local Cisk Lager either during rehearsals, recording, live gigs, everywhere really. Claudio is the craft beer connoisseur and just loves his hoppy-beers such as The Crew (Hop Junkie), Wayward IPA, Black IPA Thawack and Hobgoblin IPA among an infinite array of other hoppy beers!
