HAUNTER Discarnate Ails CD

There's a corner of extreme metal where black, death, and screamo collapse into each other so completely that genre tags stop meaning anything useful. Haunter live in that corner, and Discarnate Ails is them at their most uncompromising.

Released in 2022, this Dallas outfit's third full-length is the kind of record that demands repeat listens before it gives anything up. It's chaotic but deliberate, suffocating but weirdly transcendent, sitting somewhere in the same dark aesthetic space as Deathspell Omega's liturgical dissonance and Ulcerate's rhythmic punishment. If you've been sleeping on Haunter, this is the entry point that'll wreck your listening habits for a month.
