Formed in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2016 by long-time friends and scene veterans Ian Booth (Guitar/Vocals) and Darren Lavery (Bass/Vocals), HAINT was established to craft complex, dynamic heavy music that defies easy categorization. Both members bring over 20 years of underground lineage from their previous acts, including Condemned, Neanderthal, and Stand-Up Guy. Following early lineup adjustments, HAINT cemented their live reputation by winning Metal 2 the Masses in 2022 which secured them a slot on the New Blood Stage at Bloodstock Open Air Festival for only their seventh ever live appearance. Since then, HAINT has brought its massive live presence across the UK mainland and Ireland, delivering standout sets at Hordes Festival, Siege of Limerick, and The Crypt, as well as supporting UK metal heavyweights URNE.

The band’s sonic identity draws from the heavy, complex dynamics of Meshuggah, Mastodon, and Cult of Luna, blended with the atmospheric sensibilities of Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Neurosis. Commenting on the concept behind the upcoming record, the band remark: “Every Scar Tells A Story is a culmination of our musical journey over the last three-four years. We’ve grown so much as musicians and these songs represent the best of the two of us. Lyrically, there are a lot of personal topics going on. When it came time to put the album together, Ian had gotten big into the art of kintsugi (repairing with gold) and the lyrics offered a lyrical similarity—personal journeys embedded in resilience and self-reflection.”

HAINT’s intense live shows and intricate songwriting have already earned widespread praise with press and scene tastemakers. Now with further live dates and a slew of promotional content to be announced in support of both releases, Every Scar Tells A Story marks the defining next step in HAINT’s continued evolution within the heavy underground.

Tracklisting: 1. Alecto; 2. Poison The Stream; 3. Adrift; 4. Destroyer Of Worlds; 5. Hera; 6. Unbowed.
