Haunt - Burst Into Flame (LP)

Hailing from the United States, Haunt began as the work of modern renaissance man Trevor William Church. Son of Montrose / Sammy Hagar solo bassist Bill The Electric Church, the California native came to prominence as the vocalist/guitarist of doom-lords Beastmaker, who've released two critically acclaimed albums on Rise Above.

As Haunt, Church went solo and created a bewitching brew of classic, turn-of-the-'80s heavy metal, drawing deeply from the momentous NWOBHM movement. Fans and critics all agreed, and quickly: Haunt is heavy metal heaven, and Church's brilliance has only just begun.
