Haest are from Hastings, UK and they are releasing their debut full length with TNSRecords. What we get here are 14 songs of hardcore punk fun, the songs being pretty short in duration. Haest play hardcore punk in the basic underlayer, but they are mixing doom and even some sludgy elements in the song structures, so I was pleasently surprised when Unstable Picnic started slowly rolling in, with pretty dark atmosphere of the song riffs. There are more fast straightforward songs with thundering bass, great guitar and drums, but the song titles made me really smile, with titles like The Only Good Wham Is A Wham Bar, or maybe Doom & Gloom & Dio Room you just can˙t go wrong hehe. The vocals are shouted and remind a lot of eighties doom metal bands, but hey that is just only me. It would sure be fun to catch these guys live, the show is fantastic, I am sure!
