Welcome to album review Tuesdays here on the channel I hope you have been enjoying this series as well as everything else I've put out so far!
So tonight's review is of Haunt-Mind Freeze
Released in 2020 on Shadow Kingdom Records
So before we get into the review let me first give you guys some background history on Haunt

Haunt are an American heavy metal band from Fresno, California. The band was originally created as a solo project by Trevor William Church. As such, he is technically the only original member in the lineup. Church is also the sole songwriter and lyricist in the group.

Haunt was originally formed by Trevor William Church as a musical project to be worked on alongside his existing band Beastmaker; the project was to take on a traditional metal sound as opposed to Beastmaker's doom metal style. In 2017 Church wrote and recorded Haunt's debut release, the extended play Luminous Eyes, with Daniel Wilson playing drums for the recording. It was first released digitally, as an independent release, but it later received physical releases from the Shadow Kingdom Records label.

In 2018, Church wrote and recorded one single for Haunt, Ghosts. Later that same year, Haunt released their first full-length studio album, Burst into Flame. Daniel Wilson returned to play drums for the album, this time as an official band member. Joining Church and Wilson for the album were Matthew Wilhoit on bass and John Tucker on guitar. Both Wilson and Tucker would stay as permanent members, but Wilhoit would be replaced by Taylor Hollman on following releases.

In 2019, Haunt released their second EP, (Mosaic Vision) their second studio album, (If Icarus Could Fly) and two split albums. (A Fool's Paradise / On the Streets Again and Sea of Dreams / The Crystal Temple). The following year they released their third and fourth studio albums, titled Mind Freeze and Flashback respectively, as well as the Burst into Demos compilation!

Alright so lets get into the review now
So the album opens up with “Light The Beacon” and I'm instantly reminded of Black Sabbath meets iron maiden but with some priest thrown in for good measure. However this band has their entire own sound and approach to their art. The emotional complexity of this is incredible. Though the lyrical content is centered around Fantasy, The supernatural and witchcraft, the authenticity in its expression and metaphorical content is astounding. Riffs and drum work take you into its deep world of fantasy and magic as it transcends from one peak into the next complete with all of its nuances and valley’s. The instrumentation is obviously influenced from old school traditional heavy metal and the production is as well because this is NOT overly clean. This sounds like it came from the 80s and rightfully so because that’s what this is man. 80s driven fantasy metal but was released in 2020. This is an absolute incredible, original and fresh opener and its incredibly epic as well. Killer song

Next up is the faster and quite a bit heavier “hearts on fire” which has some incredible power metal driven rhythm sections and speed and slightly thrashy guitar riffs but carry that strong sense of melody and 80s power/speed metal significance. The drumming is fast and frantic but also offers enough diversity to keep you interested for the entire albums duration and the combination of heavy metal, power and speed metal make this a deadly combination. The originality and emotional output really shine through on this one. Complete with fantasy driven keyboard work that really adds to the albums overall atmosphere and feel. This is another amazing fucking song as well!
