Haste The Day – Dissenter
Solid State Records
10,0/10,0
Brief:
Life’s cycles often bring us back to where we started with the benefit of time, experience, and wisdom.
In this spirit, Haste The Day have come full circle. The Indiana-bred band—Stephen Keech [vocals], Scott Whelan [guitar], Dave Krysl [guitar], Giuseppe Capolupo [drums], Michael Murphy [bass], and Brennan Chaulk [guitar]—rekindle and reignite the spark at the heart of their signature style by sharpening the edges, tightening the melodies, and amplifying the scope with cinematic ambition. Returning with their first full-length release in eleven years, the musicians tap into who they were and push forward together on their seventh LP, Dissenter [Solid State Records].
To this day, a shared ethos forever binds the members. Haste The Day have clung to this sort of integrity since initially emerging at the turn of the century. Following Burning Bridges [2004] and When Everything Falls [2005], Stephen made his formal debut as the group’s frontman on Pressure The Hinges [2007]. The band unleashed a trio of fan favorite offerings, namely Dreamer [2008], the seminal Attack Of The Wolf King [2010], and Coward [2015]. The latter marked their second straight Top 20 entry on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart and second Top 10 on the Hard Rock Albums Chart. Along the way, they toured with everyone from Hollywood Undead to Norma Jean. Despite going dormant in 2016, they amassed tens of millions of streams and continued to resonate with an ever-expanding audience. As such, their 2023 reunion gig at the sold-out Furnace Fest was met with overwhelming enthusiasm.
Galvanized by their return to the stage, the guys hit the studio and recorded in earnest with Stephen at the helm as producer. Throughout the process, a central concept evolved, and the LP’s eleven songs effectively told a story.
Ultimately, this cycle of Haste The Day embodies who they always were and will be as a band.
