VI.BE

Haiden is a trio from Ghent (Belgium). Their music is a blend of post-metal, doom and sludge, with a touch of stoner, noise and some psychedelic influences.

Haiden started as a two piece. Pepijn (guitar) and Frank (drums) started a new band after the split of death metal band Welkin (RIP 2010). In 2013, Tom joined on guitar: Haiden became a three piece (two guitars and drum). They had their first try-out gig in 2014 at SunBakedSnowCave in Ghent (Belgium).

In 2015, Haiden recorded their first EP “HAIDEN”, released as a digisleeved CD in 2016. The music was recorded live and was mixed and mastered by the band.

EP review - Gonzo Circus

"Instrumentale muziek die op een verlaten kruispunt zit van mathrock, noiserock, postmetal, doom en sludge. Haiden sleurt de luisteraar zijn trip binnen en slaagt erin inventief en origineel te klinken. [...] Bij Haiden horen we echter in elke noot de drang om zich te profileren en er een ferme lap op te geven. Niet tegengehouden door genregrenzen doet het trio gewoon zijn ding."
