Embodying the brooding, vengeful character of the John Wick saga, ‘Haunted’ feels fierce and bold, and rather anthemic. A slice of clean and relentless melodic heavy metal, the record sees creative Brian Hunsaker pen an absolute jewel, a piece that’s haunting yet hard-hitting, reflective and gloomy, yet expansive and explosive. Echoing the likes of Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Disturbed, and Nightwish, among others, ‘Haunted’ will certainly resonate with a like-minded audience out there.
A gifted singer and guitarist, Hunsaker reveals all of his instrumental and musical prowess in the record, with malleable, advanced vocals functioning as a striking counterpoint to Brian’s slick, virtuoso guitar solos. Sure, the Dallas-based artist is not reinventing the wheel, yet he’s spinning it in a personal way, unveiling a heavy and vibrant tune that’s hard to resist. Acclaimed producer Matt Dougherty takes care of mixing duties.
Delving deeper into ‘Haunted’, Brian Hunsaker reiterates: “‘Haunted’ is about being stalked by unseen forces — whether literal or psychological. It’s the feeling of always being followed by something unresolved. The music had to be just as massive and relentless.” Mission accomplished: ‘Haunted’ is a high-octane, intense aural journey, one that we won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
