The Invisible Orange presents: HAUNT with guests: TUFF DUZT and DIRTY VICARHAUNT
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.”
Haunt has been featured on the cover of Decibel magazine (February 2020), featured in Rolling Stone magazine and has made numerous “top” lists, such as Rolling Stone’s top 20 metal albums of 2018 (with Haunt at number 12). The band has toured with Municipal Waste, and Toxic Holocaust as well as fellow metal travelers such as Hell Fire and Idle Hands. Haunt’s Spotify plays for 2020 reached 1 million streams.

DIRTY VICAR
Steeped deep in the lore of the NWOBHM, Dirty Vicar brings the kind of rough-’n-ready ruckus that wouldn't be out of place sharing a stage with classic British bands like Holocaust, Diamond Head, or Tygers of Pan Tang. Hailing from Vancouver, BC, the band started as a studio-only side project in the spring of 2020. Helmed by Rob “Mule” Hughes, who writes all of the music, and Harcött handling vocals & lyrics, Dirty Vicar would go on to record three EPs: Plague of Demons (2020), Higher Roads Less Traveled (2021) and Cursed Illumination (2022).
In 2023, Dirty Vicar began a new phase, becoming a live entity with the addition of Ryan Ogg (The Deep Cove) on guitar, and composer Chris Albanese (ex-Ape War) on bass. Since making their live debut in October 2023, they’ve continued to hone their live show. Word of mouth has grown, and with it a dedicated following. They have played rooms such as LanaLou's, Red Gate, Princeton Pub, The Wolf Bar, and Captain's Cabin.
Dirty Vicar has received high-profile coverage in Decibel magazine, garnering high praise from the critics, while being mentioned in the same breath as legendary bands like Venom, Motörhead, Cirith Ungol, Riot, Raven and Hirax. Next up for Dirty Vicar? The band is currently in pre-production for their first full-length album, with an aim to see it released by spring of 2026.

MULE: Riffs, drums and percussion
