Rock siblings The Haunt, Anastasia Grace Haunt [vocals] and Maxamillion “Max” Haunt [vocals, guitar, production], unveil their latest single “Own Me” featuring alt heavyweight Mod Sun. The powerful new track delves deep into the emotional weight of mental illness, spotlighting a darker, more introspective corner of the band’s forthcoming debut album, New Addiction, due out July 25 via Nettwerk. Listen HERE and watch HERE.

“‘Own Me’ is about the different struggles that come with anxiety and depression. It’s really hard to keep your pain to yourself and not let it get onto the people you love. You don’t want the people you love and care about to have to carry the burden of your sadness, but it also gets really lonely, always being stuck in your head. With depression, it always feels like if you let yourself get close to someone, sooner or later, they’ll be overwhelmed by you. For me, my anxiety and mental illness have always been something that controlled my life and have kept me scared from really living… I’ve always felt out of place, too shy and quiet and always right on the verge of freaking out,” explains Ana.

On New Addiction, The Haunt brings their darkness into the light, spinning tales of depression, dead-end relationships, anxiety, and the toils of the modern world. The heavy topics are showcased in the album’s released singles “Own Me,” “Going Under,” “Bad Omen,” “Teeth,” “New Addiction,” and “Masochistic Lovers” (featuring Craig Mabbitt of Escape the Fate), the latter of which is currently shooting up the Active Rock charts at #30. Produced by Kevin Thrasher (blink-182, Jelly Roll), the LP is a bold step forward for the band’s evocative brand of rock, bolstered by supersonic sheen, and Anastasia’s poignant vocals.
