HAAL are a Post-Rock band from Bristol, UK.

Combining elements of post-rock, trip-hop, and industrial music, HAAL have quickly become cult favourites in the UK live scene.
Their psychotropic blend of samples, DIY pedals, and monolithic instrumentation, has seen the band play and tour alongside the likes of Kyoto Kyoto, DITZ, Deliluh, Treeboy & Arc, Butch Kassidy and Gurriers, as well as appearing at festivals such as ArcTanGent, Dot To Dot and more. Coming off the heels of their recent singles "Janus" and "Judy" (and subsequent remixes by Water From Your Eyes & Crimewave), the new EP "Back To Shilmarine" arrives as a blistering snapshot of the band's protean dynamism.

The band celebrate their late-90s / early-00s influences in a caustic yet melodic blend of tracks that nod as much to the output of labels such as Dischord, Touch & Go, and Nothing Records, as they do their contemporaries in the UK scene such as SCALER, Famous, deathcrash, and LICE. The EP sees them bring all these touchstones together to create a unique and uninhibited maelstrom of sound that spans everything from intricate math-infected guitar lines and pensive vocals to propulsive drumming, totemic riffing, and warped synths.

3) Haal or ḥāl (Arabic, meaning "state" or "condition") is a special-purpose, temporary state of consciousness that results from unseen influences. Haal is also a trio of doom from and based in Singapore, consisting of 'Ariff Imran (guitar & vocals), Haffidz Razak (bass guitar), and Nisman Wong (drums).

In 2016, Nisman and 'Ariff came together to form what would become Haal. With both members being rooted in the hardcore punk/crust scenes, the idea was to maintain the realist themes essential to those genres but deliver them in a deeper, heavier, groovier format.

After much experimentation and multiple line-up changes, idea finally took form. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
