Edmonton, AB's VAN HALST is a fierce, empowering force of hard rock fused with metal.  A project, which began as a solo artist for whom the band is named after -- Kami Van Halst, has since become a full group producing socially conscious, lyrical tracks that focus on disenfranchised and marginalized populations. The band’s influences stay true to goth rock with Kami Van Halst demonstrating an agile vocal delivery in combination with pummeling growls. Lyrically, the band draws from black metal due to its focus on people suffering from isolation and rising to overcome the preconceptions of a judgmental society. In This Moment’s industrial fusion remains a primary influence for Van Halst, employing a sampler, synthesizer, and distorted vocals.

Kami Van Halst dominates as the vocalist performing both growls and soaring vocals (Surviving Suzanne), Scott Greene (Derina Harvey Band/Dirty Pool) and Strathon J. Bajowsky (Havok Way) craft the guitar work while Brendan McMillan (bass) (My Darkest Days) and Brett Seaton (drums) (Cultured by Fire) drive the rhythm section of the band. Kami’s range and virtuosic vocal ability always captivates an audience and her attitude on stage truly delivers the meaning behind the songs. The main writing forces for the band are Kami and Scott working together to give listeners a vivid image of social injustices. The band’s live performance is a theatric experience as the utilize full-costumes, make-up and stage props.

Their debut album 'World of Make Believe' is now available as of March 4th and can be picked up on iTunes and Bandcamp plus streaming at the following links below.

Vocalist Kami Van Halst comments about the album:

"We are so excited to be releasing this album. It’s been in the works for years and to finally have it out is an amazing feeling. Thank-you for all the support and we’ll see you on the road!”

NEWS: Premiera singla "Questions" VAN HALST na PureGrainAudio / PureGrainAudio Premiere VAN HALST 'Questions'

Pochodzący z Edmonton (Kanada) VAN HALST gra połączenie hard rocka z metalem. Początkowo był to solowy projekt Kami Van Halst'a, stąd nazwa zespołu, który z czasem przekształcił się w pełnowymiarowy zespół, poruszający w swoich tekstach na kwestiach społecznych dotyczących ludzi zepchniętych na margines społeczeństwa. Nadchodzący album "World of Make Believe" ukaże się na rynku 4 marca 2016, ale już teraz, klikając na link poniżej, można posłuchać trzeciego singla z płyty, zatytułowanego  "Questions".

Wokalista Kami Van Halst tak komentuje ten singiel:
"Napisalem "Questions" wraz z moją siostrą Britney Grabill. Dotyczy on ofiar seksualnych napaści, które często są obwiniane, jakoby wina leżała po ich stronie, gdyż swoim zachowaniem prowokowały sprawców. Musimy usunąć to piętno z ofiar i skierować całą winę tam gdzie naprawde leży - na sprawców przemocy."

Utwór "Questions" jest dostępny pod tym linkiem: http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/van-halst-questions-exclusive-song-stream-premiere

Vocalist Kami Van Halst comments about the track:

"I wrote Questions with my sister Brittney Grabill. This song deals with victim blaming and how the victims of sexual assault are often criticized and blamed for putting themselves in the vulnerable position, which allowed them to be abused or exploited. This is wrong, we should not be blaming or scrutinizing the victims of abuse. We need to remove the stigma and put the blame where it rightly belongs- on the abuser."
