Alt-rock sibling duo The Haunt are giving fans another taste of their forthcoming sophomore album with the release of the new single "Favorite Way To Die," which was produced by Kevin Thrasher (Escape the Fate).

"'Favorite Way to Die' is a metaphor for being so attached to that one person that you'll go to any length to try to make it work. It's about a constant desire to try to change things that I can't change and fix people that can't be fixed and all the ways I continuously hurt myself in the process," Maxamillion "Max" Haunt (vocals, guitar)says about the single, "When we were in the studio, bringing this track to life with Kevin Thrasher, we really wanted to invoke a combination of Nine Inch Nails energy and Industrial Rock vibes with a chorus that feels more Post Punk. It's one of our favorite tracks on the album so we really hope you love it."

The Syndicate provided these details: "Favorite Way To Die" follows "Ghost", establishing this new era of The Haunt and builds on the momentum of the band's debut full-length New Addiction, a relentless alt-rock release that confronted depression, anxiety, dead-end relationships, and the pressure-cooker realities of modern life. Produced by Kevin Thrasher (Escape the Fate), with mixing by Joel Wanasek (Sleep Theory, Ice Nine Kills), the album's impact has only continued to grow through standout singles including "Own Me," "Going Under," "Bad Omen," "Teeth," "New Addiction," and "Masochistic Lovers" (feat. Craig Mabbitt of Escape the Fate). For more details on the upcoming album release, follow The Haunt on socials.

The Haunt recently wrapped a UK/EU headline run, bringing their signature chaos and catharsis to the live stage, and they brought that same momentum to North America on The Hollow Crown Tour. The tour kicked off on March 19 in San Antonio and before wrapping on April 18, where they shared the stage with MISSIO, WesGhost, and ThxSoMch.

Florida siblings Anastasia and Maxamillion Haunt have been making music together since childhood, forming their first band in 2015 over a shared love of hard rock, garage rock, and blues influences like Amy Winehouse and The White Stripes. By the time Anastasia was just 12, they were already playing clubs across Florida and soon touring internationally with acts like Palaye Royale. Eventually adopting the name The Haunt to reflect the darker, more visceral edge of their sound, the duo quickly earned acclaim-Kerrang! praised their "gothic edge, flashes of punk vibrancy and riot grrrl attitude," while Rock Sound named them a Breakout Artist. Their steady stream of singles and EPs has amassed more than 40 million streams and fueled a rapidly growing global fanbase. Following the release of New Addiction, The Haunt toured extensively, appearing at festivals including Download, Louder Than Life, and Rock for People while selling out shows across the U.S., U.K., and Europe. Now, with "Ghost," the band enters their next chapter, bolder, darker, and still evolving.
