New Music: Haldol – Truth of an Arrow

With the release of their Negation album due next February, Philadelphia’s post-punk / deathrock band Haldol (Geoff R Smith, Aaron Muchanic, and Ande Ciampa) have dropped an advance track, Truth of an Arrow. Have a listen to it below.

The song riffs heavily on 80s British post-punk, at times verging on Goth in its dark themes and tones. Think Bauhaus, or The Cure before their commercial height, but with a noticeable grunge aesthetic running through it, Truth of an Arrow is fresh and fierce, and a highlight of an already impressive-sounding LP judging by the songs that have already been previewed.

Truth of an Arrow will feature on the band’s Negation album, which will be released on the 21^st of February via Play Alone Records. You can pre-order the album’s vinyl edition on Bandcamp, and be sure to check Haldol on Instagram for more listening options.
