I know what you are all going to say. "But Aytakk, you said you were going to write something different for your next article!"

Well stow it! This is too important to pass up. Its not everyday an obscure band is unearthed and made public. This review needs to happen. You need to know about this album (could I even call it an album? I'll go into that later) today. The scope of this album... musical release? Well its a gamechanger. A slice of goth history that was sadly lost and has now been rediscovered thanks to the power of the internet.

The rediscovery begins in October last year when youtuber Waksmonster posted the 1988 music video for the song Sad Party by Haunted Haus. Going by information there he had a hand in editing the video back in the day so he must have had a copy stashed away on some dusty shelf somewhere. The quality isn't great but hey - its such a great song I'd have watched the tape over and over again myself. No way it would survive in pristine condition.

So that was the first taste the world had of the rediscovery of Haunted Haus. Until recently.

It turns out there was an entire album (if you can call it that) recorded and released on cassette. Or at least that is what they have on offer. The artwork is rather basic as you could see so it could very well just be an early demo recorded on a standard cassette recorder with the artwork idly doodled on the cover between poetry classes. My guess is it likely pre-dates the video from 1988 by a few years as there is no sign of anything to do with Sad Haus Records on the cover slip.
