haunted images

Haunted Images is a four piece alternative rock and emo band based in Louth. Juxtaposing modern alt-metal influences Deftones and Deafheaven, against the left field ambience of Aphex Twin and shoegaze mainstays My Bloody Valentine, gives the band its signature sound. One that, in equal parts, shimmers like a graceful celestial body, while at the same time with the dense wall of sound production, cascades over you like wave.

Following the successful release of singles ‘if you want’, ‘grey days’, ‘sometimes’ and the stunning ‘stay awake’, which caught the attention of Hot Press, Golden Plec, Genuine Irish, Pure M Zine, Independent.ie, Ragged Cast and Rock N Load, the band released its self titled album, Haunted Images in April 2025. This marks their largest and most realised body of work to date. An album that lyrically comes from a place of deep introspection and thematically addresses forgiveness in many different forms, an album that seeks to bring light to the impending darkness.

‘Eloquent lyrics and ethereal vocals’
Independent.ie
Haunted Images meticulously creates atmospheric soundscapes with a strong emotional undercurrent, allowing the listener to completely lose themselves within the world of the music. Haunted Images is an invitation to get lost in the music and in being lost find catharsis. An essential voice within Ireland’s music scene.
