During their last stops on their "New Addiction"-Tour, the Floridian sibling duo, The Haunt claimed Berlin's cosy Privatclub and transformed it into an alt-rock sanctuary. The dark glamour of their "New Addiction" era was on full display, blending brooding yet energetic melodies with cathartic anthems.

Before the haunting began, Austrian newcomer band Glazed Curtains cranked up the temperature with a sludgy, fast-paced rock sound that got the crowd moving early. Especially their new song "I Still Hate Myself (Maybe)" had the crowd moving and was stuck in once mind after. By the time they exited the stage, the room was primed for what was to come. Glazed Curtains delivered a great rock sound, fun lyricism and and an even better vocal depth - definitely a newcomer band we will be watching out for in the future.

Once The Haunt entered the stage, the crowd's reaction was undeniably heartfelt and you could feel the energetic excitement in the intimate crowd. Singer Anastasia's emotive vocals carried every line, and her stage presence ranged from her vulnerability one moment to a commanding roar the next, which dominated the intimate room. Guitarist and Singer Maxamillion delivered melody-tight riffs and vocals, which crafted a soundscape that demanded the crowd to form a connection to what was happening in the songs and on stage.

A personal favorite was "Bad Omen," which made the listener feel the heavy rhythm deeply within one's bones and a chorus one just wanted to scream along to. Similarly, “Own Me,” delivered with thunderous drums, strutting guitars, all while Anastasia sang lyrics about anxiety that felt intensely direct. During the title track "New Addiction", the crowd jumped, raved, and clapped to the rhythm as the band moved energetically on the stage. The undisputed fan favorites of the night were the their staple piece "Cigarettes & Feelings", the venomous breakup anthem “Dead 2 Me” as well as the energetic track ”Masochistic Lovers" which had the crowd screaming every word and jumping in the air while a circle pit erupted under the small's club ceiling.

The Haunt’s Berlin gig was more than a showcase of their music; it was an emotional rite to welcome their upcoming album "New Addiction", arriving July 25th, 2025. They summoned the rawness and fun darkness of New Addiction, with an electrifying live punch, all without losing the poignant touch of their previous music, which they’re known for. This crowd was ready for it with circle pits, scream-alongs, and emotional phone lights. This show had it all and the crowd loved it as they were lost in the shine of a duo who’ve certainly earned their place in the alt-rock music scene.
