“Husks is by far and away is haarp’s most ferocious offering. All eighteen minutes of ‘Deadman/Rabbit’ seethe and writhe with terrible energy; it is a song that perfectly embodies the wailing and gnashing of teeth. The sound is clear and bright, without the filthy weight of sludge, with only the sheer weight of the pace of the track forcing the song to its knees, to crawl.” – About.com

Due to unforeseen events which occurred late in the summer of 2005, members of various disbanded projects came together to forge haarp. Featuring a collective of New Orleans grindcore, punk, and metal scene alumni, haarp embody the murk, decay, and oppression associated with their home city. haarp’s music is a visceral wall of low-end sound; its lyrics a journey through despair, hatred, self loathing, and aggression. haarp literally beat the ever-loving shit out of you with their music, repeatedly. Whether they play a seamless set (which they often do), or not, there is no denying that they’re a band ready to graduate to a more widespread visibility. Not only does haarp bring a crushing resuscitation to the New Orleans scene with their unforgiving brand of music, which absolutely fits the classic “N.O. Sound”, but they bring a new vitality to Heavy Metal music in general.
