Haust

**Haust** was a raucous Norwegian punk band that erupted from Trondheim's underground scene in the late 2000s, blending garage rock, noise, and hardcore into a chaotic cocktail. Known for their raw energy and sardonic lyrics, the trio—Vebjørn Guttormsgaard Møllberg (vocals/bass), Pål Brekkås (guitar), and Ole Magnus Jenssen (drums)—released gnarly albums like *Ride the Relapse* (2009) and *The Powers of Horror* (2011), which featured their signature scuzzy riffs and unhinged vocals. Tracks like "Negative Music" and "Dead Ringer" captured their confrontational ethos, while "Black Hole X-Mas" showed their knack for darkly humorous holiday antics. Though they disbanded in the mid-2010s, Haust left a gritty mark on Norway’s punk landscape, often collaborating with likeminded acts (Okkultokrati, for one) and embodying a DIY spirit that refused to play nice.
