Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to come home—to the crushing, soaring, unforgettable sound of HAAST!
From the rugged hills of South Wales comes the long-awaited 2026 full-length from the masters of progressive stoner/doom: Dreams of Home. This is the album fans have been craving since Made of Light (2021)—a heavy, atmospheric journey that digs into memory, longing, conflict, and what “home” really means when the world keeps shifting under your feet.
You’ve already heard the warning shots. The haunting first single “Clychau Celyn” (Welsh for “holly bells”) drifts in like a half-remembered dream: “Sleep brings dreams of home / But I share them with drowned ghosts…” It’s melancholic, powerful, and pure HAAST—rusted bells still chiming truths from the depths. Then comes the devastating second single “Denial in the Lions’ Den,” a fierce, spoken-word-laced epic of faith, empire, betrayal, and burning crosses. It snarls, it questions, and it hits like a landslide.
Dreams of Home takes everything that made HAAST (formerly Haast’s Eagled) essential listening—massive riffs, progressive structures, grunge-tinged atmosphere, and thoughtful, poetic lyrics—and elevates it. Recorded at The Bookhouse Studio with Tom Hill, mastered to perfection, and driven by the band’s signature chemistry (Adam Wrench, Hywel Williams, James Tottle, Elliot Blake), this record is both a refuge and a reckoning. It’s the sound of coming home after the storm… or realizing the storm never really left.
Whether you’re a longtime devotee of their earlier crushing epics or just discovering this Welsh heavyweight force, Dreams of Home is the album that will live in your headphones, your speakers, and your head for a long time.
