Blackhaine is a UK based project operating between Noise and Drill.

With its origins in the static anxiety of 2020, their output focuses on the ‘transition from stomach knotted dread to exhaustive, prang-out negative ecstasy’.

A political act - the live show contains deconstructions of their existing sounds and future releases whilst experimenting with genre convention ranging from ambience to hardcore punk.

Previous releases include And Salford Falls Apart and Armour.

"Operating at the crossover between drill and avant-garde choreography. When he raps, his flat Northern vowels conjure comedown paranoia, simmering rage suppressed by emotional numbness and a life of crime seemingly only just out of shot. But it’s his choreography – bluntly abbreviated to “choreo” for him – that, prior to his Kanye call-up, had seen him take commissions for Gucci and rapper Mykki Blanco." - The Face
