"The Sacrifice" is the third new album from power noise trio Haystack!
Haystack was formed 1994 by Ulf Cederlund Entombed, Disfear, Murder Squad, Alpha Safari, Swarm of Souls after a North American tour where the band Unsane opened up for Entombed.
Uffe liked what they were doing and formed a three-piece band influenced mainly by Unsane but also other Noise-rock/Fucked-up punk-rock three-piece bands like: HammerheadUS, NoMeansNo, Steel Pole Bath Tub, Bitch Magnet, Melvins, Dinosaur Jr, Wipers and Dead Moon.
After a couple of line-up changes the band started to sound good enough and consisted of Jonas Lundberg A-Bombs, The Maggots on drums and Johan Blomqvist Backyard Babies on Bass.
Haystack released two albums under this line-up: Right at You on Outside Society Records 1996 and Slave Me on Threeman Recordings / MFN records in 1998. Johan Blomqvist left the band after recording the bass tracks on Slave Me to fully focus on Backyard Babies.
Jorgen Sandstrom Entombed, Grave filled in on bass before the band went in a state of slumber for nearly 20 years. Ulf started focus more on songwriting in Entombed, this was the time when Same Difference and Uprising were written.
2017: Ulf Cederlund and Jonas Lundberg decided that they were going to start up the band again. Ulf got in touch with Patrik Thorngren who played the bass with Ulf in their band Alpha Safari.
They booked a show in Stockholm to get things moving and started working on a new album. How could Haystack make an album today
They decided that things had to move fast. At that time the band wanted to limit itself, dogma style. work fast, be spontaneous, not to overwork the process, see a recording take place fast.
The result is The Sacrifice, nine new songs and one Dead Can Dance cover, recorded and mixed in four days.
Haystacks two previous albums Right at You and Slave Me will be re-released in the near future.
