From Tijuana, Mexico, Habak exploded into the DIY scene in 2015 with what they describe as “crust melódico” -emotionally charged music that blazes a path through crust, screamo, and post-metal. Over the course of several albums and splits, Habak have made a name for themselves, carving out their own brand of dark, emotional music, melding aggressive d-beat punk and seething screamo-inspired hardcore with sweeping passages of melody. Their lyrics explore themes of isolation and mental anguish, yet through it all there is an underlying notion of hope and liberation.
