The Haxans are a brand new power-duo featuring Ash Costello (New Years Day) on vocals and Matt Montgomery (Rob Zombie) on vocals and guitar. The first listen into this unique goth and pop infused project comes via their brand new track, “Chains”, which can be streamed now below.

“The Haxans is like a 70’s spook-show club dance party. The song “Chains” is the first song that we recorded together and it has such a groovy vibe. The lyrics are about someone who is like a ghost in your life. Someone that just won’t go away. This song is the direct message to them,” says Ash.

Matt states: "We’re like a goth pop Sonny And Cher. A death rock Donny And Marie. It's a brand new sound from the underground!”

Matt tells the story of their first encounte: “Ash and I met and immediately slow danced down the Black Carpet at the Golden Gods Awards. The moment we met I thought 'now here's a girl who likes The Haunted Mansion and Halloween as much as I do… so, what would it sound like if we made a record together?' A year later we were doing just that."

Ash further adds: “The next time I ran into him was at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Later that week I got a message from him asking if I would be interested in doing a project together. What’s really amazing about working with him is how easy it is. Songs just started forming organically, although it did take a while simply because of both of our busy touring schedules. This isn’t like NYD, or anything I’ve ever done before."
