REST
IN
HASTE

Channelling Seattle’s grunge, California’s desert rock and Washington D.C.'s post-hardcore through the dark depths of the Bohemian woods and the gritty gambling parlors of Prague, REST IN HASTE combine the psychedelic and the mundane into muscular songs with danceable grooves, angular riffs, and bittersweet melodies. Their vision of rock goes beyond revivalism, avoiding genre clichés and constantly searching for new themes and musical twists.

​

In 2022, the band released Spontaneously Drown by Fire, a single that serves as a soundtrack to the nightmarish comics by the band’s long-time collaborator Luis Blackaller, also responsible for REST IN HASTE's cover illustrations. It was mastered by the stoner rock legend John McBain of Monster Magnet. REST IN HASTE have recently recorded the musical score for Blackaller’s live-action short film Solitude Company, due for release in 2026. They are currently writing material for their new LP.

​

REST IN HASTE's latest album, called Hello Young Traveler, was released in 2021 on vinyl and digitally. It was recorded in Prague by Dan Šatra, known for his collaborations with prominent local bands such as Lvmen, and mixed by J Robbins of Government Issue and Jawbox (and onetime producer of stoner rock legends Clutch) in Baltimore, MD. Mastering was done by the Seattle-based engineer Ed Brooks, who has worked on records by bands such as Akimbo, Russian Circles, These Arms Are Snakes, Pelican, or Minus the Bear. The eleven tracks cover a wide range of moods, from the biting post-punk of Walking City, the country-rock verses and a psychedelic coda of 5000 Tractors to the stoner ballad Confirmation or the math-rock instrumental Day of Rest. As on previous recordings, the new album features the talents of the guest vocalist Markéta Broumová.
