SONG FACTS (from Randy): I was driving across the State of Washington in the Spring of 2017 and decided to call my dear friend in Florida to firm up my plans for the summer. We hadn’t seen each other in over 30 years. She was my middle school love – my first love. It didn’t pan for us and was probably just as well. We were both incredibly willful and stubborn, and in our youth, we were totally out of control, just wild. Any serious relationship between the two of us back then would have been a disaster. In retrospect, growing up in Burlington, Iowa, in the appalling conditions of my home, her asking me to stay would have given me two years at best. Death was coming, and I didn’t want to be around when it came knocking. We had our moment a few years later, which was grand, but we were on separate paths and knew it wasn’t meant to be.
Throughout the years, we remained close friends but have never had the opportunity to see each other again. She got married and had kids. I was married and divorced twice with a beautiful daughter. We stayed in touch. In December of 2016, I made plans for an epic 5,000-mile journey on my Indian Chief. When I travel like this, I usually hit the town we grew up in. My parents are buried there, and I have a couple of dear friends there. Her parents still lived in Burlington, and we discovered that we would simultaneously be in our old hometown. I was excited to see her after all these years. We made plans to have lunch – nothing naughty, just two old friends getting together over lunch and reminiscing about our wild pasts.
So, back to my drive. I had pulled off at a rest area on my way to Spokane. I will never forget this. I picked up my phone, brought up her number to call, and realized she was no longer there. She passed away back in February 2017 at her Florida home. I was just sitting there frozen, holding my phone. I had already grieved, yet I was still making the big trip, right in the middle of writing sessions with Sean for the debut Haunted North album, and had forgotten entirely. A close friend told me that she was returned to Burlington and buried in a cemetery very close to where she grew up, very close to the school where we met. The first line of the song was born at that moment. By the time I got to Spokane, the lyrics were done. Sean did a fantastic job finding the right music, and I even had a hand in the chorus melody. All of it came straight from the heart.

SONG FACTS: During the writing of The Haunted North’s debut album ‘Monster’, singer Randy V woke up one night with Ruby Starr's 'Burnin' Whiskey' running through his head. Randy related, “It stayed with me for weeks until I finally decided it was supposed to be on the album”. Ruby Starr’s nephew, Johnny Cappelletty, was enlisted to record the drums and the song was off and running. Also appearing on the song are Black Label Society's bassist John 'JD' DeServio, and D'haitre custom guitar maker Andy Beech. Of Ruby, Randy states, “Her vision of seeing Johnny and I in a band together set my entire career path. Without her, the last three and a half decades look radically different. I doubt I would even be alive with the course I was on. I did my best to honor her memory and I have nothing but eternal love for her and her family.”

(song lyrics)
"Seems you’ve had it, with all of my games
Trouble and hard times, come with my name
Love with a loser, causes you pain
Take it away – take it away
Burnin’ whiskey
Oh how that whiskey burns
When my baby left
To whiskey I had to turn
No one can help me, now I’m alone
Nothin’ I can say, will bring you back home
Yes I’m the loser, you made me so blue
Hey, hey burnin’ whiskey, help see me through
Burnin’ whiskey
Oh how that whiskey burns
When my baby left
To whiskey I had to turn
There ain’t no need to deny
What I’m feeling inside
Turn up the music
Hand me the bottle
And I will forget you lied
Burnin’ whiskey
Oh how that whiskey burns
When my baby left
To whiskey I had to turn (X3)"

Monster Girls: Maria Rosa & Julia Steel
SONG FACTS: Singer Randy V was cutting his vocals at Bass-Mint Studios in New Jersey when THN co-producer and bassist John 'JD' DeServio told him the lyrics were out-of-place within the context of the whole album. The entire band (including Randy) agreed. The following morning Randy wrote the title track 'Monster', which he describes as a life-long battle with codependency, born out of growing up in an appalling alcoholic environment. Regarding the lyrics, Randy states, "Sometimes the issue is not the addiction you were subjected to, but rather the unconscious need to be validated through hedonism and debauchery. It's a losing battle trying to fill an endless void right through the center of your being. That's what the monster is, blind, never-ending hunger, either trying to feel alive and known, or completely annihilated. There is no in between. The battle is fought with vigilance, everyday. It creeps up on you when you're not watching and destroys the people who actually love you. It's a beast to be reckoned with."
The witches fly and always cry when I fail them
To hit a wall and fall was never my intention
All tied up in knots, waitin' for the fury
But the beast inside is tellin' me not to worry
You are the earthy woman I’ve been waiting for
Locked in my prison cell, I gotta have some more
Thought I was good to go when I left the horror
But I’m not allowed to love; here comes the monster
Wide awake in the void of validation
The hero-self exposes my destruction
Guilt ridden, love killer, biting as you weep
All my thoughts are lost in you so deep
You are the earthy woman I’ve been waiting for
Locked in my prison cell, I gotta have some more
Thought I was good to go when I left the horror
But I’m not allowed to love; here comes the monster
The witches fly and always cry when I fail them

SONG FACTS: Body & Soul was the first Haunted North song published in 2015. The song was inspired by a meeting between Randy and Layne Staley's mother. Randy states, "It was an illuminating moment, feeling the grief of a woman who lost her only son. She made me aware of the astounding loss of life among Seattle musicians, known and unknown. I dug deep and the lyrics came from genuine empathy." Randy met Sean a few weeks later at a Black Label Society concert and they began to collaborate on the song. Sean states, "It was fate. The minute I read the lyrics, I knew my music had found a home." It was the birth of THN. Black Label Society bassist JD DeServio joined the duo to record the song and is featured in the video. Maria Rosa makes her debut with an angelic backing vocal on this unplugged version of the song.

(song lyrics)
You lit up the world with dark empathy
We were blind and could not see
A haunting voice of the soul alone
We turned our heads and through the veil
You were gone
Your body and soul at war
The love you lost tore your soul
Broken memories of "wings denied"
Take me back to a time of love
We waited for you, waited so long
Immortal voice, I still hear your song
Your body and soul at war
The love you lost tore your soul
Your body and soul at war
You couldn't take the pain anymore
We dreamed of a day
When your cage of hell would fade away
And we could hear your honesty again.
A star shinning bright, dying night after night
Still hard to believe that you are gone.
Your body and soul at war
The love you lost tore your soul
Your body and soul at war
You couldn't take the pain anymore

(lyrics)
You take everything we are, everything we feel
You told the truth about a future you would steal
Money, money, take it all away
One way or another you will pay
Talking heads on screens are calling for war
The news is nothing but a greedy lying whore
Two weeks to flatten the curve and we’ll all be well
Two weeks turned into three years of fucking hell
Black flag flying, all your fucking lying
It’s a good day for dying, black flag flying
You took our freedom, took our lives
Now you want to take our bread
I can’t forgive the king of crimes
Time to avenge the dead
I’m not one to forgive, I’m not one to forget
Fuck the new world order, fuck the great reset!
Black flag flying, all your fucking lying
It’s a good day for dying, black flag flying
Black flag flying, all your fucking lying
It’s a good day for dying, black flag flying
I’m not one to forgive, I’m not one to forget
Fuck the new world order, fuck the great reset!
