     Edmonton, AB's VAN HALST is
 a fierce, empowering force of hard rock fused with metal.  A project, 
which began as a solo artist for whom the band is named after -- Kami 
Van Halst, has since become a full group producing socially conscious, 
lyrical tracks that focus on disenfranchised and marginalized 
populations. Their forthcoming 2016 album 'World of Make Believe' is set for release on March 4th and before its release VAN HALST have teamed up for the full album stream premiere on Idobi Radio, which can be heard at the following link below.

Vocalist Kami Van Halst comments about the track:

"World
 of Make Believe contains ten songs that speak to a variety of social 
justice issues such as poverty, youth homelessness, religion, domestic 
violence and feminism. I strongly believe that musicians and other 
public figures have a responsibility to try and create positive social 
change through their art and their voice: World of Make Believe is
 our contribution. We want this album to make people think about 
systemic issues in a different way and motivate them to create positive 
change through activism."

More about Van Halst:

The
 band’s influences stay true to goth rock, Kami Van Halst demonstrates 
an agile vocal delivery in combination with pummeling growls. Lyrically,
 the band draws from black metal due to its focus on people suffering 
from isolation and rising to overcome the preconceptions of a 
judgemental society. In This Moment’s industrial fusion remains a 
primary influence for Van Halst, employing a sampler, synthesizer, and 
distorted vocals.

Kami
 Van Halst dominates as the vocalist performing both growls and soaring 
vocals (Surviving Suzanne), Scott Greene (Derina Harvey Band/Dirty Pool)
 and Strathon J. Bajowsky (Havok Way) craft the guitar work while 
Brendan McMillan (bass) (My Darkest Days) and Brett Seaton (drums) 
(Cultured by Fire) drive the rhythm section of the band. Kami’s range 
and virtuosic vocal ability always captivates an audience and her 
attitude on stage truly delivers the meaning behind the songs. The main 
writing forces for the band are Kami and Scott working together to give 
listeners a vivid image of social injustices. The band’s live 
performance is a theatric experience as the utilize full-costumes, 
make-up and stage props.
