Lives Lost released their new single HAUNTED, today, January 19, 2026. The track follows the band’s Home EP and arrives as the next release in their current cycle.

HAUNTED blends aggressive guitar work with melodic vocal passages, staying rooted in the modern alternative metal sound the band has established. The production is polished while retaining a heavy edge, keeping the focus on the song itself rather than studio effects or embellishment.

Lyrically, the song addresses the psychological effects of constant digital presence. It reflects on how social media shapes identity and encourages self-focus, leaving behind versions of the self that no longer feel connected or whole. The “ghosts” referenced throughout the track speak to that sense of disconnection rather than to external figures or past events.

Rather than positioning the song as a statement or message, HAUNTED presents its subject matter directly and without commentary. The track leaves space for listeners to recognize their own experiences within it.

In HAUNTED, Lives Lost further develop the groundwork laid by Home, offering a release that stays true to their sound and thematic focus, all while maintaining a straightforward and grounded approach.
