Second Choice delivers the allure of an enchanting darkness with “The Haunting”

“The Haunting” is a sonic spell, conjured by solo musical project Second Choice featuring Dimi De San on the vocals. With this jam, Second Choice delivers a chillingly beautiful offering that sounds like it was torn straight from the misty corridors of a forgotten castle.

Second Choice is the solo project of veteran metal guitarist turned cinematic soundsmith—whose musical journey began in the underground metal scene of the early ’90s— and now has reached new artistic heights with this atmospheric masterstroke.

Inspired by classic Gothic horror movie soundtracks and laced with touches of Scandinavian folk, “The Haunting” transcends mere genre labels. The composition is dark, textured, and steeped in mystery—yet undeniably melodic. There’s a slow-burning tension that rises through rich orchestration and ambient dread, drawing the listener deeper into an immersive soundscape where beauty and terror intertwine.

At the core of this track lies the breathtaking vocal performance of Dimi de San. Her operatic yet emotionally grounded voice moves like fog over a darkened moor—powerful, ethereal, and deeply evocative. Dimi doesn’t just sing the song; she inhabits it, bringing to life the very soul of the shadows Second Choice has so masterfully painted.

“The Haunting” is more than a song—it’s an experience. It calls to mind the spectral elegance of Penny Dreadful, the folk horror aura of Midsommar, and the grandeur of a phantom opera. It feels destined for a climactic scene in a psychological thriller or supernatural drama, where the line between love and despair is as thin as a whisper.

Whether you’re a fan of dark ambient, neofolk, gothic rock, or cinematic music, this track demands your attention. Second Choice has created a sound that doesn’t just complement the horror genre—it amplifies its emotional depth and immersive terror.

Prepare to be enchanted, unsettled, and completely captivated.
