THE HAUNTED Begins Work On New 'Balls-Out Metal' Album

November 12, 2007

THE HAUNTED frontman Peter Dolving has issued the following update:

"It's on!

"We are doing it, again.

"We've decided to start making a new album and we're finally into workmode. The twins [guitarist Anders Björler and bassist Jonas Björler] and Per [M. Jensen, drums] are couped up in the rehearsal space, and me in my little cabin in the back yard of my house. [Patrik] Jensen [guitar] has been comin down for a couple of weeks and him and the boys have been going through his batch of riffs.

"What it's gonna become we don't know, like always. But right now we feel like the intention is to write a balls-out metal album. You know 10 songs start to finish bonecrushed, neck-breakin' fuckin' metal. But being who we are means anything might happen. We got about six months before we hit the studio and more ideas for songs than any record so far.

"It feels sweet to have this sense of band/gang/crew/family going again. Having gotten the opportunity to over and over again get up, get together and put music together knowing you people are out there. It's not something you take for granted. When we all started out, that was never the case. It was always a battle against yourself, and facing new crowds, and I have to give us that; We've had some fucking guts over the years, sticking our heads out there in a shitstorm, and as people having had the integrity to do what we've felt the right thing to do.

"For all you out there: Fucking thank you! I'm proud to be a member of this band, and one of the people who dig this music."

THE HAUNTED's latest album, "The Dead Eye", was recorded in Denmark at Antfarm Studios with renowned producer Tue Madsen (HIMSA, SICK OF IT ALL). The effort is being hailed as the band's most accomplished work yet. The group shot a video for the song "The Flood" with renowned director Roger Johansson (ARCH ENEMY, IN FLAMES).
