The single marks the recording debut of THE HAUNTED‘s new lineup, which was announced last summer, featuring founding members Patrik Jensen (guitar) and Jonas Björler (bass), returning members Marco Aro (vocals) and Adrian Erlandsson (drums), as well as new guitarist Ola Englund.
Commented THE HAUNTED‘s founding member and guitarist Patrik Jensen: “We are sure fans have been anxious to know what the band sounds like today after all the turmoil and old members leaving and new members joining.
“We feel that these three songs represent the band perfectly.
“We are currently working on the new album, an album that will be filled to the brim with what we know to be THE HAUNTED.
“THE HAUNTED is back.”
THE HAUNTED‘s 2014 lineup:
* Patrik Jensen – Guitar
* Ola Englund (SIX FEET UNDER, FEARED) – Guitar
* Marco Aro (THE RESISTANCE, FACE DOWN) – Vocals
* Jonas Björler – Bass
* Adrian Erlandsson (AT THE GATES, PARADISE LOST) – Drums
THE HAUNTED will embark on a tour of Scandinavia this spring, beginning with a show in Gothenburg, Sweden on March 28.
Says the band: “The reception of the three new songs from our newly released EP ‘Eye Of The Storm’ at 70000 Tons Of Metal was amazing, so expect them to be played, together with a truckload of other hard-hitters.
“We can’t wait to get back out there playing shows again, and we’ll make sure it has been worth your while sticking around for us through thick and thin. See you all somewhere along the road!”
THE HAUNTED‘s founding member and guitarist Patrik Jensen stated about the band’s new lineup: “THE HAUNTED went through some difficult times last year. Losing three band members is a pretty huge blow to any band. Jonas and I agreed immediately that we wanted to continue with the band, but we wanted to take our time and not rush into anything.
“Some of you might recognize a few faces, some of you might not. Adrian Erlandsson is back on drums and Marco Aro is back on vocals. Adrian you might know from playing on our first album and Marco sang on ‘The Haunted Made Me Do It’, ‘Live Rounds In Tokyo’ and ‘One Kill Wonder’. On guitar we also have Ola Englund bringing some pretty heavy chops to the band.”
Vocalist Marco Aro (ex-FACE DOWN, also in THE RESISTANCE) was previously involved with THE HAUNTED for three acclaimed releases between 1999 and 2003 as well as for several worldwide touring campaigns. Drummer Adrian Erlandsson (also in AT THE GATES and PARADISE LOST) belonged to the original lineup of THE HAUNTED together the Björler twins after the demise of their previous legendary group, AT THE GATES. Together with Jensen, they launched THE HAUNTED‘s self-titled debut in 1998, an album which has been widely considered as the kick-start for a new era in the thrash metal movement and which, despite its initial underground status, climbed to be a massively inspirational record for a whole new generation of musicians and bands in the following decade. Guitarist Ola Englund is a highly talented young player from Sweden, who has recently been active as touring and recording member of U.S. death metal institution SIX FEET UNDER.
