THE HAUNTED Completes Pre-Production For New Album

March 27, 2008

Swedish thrashers THE HAUNTED are back on the map with some good news, as they have just finished pre-production for their highly anticipated, still-untitled new album. The band will soon enter PUK studio in Denmark to start working with producer Tue Madsen (HEAVEN SHALL BURN, DARK TRANQUILLITY, MOONSPELL, etc),who has already collaborated with THE HAUNTED on their two previous albums, "rEVOLVEr" and "The Dead Eye".

Bassist Jonas Bjrler comments: "Right now we're rehearsing like madmen. This is the final week before we enter the PUK studio in Denmark. Right now we have like 20+ songs, so we have a lot of material to choose from; I think we aim at putting 11 or 12 on the CD. This time around we worked 6 months on the songs, and I think that really paid off none of the songs sound alike, and the material sounds really heavy and groovy."

As a special preview, THE HAUNTED have now posted a new video online which shows them during pre-production activities for the upcoming album. Watch the clip below.

Despite the upcoming AT THE GATES reunion tourdates, which see Jonas and Anders Bjrler invade Japan, North American and several prestigious European Summer festivals with their former band, THE HAUNTED will be busy playing shows as well and they have in fact just been confirmed for Spain's Electric Weekend festival on May 31 as well as Germany's Wacken Open Air festival on August 1.

Upcoming THE HAUNTED shows:

May 22 - Copenhagen, Denmark - The Rock
May 31 - Madrid, Spain - Electric Weekend Festival
Jun. 27 - Borlnge, Sweden - Peace & Love Festival
Aug. 01 - Wacken, Germany - Wacken Open Air
Aug. 14 - Tel Aviv, Israel - Anthem Festival
