THE HAUNTED entered PUK studio in Denmark on April 1 to begin recording its new album with producer Tue Madsen (HEAVEN SHALL BURN, DARK TRANQUILLITY, MOONSPELL, etc),who had previously worked with the group on their two most recent CDs, "rEVOLVEr" and "The Dead Eye".

THE HAUNTED singer Peter Dolving previously stated about the group's new material, "It sounds fucking ridiculously heavy. It's all got a heavier groovier feel to to it than anything we've done before. I mean, even some of the new songs that are in the vein of 'Hate Song' or '99' just sound waaay heavier, for some reason. I have to leave the mixing room 'cause I get so jacked on adrenaline, 'cause it makes me want to break shit. And that is somehow a good thing."

A four-minute video clip from the studio can be viewed below.

Working songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Walk on Water", "Final Regression", "You", "Faultline" and "Narcotic".
