THE HAUNTED Guitarist Comments On 'The Dead Eye'

August 11, 2006

Swedish thrashers THE HAUNTED will release "The Dead Eye", the band's fifth official studio album, on October 31 via Century Media Records (one day earlier internationally).

Commented guitarist Anders Björler: "I just got the final master from Tue Madsen (our producer) with all the tracks in the final order, and it simply sounds killer. Completing 'The Dead Eye' basically took all spring, starting with some rehearsing and pre-production early January. We left the Antfarm studio in early June a bit perplexed but with a sense of having created something very strong and powerful. You always feel a bit weird after a recording session. It's hard to distance yourself from your work, but this time we all felt that we had accomplished something out of the ordinary. Working with Tue Madsen as engineer/producer has been great, and it surely reflects on the album. Tue has the same kind of musical background as all of us, so it was pretty easy to communicate ideas and to explain our vision."

In other news, THE HAUNTED just celebrated their tenth year of existence after being founded on July 27, 1996. Anders commented on this special moment in the band's history: "We wish to thank all the people that have been working with us from the start, and of course a big thanks to our fans supporting us through the years!"
