THE HAUNTED Sign With CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS

June 4, 2004

Swedish thrashers THE HAUNTED have signed a worldwide, multi-album deal with Century Media Records. The band has already completed work on their highly anticipated, as-yet-untitled, fourth album which will be released this fall.

Commented guitarist Anders Björler: "We are happy to have chosen Century Media for the next couple of albums. Century Media is a legendary metal label, and we feel strongly they'll support us in the best way possible."

Phil Hinkle, director of A&R for Century Media America, added: "It's an honor to be working with THE HAUNTED, and they make our already outstanding roster that much more stellar." Leif Jensen, A&R manager for Century Media Europe, comments "Personally and professionally, we look forward to lead this great band to full worldwide success. Their time is now!"

Recorded at Gothenburg's famed Studio Fredman (IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR, ARCH ENEMY) with co-producers Patrik J. Sten and Fredrik Nordström and mixed at Denmark's Antfarm Studio by Tue Madsen, the album features such cuts as "All Against All", "99" (preview),"Who Will Decide" (featuring a guest appearance by SICK OF IT ALL vocalist Lou Koller) and "Burnt To A Shell". THE HAUNTED also have a new addition to the fold, as original vocalist Peter Dolving, who crushed on the group's genre-defining self-titled debut release, returns with a vengeance.

Regarding Dolving's return and the new album, Anders Björler said, "It's nice to have Dolving back in the band. He's energetic, hard-working and had thousands of fresh musical ideas upon his return. We look forward to what the future will hold for us as a band. After having recorded this new album I feel confident it will work out extremely well. Be on the look out for something really powerful this fall"

Upcoming THE HAUNTED shows:

Jun. 09 – Copenhagen, DEN - Stengade (w/ ENTOMBED)
Jun. 10 – Sölvesborg, SWE - Sweden Rock Festival
Jun. 25 - Le Mans, FRA - Fury Fest
