THE HAUNTED To Film 'Trenches' Video

Swedish metal band THE HAUNTED has issued the following update:

"We just finished a world tour of Asia, Australia, South America. We just have one word for the experience: Overwhelming. We never realized we had so many fans in all the corners of the world. It just proves how big the metal movement is, and how dedicated people are to it. Some people had travelled over 2,000 kilometers to attend the shows. Just crazy. Overall, we are kinda exhausted from all the flying. I guess it comes down to around 25 flights in four weeks' time. We are tired of airports by now, but the experience to visit all the countries and people has certainly been beyond worth it.

"We would like to thank all the people coming out for the shows. We had a great time, and c-ya again soon!

"Right now we are preparing for a mini tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland followed by a video shoot for 'Trenches', which will premiere early next year, but more info on that soon. Also, next year, as you all know by now; we are joining forces with ALL THAT REMAINS for a full-length European tour, followed by additional shows in some of the countries not covered on the European tour."

THE HAUNTED has released the non-album track "Walk On Water" exclusively via the U.S. iTunes Music Store. The song was recorded during the sessions for the group's latest album, "Versus", which sold around 1,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. This represents roughly half of the opening tally of its predecessor, "The Dead Eye", which premiered with 3,200 units back in November 2006.

"Versus" entered the Swedish chart at position No. 14 and the Finnish chart at No. 12.

An e-card for "Versus" can be found at this location.

The CD was recorded in part at PUK studio in Denmark with producer Tue Madsen (HEAVEN SHALL BURN, DARK TRANQUILLITY, MOONSPELL, etc),who previously worked with the group on its two most recent LPs, "rEVOLVEr" (2004) and "The Dead Eye" (2006).
