THE HAUNTED – finish pre-production for new album, post video online, festivals confirmed!
Swedish metal innovators THE HAUNTED are back on the map with some good news, as they have just finished the pre-production for their highly anticipated new, still untitled, album. The band is soon to enter PUK studio in Denmark to start working with producer Tue Madsen (Heaven Shall Burn, Dark Tranquillity, Moonspell, etc), who has already co-operated with THE HAUNTED on their two previous albums “rEVOLVEr” and “The Dead Eye”.
Jonas Björler (Bass) reports: "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. You can find the clip HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7jMiAbG4Wc)!
