THE HAUNTED

Release Year: 2011
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: modern groovy hard/heavy metal

the seventh studio album from Swedish five-piece, led by Björler brothers [At The Gates], recorded with longtime producer Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio in Denmark, is a complete move away from their dynamic thrash/death metal foundation, carved in the course of fifteen years, surprising many but not those who think forward and gladly accept changes: with these twelve ambitious cuts The Haunted stake out a new, equally potent and unique territory, making a bunch of catchy, groovy heavy metal tunes, also nodding their heads to classic hard rock heritage, maintaining a strong standard of quality, resulting in tasty execution of material that makes new bands just pale in front of this bald longplay
