The Haunted: : Sign new worldwide deal with Century Media Records

Century Media Records — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:59:10 GMT

Swedish thrashers THE HAUNTED have announced signing a new worldwide deal with Century Media Records after a successful partnership for the band's stunning three last albums ("rEVOLVEr", "The Dead Eye", "Versus"). THE HAUNTED's Peter Dolving (vocals) comments: "So once again we've decided to sign with Century Media Records. It feels good to get continuation, and truly having worked hard on communication on both ends over these last years, has brought us together in ways that I believe a lot of bands/managements/labels only dream of. Long term goals, open agendas, and a Norse/German stubborn attitude seem so be something we find a mutual trust and strength in and we're really looking forward to a continued cooperation with our friends/partners at Century Media. It is a strange thing this, the business of music, but like everything else, it seems to come down to hard work, earnestness, straight talk and respect. So here's to many more years of churning out metal to the masses. Peace!"

The Haunted: : THE HAUNTED Vocalist Issues Controversial Political Rant On MTV News; Post New Video

Century Media Records — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Sweden's THE HAUNTED have returned with a new offering that marks a much welcomed return to the band's trademarked aggressive, thrashy sound. The highly anticipated Versus, once again produced by the acclaimed Tue Madsen (Dark Tranquillity), features a no click tracks, no triggers and no faking it approach and consequently develops a fascinating level of dynamics and heaviness from its basic live-recording procedure that lets the band's uncompromising power-groove do the talking. The group's outspoken and sometimes controversial frontman, Peter Dolving, recently checked in with MTV News' Metal File with his thoughts on next week's election. Dolving said he\\'s been keeping a close eye on both campaigns, and he even watched the three televised debates. But he\\'s not impressed with either candidate and feels they\\'re just espousing the same old politics of their predecessors. Click the link below to check it out. [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1598301/20081030/haunted.jhtml](http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1598301/20081030/haunted.jhtml) THE HAUNTED's first video clip for Versus is for the track "Moronic Colossus (live at Wacken 2008)" and can be viewed now exclusively at MySpace. The band comments: "We recorded the whole show at Wacken Open Air this summer and we picked 'Moronic Colossus' as the first promo video. You might think releasing a live video as the first promo clip would be odd, but considering Versus was recorded live we all felt that this was a pretty natural choice!" Check out the clip at the following link: [http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=45431063](http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=45431063) With this album THE HAUNTED ultimately prove that their songwriting prowess is indefinable and undeniable, showing everyone that within this genre there are no limitations.
