THE HAUNTED – Albumankündigung; erste Single & Video
THE HAUNTED – kündigen ihr neues Studioalbum „Songs of Last Resort“ an; veröffentlichen Single und Video zum Opener „Warhead“; Album-Vorbestellung hat begonnen!
Die schwedischen Thrash-Metal-Pioniere THE HAUNTED melden sich mit einem Paukenschlag zurück! Acht lange Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung ihres letzten und viel beachteten Studioalbums „Strength in Numbers“ freuen sich THE HAUNTED, ihr kommendes, 10. Studioalbum mit dem Titel „Songs of Last Resort“ ankündigen zu können, das am 30. Mai 2025 weltweit über ihre langjährigen Partner Century Media Records veröffentlicht wird.
Die Musik wurde von Oscar Nilsson im Studio Bohus aufgenommen, die Vocals von Björn Strid im The Cellar Studio. Gemischt und gemastert wurde „Songs of Last Resort“ dann von Jens Bogren in den Fascination Street Studios (Kreator, Arch Enemy, Sepultura usw.). Das Artwork stammt erneut von dem langjährigen visuellen Kollaborateur Andreas „Diaz“ Pettersson.
Außerdem wird heute mit dem Album-Opener „Warhead“ die erste Single samt Video aus „Songs of Last Resort“ veröffentlicht. Das Video zu „Warhead“ unter der Regie von Patric Ullaeus / www.rEvolver.se (In Flames, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir usw.) gibt es hier: https://youtu.be/itmNIR-akwk
THE HAUNTED’s vocalist Marco Aro checked in with the following comment about the song: “This is the first single of our new album “Songs of Last Resort”. The song is called “Warhead” and it’s an aggressive statement about the absolute horrors of the world we now have to live in!”.
THE HAUNTED’s guitarist Jensen elaborated further about the “Warhead” single as follows: “When writing this song, I knew that we were on to writing a good album. The main riff came to me at work, and I had to take the afternoon off that day to immediately get it recorded and worked on while the inspiration from this one riff was still creating goosebumps. Lyrics are about various people in charge being "war heads", thriving in one way or another off of waging war. The intro sound fx were created together with Örjan Örnkloo (ex Misery Loves Company, who also performs on ‘To Bleed Out’ and the title track ‘Letters of Last Resort’). I think it’s not a stretch to say that this song stand a real chance of becoming a fixture of our live set for many years to come…”.
