Info:

Swedish thrash metal titans THE HAUNTED are finally back with their highly anticipated fourth album, entitled “rEVOLVEr”. After receiving worldwide praise, winning two Swedish Grammy Awards and touring comprehensively with acts as diverse as Slayer, Nile, Nasum, Morbid Angel, HammerFall, In Flames, Napalm Death, Nine, Cannibal Corpse, Dimmu Borgir, Lamb Of God, Martyr AD, Mastodon, Shai Hulud and Funeral For A Friend to support their first three releases, THE HAUNTED signed a new deal with Century Media Records. They promptly entered Gothenburg's famed Studio Fredman (In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy) with co-producers Patrik J. Steen & Fredrik Nordström to record their latest metal offering, “rEVOLVEr”. The record was mixed and mastered at Denmark's Antfarm Studio with Tue Madsen. The result is a sonically brilliant and extremely aggressive album. Britain’s Kerrang! Magazine once labelled THE HAUNTED as "the single greatest exponents of balls-out metal in the world" and “rEVOLVEr”, which features the return of original vocalist Peter Dolving to the band’s ranks, is determined to show that THE HAUNTED are the undisputed European leaders of a new generation of extreme metal. They are a favorite amongst fans of traditional metal, thrash/death extremists and modern hardcore followers. On this record they raise the bar even further with relentlessly driving songs like the furious opening track “No Compromise”, “Sabotage”, “Liquid Burns”
and “Sweet Relief”, plus melody-driven tracks like “All Against All” (the album’s first single), “Nothing Right”, the violently grooving “99”. “Who Will Decide” as well as the gloomy “Burnt To A Shell” and the apocalyptically epic “My Shadow”. “rEVOLVEr” is an entertaining, vicious release that showcases an immensely talented band in their prime. It displays a band that is second to none in today’s metal scene. Packaged in classy artwork that is in the band’s typical morbid style and crafted by an intelligent
lyrical delivery, “rEVOLVEr” is the album that leads a whole genre out of its dead end path. It will soon be recognized as an ultimate contemporary masterpiece for the whole extreme music movement! THE HAUNTED are here to dominate, but feel free to witness their coming (heavy) for yourself.
