The Haunted

The Haunted is a Swedish heavy metal band known for their aggressive sound that blends thrash metal with elements of melodic death metal and hardcore. Formed by former members of At the Gates in 1996, the band has undergone several lineup changes throughout its career yet managed to retain a consistent presence in the metal scene. With a catalogue marked by both critical acclaim and fan adoration, The Haunted has become a stalwart within their genre. Their style is characterized by ferocious riffing, relentless rhythms, and a fusion of growling and screaming vocals that often confront dark and introspective themes.

With their 1998 self-titled debut, The Haunted made a significant impact and established their potent musical identity. The release of "One Kill Wonder" in 2003 further solidified their reputation for crafting uncompromising and intense metal anthems. As they progressed, albums like "rEVOLVEr" (2004) and "The Dead Eye" (2006) saw the band experimenting with their sound, adding new layers of complexity and atmosphere to their already formidable sonic assault. The group's later work, especially albums like "Unseen" (2011) and "Exit Wounds" (2014), along with the releases of live records such as "Road Kill" and "Live in Malmö," attest to The Haunted's enduring influence and unwavering commitment to their craft. Their latest full-length effort, "Strength in Numbers" (2017), continues this tradition, offering fans another dose of the relentless energy and technical proficiency that they have come to expect from the Swedish metal veterans.
