The Haunted Planning North American Tour

Among multiple recent updates, The Haunted frontman Peter Dolving has hinted at the band's upcoming North American tour plans:

"So here's the deal. We are putting a US tour together shortly after the EU-tour we do with All That Remains. I can't tell you yet what the other bands are but it's gonna be a diverse and yes, very cool billing(I know, but I'm not allowed to say yet... oh well.)and we hope you'll enjoy it."

More recently Dolving posted an update from the road in South America:

"I'm exhausted, it's a couple of hours after the show we just played in Santiago de Chile.

"How did the show go? It was insane. Really.

"I want to thank everyone who have come out to the shows so far in both Mexico and South America, Australia and Asia. The love and respect you people are showing at these shows is so profound I have little words to describe it. I am awestruck.

"I don't know what's going on with this record, but I do sense that something has changed in regard of our audience and us as a band. Something good, truly good is happening.

"I am so fucking grateful my heart is about to burst. The shows we've been playing so far this year have by far been the most intense ever since we started the band back in 96/97.

"It's as if the bullshit macho crap that was there for a while at shows we played is gone. It's unbelievable and so relieving. It's as if people are finally getting the whole fucking point to this music. To go fucking nuts. To just fucking lose it and let all the tarblack fucking ugliness out and be fucking done with it; TOGETHER.

"An hour and a half of sheer undiluted fucking release.

"I surrender to this completely.

"You people give me hope and reason and I can only say; Thank you. Thank you for caring. Thank you for listening. Thank you for hearing. You are fucking beautiful. Thank You!"

Finally, The Haunted was recently nominated for a Swedish Grammyy for best hard rock album 2008 for "Versus." The award ceremony will take place January 07, 2009.
