Sweden’s thrash-Innovators THE HAUNTED kicked off their co-headlining tour with All That Remains on January 17, 2009 in Nottingham and will be crushing European stages until mid-February. They will use this opportunity to further promote their highly acclaimed current album, “Versus,” live. The band states:

"So here we go again. It's clobbering time, time to crush, time to destroy another batch of the innocent youth of European white trash and middle class brats, it's time to rock, it's time to tour. Basically - It's gonna be a month of plowing through clubs like a metal SWAT team, drinking way too much coffee, aching muscles and pretty maidens wildy ravaged and plundered. yeah you know the story, Viking style metal up yer ass. So ladies and the rest of you. Come out, get loose, go insane and rock the fuck out with us! / The Haunted”

Afterwards, THE HAUNTED will heading out on a mini-tour through Spain in March as well as a US headlining run in April and shall return to European stages during this year’s festival season, see below for a complete list of upcoming dates.

The band has also finished the work on its stunning new promo video for the song “Trenches” with up and coming director Daniel Larsson and producer Thomas Tjäder / Addictive Alliance. The clip will be premiered in the coming weeks. Expect a wicked mini horror movie THE HAUNTED-style.

Yes - the new album is very good - heavy, yet melodic..it sounds like the Haunted really took their time to write a good album.

I am not really impressed with their latest cd. I really like what they have put out, even thought Dead Eye had some redeeming qualities, but for some reason, Versus has not grabbed me.
