Leaders of Swedish thrash metal THE HAUNTED are about to set foot on European lands due to their massive tour during November and December with label mates GOD FORBID and Dutch death metal outfit God Dethroned. After successfully participating in the Ozzfest Tour across the US promoting their critically acclaimed last full-length “rEVOLVEr” overseas, their European fan-base no longer needs to envy its American counterpart but gets another chance to be thrashed til death!

Vocalist Peter Dolving is already well prepared:
“Yes! Ten days of rest after the US tour with Meshuggah, God Forbid and Mnemic - then we hit Europe! We’re really looking forward to this tour since it’s been a while since we last played in Europe. The shows in the US have been verging on magic and it feels like we’re become something truly disturbed. So we’re looking forward to see all of you in THE HAUNTED Army out there tearing it up with us, God Forbid and God Dethroned. Let’s do it!! Over and Out ! / Pete”

Some press comments on “rEVOLVEr”:

"Some kids bitch about The Haunted being too hyped. Just shut the fuck up and listen" Markus Grahn, CLOSE UP (S)
"'rEVOLVEr' is chock full of moshable, expertly-melodically-inflected modern thrash" Jonathan Selzer, TERRORIZER (UK)
“One shouldn’t consider it as possible, but on album number four THE HAUNTED celebrate an even deadlier mix of classic old-school-riffing and modern grooves. Rarely Thrash Metal sounded as powerful and fresh!“ Frank Albrecht, ROCK HARD (D)
