THE HAUNTED BIOGRAPHY
The Haunted are a melodic death metal influenced thrash metal band from Sweden. Formed in the mid-90's after the demise of the legendary Melodic Death Metal band At the Gates. The main musicians of At The Gates (namely the Björler Brothers) wanted to take a more Thrash approach to their music. So far they've released 6 albums (5 studio, 1 live). Their self-titled debut album was released in 1998 on Earache Records after The Haunted inherited At The Gates contract. Their latest album The Dead Eye was released in 2006. The Haunted consists of 5 members, with Peter Dolving back as the lead vocalist since Revolver (2004). Dolving sang on the first album, and Marco Aro performed on the ones inbetween. Currently, the band is touring the new album The Dead Eye.
