Swedish thrashers THE HAUNTED have commenced the songwriting process for the follow-up to 2014’s Exit Wounds album. Guitarist Patrik Jensen states: “Not known as a band that likes to rest on our laurels, we’re pushing ahead with the follow-up to last year’s Exit Wounds album! We have most of the stuff written already, [and are] looking to record in August/September and to have it released before the end of this year.”
He adds: “We’re very excited about the new material and can’t wait to give you the chance to hear it! Better nail down the roof in good time… and reserve the top spot on your X-mas wish list for this upcoming aural bad boy!”
In the meantime, THE HAUNTED is continuing to promote Exit Wounds, which was released last August via Century Media Records. The band next travels starting this weekend take the group to China, Japan as well as to Australia, where they team up with Century Media labelmates INSOMNIUM for a string of shows. Furthermore, the band will appear at several European summer festivals, including Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium); Hellfest (France), Nord Open Air (Germany), Rock Harz (Germany), Brutal Assault (Czech Republic) and Metal Hammer Paradise (Germany).
