The Haunted are busy working on their new record at PUK studios in Denmark with producer Tue Madsen, and somewhere, in the woods outside of Gothenburg, frontman Peter Dolving is coming out of hibernation to resume his fantastic blog rants.
Just last night we were chatting with the dudes at Nonelouder about how The Haunted’s last album The Dead Eye (also produced by Madsen) was our favorite one yet — but we didn’t mention Dolving’s maniacal journal entries, which include nuggets such as this:
“How I’m feeling? Mutherfucker, I’m fucked. The shit I dream at night you wouldn’t believe. When I wake up I feel like I’m dead, I literally have minor hallucinations for the first halfhour until I’ve drugged myself with enough caffeine and sugar to murder an elephant.”
The Blabberbrat punters seem to ridicule Dolving into oblivion — but I, for one, think his writing is absolutely amazing. His rants on the world, politics, culture, life, psychology and um, oh yeah, music, are all right on the money.
Who thinks we take a stab at giving this guy a shot at a guest column on MetalSucks? If ever there was a match made in heaven. Plus, dude’s gonna have plenty of time on his hands this summer, whatwith the rest of the band members being busy with that At the Gates reunion and all…

I agree. Isn’t he writing a book anyway?
i would love to see peter have a column here.. just to see what he’d write…
Dead Eye as the best Haunted album? No way man. Have you even heard Made Me Do It?
Made Me Do It is hands down the best Haunted album. It slays from start to finish.
Dead Eye was decent, but I dunno, something about it that made me not love it.
giving dolving a column would be a phenomenol idea. id love to read it
peter dolving isn’t even the best vocalist to ever be associated with the haunted…that honor belongs to marco aro. the haunted made me do it is, as tj already said, a flawless slab of metallic aggression. one kill wonder was an impressive album too.
but ultimately dolving’s best work was the self titled. revolver (i won’t even bother with the idiotic spelling trope) saw the band as a shadow of their former self. at least the crown picked up where the haunted made me do it left off.
Why not? If nothing else, you’ll get all the blabberbitchers here whining about his column and your traffic will increase.
I’d love to see him do a column on here. I usually enjoy hearing what he has to say.
a peter dolving guest column? a thousand times yes! do it now!
bring on the Dolving column. and bring on the next THE HAUNTED record. they never disappoint.
Would be fucking hilarious.
Especially since the guy is rather fucked up.
[...] the opposite is true). His band happens to be fucking awesome too. So we figured, hey, why not see if he’s up for porting his rants to MetalSucks? Through a little bit of luck and some good connections (you know who you are — thanks, dude!) we [...]
