While everyone is all in a tizzy about the At the Gates reunion, the brothers Bjorler — with our favorite vocalist/ranter Peter Dolving — have also been working on new music for their other band. By now The Haunted have no doubt finished recording the follow-up to 2006’s excellent The Dead Eye; the album is tentatively called Versus and is due in late September via Century Media.

There’s some fan-filmed live footage of the band performing a new song at a festival in Sweden in June. Sounds to me like The Haunted are continuing to travel down the more moody, groove-based trail they set upon with The Dead Eye, which if you ask me is a good thing. Unfortunately the dick-hole who uploaded the video won’t allow embeds, so you’ll have to watch it here.

Also of consequence is that with a new Haunted album comes more philosophical Internet rants from Peter Dolving. Yay!
