THE HAUNTED, LOST IN THE RUINS
Monday, February 23rd, 2009 at 3:00pm by Axl RosenbergActually I doubt that Scott Smith’s book or the ensuing cinematic adaptation really had much influence on the makers of The Haunted’s new video, “Trenches.” But, I’m sleepy and simple minded today and they’re both about killer plants, so, there ya have it. Deal with it, bitches.
The Haunted are doing an awesome tour later this year with Nachtmystium, Kylesa and Intronaut. While you’re waiting for it to come to your town, don’t forget to check out Haunted frontman Peter Dolving’s guest blogs for MetalSucks here and here.

I saw The Haunted in ‘07 with Dark Tranquillity, and sorry to say, but they were absolute garbage. I like their studio work, but they were terrible live, especially when performing after Dark Tranquillity who were fantastic.
I’ve always loved Dolving’s vocals, but the music is just not aggressive or pissed off enough to match him.
The tour seems awesome (even though it’s not coming anywhere near me). It’s strange however, that musically, the support bands are pretty far away from The Haunted.
