Swedish metal band The Haunted will release a new album titled Strength In Numbers on August 25 through Century Media Records. The record was produced by Russ Russell (Dimmu Borgir, Napalm Death) and features artwork from Andreas Pettersson.
After a strong finish on a series of tour dates across the UK and Central Europe alongside heavy-hitters' Meshuggah and Arch Enemy respectively, Swedish thrash metallers' The Haunted have been busy completing the recording and mixing process of their upcoming, ninth studio album effort. Recorded at Parlour Studios in the UK with producer Russ Russell (Napalm Death, Dimmu Borgir, The Exploited), the album is entitled Strength In Numbers and will be released worldwide via Century Media Records on August 25, 2017.
The Haunted's guitarist Ola Englund has checked in with the following comment: "Working on 'Strength In Numbers' with Russ Russell as an engineer and producer has been an incredible experience. His attitude and positivity has helped us to truly do our best when recording. He's just a killer guy to be around!," adding: "All the tracking for the album has been completed and Russ is right in the middle of mixing and mastering it. And from the early mixes I've heard, it's shaping up to be insanely heavy. No clean singing, no banjo, no pickup trucks...so fans of country music are gonna hate it, haha! Seriously: Heads are gonna roll. In a good way..."
The Haunted's Adrian Erlandsson described the new track, stating: "'Spark' is the second video from our upcoming album "Strength In Numbers". It's a brooding and catchy number which shows a more melodic side of the album. One of those songs that will remain in our live set for years to come. Turn it up and watch it all burn!!!"
