  The Haunted - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Haunted are a Swedish thrash metal band with melodic death metal influences, formed in 1996.
The Haunted combined the sounds of 1980s Bay Area thrash acts like Metallica and Forbidden, as well as Los Angeles thrash bands Slayer and Dark Angel, with the local Swedish death metal stylings of such bands as Dark Tranquillity.
Their second album The Haunted Made Me Do It, released in 2000, was more melodic and resembled the "Gothenburg" style (At the Gates, etc) more than old-school thrash and speed metal.

With the release of their second album, The Haunted Made Me Do It, they have further demonstrated to the metal underground that they are more than the one-off side project originally planned.
Earpollution's Steve Weatherholt recently caught up with vocalist Marco Aro while The Haunted were on tour with Cannibal Corpse and Dimmu Borgir to find out how both the band and the new album are doing.
The bands in Sweden, for instance, they do not go for image, they just go for the music because that is what is most important for them.

The haunted made me do it is clearly marked by the former At the gates members, and it is wonderful to hear creative new-school trash.

 No Life Til Metal - The Haunted
Certainly The Haunted fall into the later category relying more on speed and aggression than anything melodic or progressive, and the Slayer comparison is not far off in and of itself.
I had read a review at AMG that basically stated that this album was "on the same pedestal as Entombed's Wolverine Blues, Carcass' Heartwork, and Metallica's Master of Puppets albums that crossed over from the underground without compromising their integrity." Those were some pretty incredible, groundbreaking metal albums.
"The Haunted made me do it" is that band's sophomore release after enlisting a new vocalist and drummer.

The Haunted claim to be inspired by old-school thrashers like Testament, but their influences clearly stretch back to Rainbow and the Scorpions (though they eschew the showy vocals of Dio and Klaus Meine).
The Haunted emerged in 1998 from the ashes of Sweden's legendary metal titans, At The Gates.
Although The Haunted's first two albums were both excellent, apparently they were just warmups for "One Kill Wonder." The Haunted's third album certainly isn't a departure from their modernized version of old-school thrash metal, but it distinguishes itself by being even faster, darker, and more malevolent than its predecessors.

 The Haunted Theater
While no one can deny that the Haunted Theater was a tremendous success, there were those in the Dramateurs who would much rather put on a play in the months of September and October, the period of time required to build and perform the Haunted Theater, and pressures were brought to bear.
Arlene Sargent, the soul of the Haunted Theater and Mentor to all who were fortunate enough to encounter her, passed away on July 31, 2001.
Later, as the funeral procession made its way through town to the graveyard, the line of cars was so long that the local news radio station started to issue traffic reports on the delays it caused.

The reincarnation of At the Gates, known as The Haunted, have found a good formula on this, their second release.
Compared to bands with similar vocals, like In Flames or Arch Enemy, the vocals on The Haunted Made Me Do It will be less likely to irritate those who think Swedish melodic death is pretty cool, but the vocals have got to go.
Like Slaughter of the Soul, some of the riffs on different songs do sound a little similar, but anyone who even remotely likes Swedish melodic death will be happy with The Haunted Made Me Do It.

 Teufel's Tomb : Brutal Isn't Just A Way Of Life... It's Also Stupid!
Sure, they're by no means impressive thrash and are hardly anywhere near the caliber of the band that spawned them (At The Gates), but The Haunted Made Me Do It and One Kill Wonder both had some excellent tunes on them.
Yeah- with the exception of a few Haunted Made Me Do It type riffs- this sounds nearly identical in structure, style, and arrangement as the self-titled album.
The Haunted relocate to Century Media, bring back their old vocalist who is a hell of a lot more accessible with today's metalcore obsession, write the album to be nowhere near as heavy as they have become, and even pull an In Flames-esque album name (the artwork of the album actually reads rEVOLVEr).

The third track, "Abysmal," introduces a gloomy element to the band's normal, stealthy, manic pace, and its controlling atmosphere stands distinctively apart from the rip-your-eyes-out energy of the follow-up, "Sabotage." The seventh track, "Burnt to a Shell," is the other standout mid-tempo song, and it builds enormously towards a head-banging climax after a slicing solo.
Dolving is a masterful vocalist, and he shows off nearly all of his tricks on the fifth track, "All Against All," hitting a range of notes that would cause the feeble to explode.
The sequencing on here is more engaging, and the band's ability to do battle with both fast and slow tempos is an additional sword around the belt.

 The Haunted - One Kill Wonder - review @ Tartareandesire.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Haunted have been proclaimed by the metal community to be the “Saviors of Thrash metal” and also the “Next Slayer”, those comparisons being both bold and very hard to live up to.
This is partially due to the nullification of any clean vocals but let me guarantee that what the album may lack in accessibililty it makes up for in sheer brutality and technical ability.
The Haunted sounds tighter knit and better than ever, with seamless song structures and an added bonus, which is a second helping of instrumental thrash metal served up under the name “Demon Eyes”.

In reality, the Haunted has the capacity to be huge here, there’s just a lot of work ahead of them.

The Haunted have one job to do, and they get right in there and do it, without a lot of fucking around - and the results are crushing.
The Haunted Made Me Do It was probably this band's "perfect record," the one they'll be known for 30 years from now - but One Kill Wonder is a damn fine followup, a swift kick in the ass from one of the most punishing bands on the scene today.
They'll never be accused of being particularly innovative, but they do their thrash ripoff/homage (depending on what side of the royalty check you're on, I guess) with such ferocity, that they own even the parts they outright pillage, through sheer force of attack alone.

Finally the tide is beginning to turn and Insision can proudly state that they have never deviated from their chosen path, and that perhaps their time is at hand.
Building on the reputation of some well distributed demos and also a MCD 'The Dead Live On', Incision signed to Wicked World in 2001 and quickly entered Berno Studios (where The Haunted concocted 'The Haunted Made Me Do It') to record their debut full length.
The resulting album, 'Beneath the Folds of Flesh' is testament to the bands enduring belief in the music they play and the flat refusal to compromise the sound or presentation of the band.

In the case of Sweden’s internationally acclaimed band THE HAUNTED which was spawned in the mid-‘90s, songwriter/guitarist Anders Björler and lyricist/vocalist Peter Dolving were seminal architects.
Their highly anticipated release for 2000, The Haunted Made Me Do It, held the number one slot on the CMJ Loud Rock Radio Chart for four weeks, clinched exposure on MTV’s "You Hear It First," and won a Swedish Grammy for Best Hard Rock Album.
Alternative Press hailed THE HAUNTED as one of metal’s 25 Most Important Bands while the album dominated the metal press and radio charts around the world, earning the group their first tour of Australia and South Africa, a return tour to Japan, and a second Swedish Grammy.

Allow me to preface this review with the shocking news that I was one of the few who purchased The Haunted and was disappointed.
The Haunted are at the top of the hardcore-crossover-Gothenburg-death-metal heap, but it is a very old heap and starts to get boring after the first five or ten albums.
Gone is the sense of fury and fire which fueled so many of their early albums and the earnest explorations of the possibilities of musical suicide that made the triptych of albums in the 1990s so engrossing.

Several years have passed since The Haunted released their self-titled debut and, while the band has inducted a new singer and percussionist into its ranks, the unrelenting thrash attack not only remains in full force, but has been pushed even further into redline territory.
Strains of venomous melody have infected both the vocals and the guitars, fleshing out The Haunted's metal onslaught and allowing the rhythm team to nail every tempo shift with a mixture of bludgeoning violence and dexterous precision.
Recorded in March 2000, The Haunted Made Me Do It was delayed by several months due to a dispute with the band's record label, but it has finally seen the light of day and is taking no prisoners in its efforts to corrupt and/or destroy eardrums around the globe.

Like few others, The Haunted don't seem to be compelled by shifting motifs from album to album, satisfied instead to excel and accelerate beyond that which they've previously done and raise the level of intensity within the ranks of an increasingly formidable battalion of fl-minded bullet theorists.

The second album from the Swedish band The Haunted, built in the ashes of the great At The Gates, contains close to 40 minutes of murderous death metal.
The quality of Swedish metal is still very high as shown by this release and The Haunted is one of the really big death/thrash bands today among others like In Flames, Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel.
The music is very melodic, fast and aggressive like At The Gates once were and hopefully we will see more albums from this band in the future.

Following a good album, their self-titled “The Haunted”, this Swedish band is back.
Demolishing, aggressive, fearfully perfect, “The Haunted Made Me Do It” has blasting riffs, great and well placed solos, deep bass, powerful drums, infernal vocals (sector which benefited with a line-up change since the last work), well, everything a great extreme Metal album needs.
“The Haunted Made Me Do It” is the Thrash Metal masterpiece that has been failing to emerge in the last few years and the brutal Death Metal originality we have been expecting.

Although the Haunted are from Sweden, you shouldn't let that fact fool you.
The metal world may associate that country with death metal (be it melodic or otherwise), but the Haunted's self-titled debut is pure thrash.
Much like their colleagues the Crown, the Haunted play a brand of energetic thrash that is just a complete blast to listen to.

The first THE HAUNTED album I bought since it came free attached to THE HAUNTED’s second effort, “The Haunted Made Me Do It”.
Catchy riffs and mandatory-headbanging are demanded at all times as THE HAUNTED tear through their inventory of audio weaponry much to the approval of the rabid Japanese fans in attendance at the Akasaka Blitz venue.
Very few pauses are taken by the band and they never seem to tire from pouring it all out to give a solid hour worth every penny spent on the CD and those who paid for the show itself.
