THE HAUNTED Vocalist Marco Aro - "I'm So Fucking Glad To Be Back"
June 2, 2014, 10 years ago
Marco Aro holds the unique position of being both former and current vocalist for Swedish thrashers The Haunted. He sang on The Haunted Made Me Do It (2000), Live Rounds In Tokyo (2001), and One Kill Wonder (2003), only to be replaced by original singer Peter Dolving - who has once again left the band, leaving the door open for Marco to return for a second tour of duty.
Earlier today, Aro issued the following update: "Playing in my headphones right at this minute... a brand new The Haunted album. I'm so fucking glad to be back, and for me personally... my best work to date! Ladies and Gentlemen... this is going to kick your teeth in!"
The still-untitled upcoming new album sees The Haunted debut with their revamped band lineup featuring founding members Jonas Björler (bass) and Jensen (guitars) teaming up with returning former members Adrian Erlandsson (drums) and Marco Aro (vocals), together with newest member Ola Englund (guitars).

The relentless 58-second track "My Enemy" has also been leaked:
The Haunted have been busy at Antfarm Studio recording their newest, eighth studio album with producer Tue Madsen (Dark Tranquillity, Heaven Shall Burn), who previously worked with the band on their latest albums. Testament vocalist Chuck Billy has been announced as a guest on the new album, appearing on the track "Trendkiller".
