Swedish thrash metallers The Haunted will unleash their new, ninth studio album entitled Strength In Numbers, on August 25th worldwide via Century Media Records. The album’s second single and video, “Spark”, has been released today.

Drummer Adrian Erlandsson checked in with the following comment about the new track: “’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!”

The previously launched first single “Brute Force” can be enjoyed below.

​

Recorded at Parlour Studios in The UK with producer Russ Russell (Napalm Death, Dimmu Borgir, The Exploited), Strength In Numbers comes with artwork by The Haunted’s longtime designer Andreas Pettersson.
