Sweden’s THE HAUNTED continue promoting their newest album release, Unseen, which hit the charts at #5 in Sweden as well as #26 in Finland upon release. After an Australian tour and a busy summer schedule which saw the band appear at major European open air festival events like Sweden Rock (Sweden), Hellfest (France), Wacken (Germany) or also Summer Breeze (Germany), The Haunted have most recently announced a run of dates in Sweden with ENTOMBED as part of the 2011 edition of the Close-Up Made Us Do It tour, a couple of headlining shows in Greece as well as a (re-scheduled) tour of Japan together with Norwegian acts IHSAHN and LEPROUS.

Now, The Haunted have launched the first promotional video clip for the Unseen album. The video for 'No Ghost' can be viewed below. This intense live version of 'No Ghost' was filmed at Germany’s famous Wacken Open Air Festival 2011 by Marcel Schleiff and edited by Anders Björler. The live sound recording was engineered by Jacky Lehmann / Audiosound Lehmann and then mixed by the band’s longterm producer Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio in Denmark.

The Haunted have also just confirmed three shows in China (in collaboration with XOUNDFORCE) as part of their upcoming Asian tour in December.

The band has checked in with a message about these shows and video clip’s debut: “A little update from The Haunted camp: We are proud to share the following live video for 'No Ghost', which was filmed this summer at Wacken Open Air. The Wacken crew did a great job filming and Tue Madsen did exceptional work mixing this time around. We are currently preparing for some club shows in Greece, in Sweden with Entombed as well as a tour of Japan and China. China will be a first for us and we are very excited about this. We are also looking at some more touring next year, but more info about that soon. ‘Til then, keep checking our website and Facebook for updates and news.”
