THE HAUNTED - "The Boys Have Never Played Better"
April 20, 2008, 16 years ago
THE HAUNTED vocalist Peter Dolving has issued the following progress report:
"So, where to start? I'm recording vocals. Brilliant, that sounds informative and I'm sure the sales points to a quote like that are marvellous...The 12 songs I've done vocals on so far crush! Yeah that's right, I'm not feeling sad about it either. It's just straight up crushing. I don't know what else to say. The recordings the guys came home with from PUK just kick ass and anyone who's ever seen us live will know what the hell I'm talking about. It's simple really, if you like what we do you will fucking love this record. If not, well - I'm sure I can find something better to do than waste my time on comments about that.
Can I describe the material with out sounding completely Spinal Tap? Nope.
So I'll just accept this simple reality. I love it. The boys have never played better, and nothing we've ever ever done has ever carried as much weight as this. Oh! Of course... we've got a song we call 'The Whitesnake song', but Tue (Madsen) says it sounds like 'Master...'-era Metallica, which only shows how fucked up our perception on reality has become.
And yes, there are solos. Real solos. Not just cheese bullshit for equilibristic analretentics - nope, Andy's been putting some genuinly inspired gifted stuff on this outing - well, that's my opinion and you know how balanced I tend to generally be.
Peace / Pete"
