The single marks The Haunted’s recording debut in their revamped lineup announced last summer, featuring founding members Jensen (guitars) and Jonas Björler (bass), returning members Marco Aro (vocals) and Adrian Erlandsson (drums), as well as new member Ola Englund (guitars).

Jensen checked in to comment about the upcoming release as follows: “There aren't superlatives enough to describe how much the band has longed for these three songs to be released. We are sure fans have been anxious to know what the band sounds like today after all the turmoil and old members leaving and new members joining. We feel that these three songs represent the band perfectly. We are currently working on the new album, an album that will be filled to the brim with what we know to be The Haunted. We'll start doing gigs this spring and we'll do festivals all over the place this summer. Get in touch with the festivals you visit (and behave like an animal at) and tell them to get us on the bill! The Haunted is back. Play it loud. No. Louder.”

The Haunted are confirmed for the 2014 edition of The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise - 70000 Tons Of Metal, which will sail January 27th to 31st from Miami, Florida to Costa Maya, Mexico and back!

70000 Tons Of Metal confirmations now include: CARCASS, DARK TRANQUILLITY, DEATH ANGEL, D.R.I., FEAR FACTORY, FINNTROLL, THE HAUNTED, LEAVES' EYES, OVERKILL, SEPTIC FLESH, SOILWORK, SWALLOW THE SUN, SYMPHONY X and XANDRIA.

Are you ready for round four of The Original Heavy Metal Cruise? Imagine starting the year in style: In January 2014, 40 heavy metal bands and 2,000 fans from all over the world will travel once again to the Caribbean for a five day and four night trip of a lifetime... however, this will be the last time we are taking over the luxury cruise ship Majesty Of The Seas.

Make no mistake, this is not one of the cruises where you share the ship with regular cruise guests... and don't get intimidated by copy-cats! Unlike others we remove the seats in the theater, or do you like seated heavy metal shows? This is 70000 Tons Of Metal, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise, featuring the biggest Open Air Stage to sail the open seas!

Enjoy unrestricted festival access to all live shows on board, metal karaoke until sunrise, the All-Star Jam, clinics, work-shops, our infamous Belly Flop Contest, bars that never close, two full days at sea and the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with the artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. It's like everyone has a backstage pass!

And now get this... if you become a ticketed passenger before July 27th, 2013 you will be able to vote for the Caribbean dream destination we will be sailing The Majesty Of The Seas to one last time! More information on the voting procedure and the destinations to choose from will be announced... soon!"
