Swedish titans THE HAUNTED have returned a dynamic new offering, The Dead Eye, which sees the band effectively combine elements of their previous efforts while exploring new ideas to continuously challenge themselves. The album is now in stores, while a special collector’s edition of The Dead Eye is also available, featuring two bonus tracks (“The Highwire” and “The Program”), a bonus DVD with the “Making of The Dead Eye,” music videos for “All Against All” and No Compromise” and two live audio versions of “99” and “Abysmal.” The videos and live tracks are all from rEVOLVEr, the band’s 2004 album.

Peter Dolving (vocals) describes his thoughts on the new disc: “This album is simply more diverse, dynamic and heavy as fuck. Look forward to an album we're all extremely proud of.” The highly anticipated new effort was recorded in Denmark at Antfarm Studios with renowned producer Tue Madsen (Himsa, Sick Of It All) and looks to be their most accomplished work yet. A video for the track “The Flood” was also recently shot by renowned director Roger Johansson (Arch Enemy, In Flames); look for it to make its online debut in the coming weeks.

THE HAUNTED will make their triumphant return to the U.S. this November on the Blackest of The Black tour with Danzig, labelmates Lacuna Coil, Belphegor and Asesino. Check out the tour section for their complete fall touring itinerary.

I like the record, it's kinda mainstreamish but I enjoy it a lot.
