Swedish thrashers on US tour

Swedish Thrash Metallers THE HAUNTED are busy songwriting work for their upcoming studio album release, which is expected to be recorded later this year. The band checked in with the following comment: “Next to playing a US tour and a bunch of dates in Europe, THE HAUNTED are hard at work for the follow up album to ‘Exit Wounds’. The material we are currently looking at is both super-heavy and dynamic, so we are excited to be recording the new tracks later in the year. Stay tuned!“
