... shit.

I mean what is there to say right now? It's early july, the twins are out with At The Gates kickin ass, I honestly haven't got a clue what the Jensens are up to, but it most likely involves chillin out and not trying to do much at all. Personally I've been a busy bee, finishing the record cover, special edition and vinyl cover and scheming for a really twisted video for the first track together with my good old time friend Pelle Evensen. In the daytime I've tried my best being a dad and it feels like I'm succeeding pretty fucking grand. Oh, and getting divorced. Oh, yes - we are still friends but it is painful stuff going through all the thoughts and emotions and now finally having signed the papers and getting the appropriate help in working out who gets what etc. but we are getting through it slowly and carefully.

We got some mad shows coming up in the fall. And a few good tours, at the moment we are not looking at coming over to the US until after the new year, but this is the most perverted industry next to guns and oil, so anything can still happen. Hopefully we'll see as many of you as possible at Wacken or any of the shows that we've made official so far. 

The record will be released in september, but you allready knew that right? I can't say a hell of a lot more at the moment because it's all record company preparing their stuff for the best way to present what's coming. We played it to our friends from Machine Head and Soilwork in Madrid a couple of weeks back and their response was pretty much "FUCK!" then they went out and put on immense shows.

Oh! - Anders pretty much finished a movie about, well - us, kinda, mostly it's about living in transit and being five dudes in a cult metal band. Don't really know if it's going to be released or not but I've seen it and it makes it pretty clear that The Haunted are a pretty weird group of people. I like it.

So that's what's cooking right now. For anyone who was at the "Peace and Love"-festival in Borlänge you know we're ripped and ready to go, just gotta wait a little and take it easy.

Peace out / Pete

I have a 6-disc changer in my car - I put DEAD EYE in slot-6 when it was released (Halloween 2006) - IT HAS NEVER LEFT THE CAR, NOT EVEN ONCE.

I imagine the next CD will have the same staying power in my car - THE HAUNTED FUCKING ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will BUY, not download it.

RHESUS (NUEVOS TEMAS!!!)

 
The whole band were to the Electric Weekend fest in Madrid. Congratulations (extensive to the "twins" for the amazing return of At The Gates). We really enjoyed your gigs(also Machine Fucking Head, and Soilwork. It´s a pitty that Metallica didin´t reach the level of their name.

Can't wait to see ya at Wakkn! And At the gates too!

How do you guys manage the two shows? Is that an easy task for the Jensen Brothers playing at the biggest metal festival with two bands?

However, for us this is gonna be one hell of an event!
Carcass, The Haunted, At the Gates, Cynic, Exodus, Soilwork and Obituary! To name but a few!

Bottles up! Only 23 days until WACKEN!

The Haunted

 
OK I gotta say - There are no Jensen bros. in The Haunted. There are a couple of Björler bro. and they are related. There are also no Marx bros. nor any Cartwrights whatsoever. There is however one brother Jensen, though he's in no way bloodkin to the other brother Jensen, who incidentally also has a father and mother named, that's right...Jensen. None of the Jensens are related to Leif Jensen at Century Media, and so far, as far as I know, none of them are in a band called At The Gates. The Björler Brothers however have been known to enter the stage in the role of "The Björler Twins" in formerly mentioned At The Gates.

Got it?

Pete, don't be so cruel to them "for they know nothing" :lol:
Seriously, this album is way overdue IMO but I can wait that couple of months longer. It will be great to see you again whether screaming down my face or chewing the fat in some dingy dressing room like that one in Leeds :)

I meet this blog with mixed reactions. Sucks about your divorce, and best of luck with it, and I'm also a little upset about you guys leaving us in the US off until next year! Haha.
But I'm really happy to hear some new Haunted and at the same time, glad to hear that there will be a US tour.

Make sure you guys get to Dallas on a weekend some time.
Because I have school and shit and I'm already sacrificing a ton of shit to go to Opeth on a Wednesday!

Take it easy, all of you.
-Evan
