The Haunted to record 9th album this year

The Haunted say they’ll wrap up recording their ninth album later this year.

The band are also scheduled to play a run of headline shows and festivals in the US and Europe in addition to their US tour with label mates At The Gates.

The Haunted say: “Next to playing a US tour and a bunch of dates in Europe, we 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.”

The thrash outfit previously slated the album’s release for August or September 2015.

Exit Wounds was vocalist Marco Aro’s first album in his second stint with The Haunted, after he returned to the band in 2013. He replaced Peter Dolving in 1999, after himself being replaced by Dolving in 2003.
