Carl Fisher 1 min read

It’s been far too long, but finally, The Haunted are back! On their tenth studio album, ‘Songs of Last Resort’, the Swedish legends set out to reclaim the modern thrash throne and deliver their most intense and vital music to date. It is out on May 30th, 2025, via Century Media.

Somehow, the five-piece (Marco Aro – lead vocals / Jensen – rhythm guitar / Ola Englund – rhythm & lead guitar / Jonas Björler – bass, backing vocals / Adrian Erlandsson – drums) have turned the clock backwards, but also found new and exciting ways to express themselves. Choosing to look at the ever-encroaching darkness that surrounds this world, exploring the terrifying reality of worldwide destruction through war. It’s not a happy subject to focus on, and The Haunted approach it with all the fire and fury of a band hellbent on causing some destruction themselves.
