Title: The Haunted are back.........
Post by: Pagan Saviour on March 21, 2025, 02:00:09 PM
Holy fuck this is atrocious. Like something Exodus would put out with Dukes. Might even be AI. Who the fuck knows.

I liked these for a minute back in the day, first three albums hit the spot without doing anything new, must throw one on to see how I feel about it now.

The Dukes albums are grand.

Can't be bothered with this, they've been shite for a long, long time. I was only thinking about The Haunted Made Me Do It yesterday, haven't heard it in years, must dig it out. The last decent thing they did.

The Haunted were one of my favourite bands when I was 15 and I tried so hard to convince myself that I liked rEVOLVEr (see what they did there?!) to the extent that it did grow on me, and when they released the shite that was The Dead Eye, that was me.

That new track is inoffensive but totally pointless.

Kinda does, but at least Holt, Altus & Hunting would make it decent, this is boring as feck

Video for this might as well be an in-store ad for Englunds guitar company.

I liked "99" from whatever album that was on, but not really a band that did much. But this is a shambles.

I'd have no interest in em' now, truly awful that. Can't believe it's 24 years since they played with The Crown in the Rosetta Bar.

Loved the first 2 albums ,the 3rd was the last one I bought. Zero interest after that!.Again another one of those bands I go see live if they only played  early material.

The  gig with The Crown in Dorans moons ago is still one of my favourite gigs.

I was at that Dorans gig. I remember there being a big buzz around these lads back then but they never did anything for me at all.

I think it was the fact they were At the Gates members, like their music was nothing groundbreaking!.But I did really like those early albums.

First one or two albums were grand enough, solid if pretty unspectacular, but that's an absolute nothing song

That was probably the main reason I started to listen to them.

I really liked the first two at the time, but think the last time I listened to the first album I couldn't work out why I liked them.  Must stick them on again.

Have to be one of the dullest bands in existence, never saw the fuss tbh. Don't think they would have had half the attention if it wasn't for the At the Gates lads.

The Haunting made me not listen to the Haunting
