CD Details
Synopsis
Album Description Recently unearthed limited edition pressing of the Swedish Metal band's third album, originally released in 2002, comes in a sturdy clam box containing six art cards. The Haunted features former members of the seminal At The Gates. Relentlessly brutal and fast without sacrificing melody, the band's sound combines Death and Thrash Metal with concise songwriting and the commercial accessibility of bands such as Metallica. One Kill Wonder was the follow-up to their 2000 release The Haunted Made Me Do It, which is considered a modern Metal classic. Earache. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThey're Called "The Haunted" for a Reason Deathz Head | 12/03/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "And the reason has to do with the band being haunted by bad vocals on this album (though some scientists theorize they're called this because the band decided to pick a stupid name for themselves.)
Nonetheless, this is stellar musicianship. The guitars are beautiful, fast, stimulating. The drums are fast, interesting and with newly added complexity over their previous work. Unfortunately, the vocals on this suck, as this guy just doesn't compare to Peter Dovling. Heck, he's not even in the right genre. He's doing death metal vocal work for a band whose sound should be hardcore. If I wanted death metal, I'd throw in Cryptopsy. If you can get an audio filter to ignore this vocalist's unwarranted death grunts, then this album is worth it. Otherwise, you'll have to put up with it if you want to listen to the awesome instrumental work." |
