Swedish deadly thrash metal pioneers and purveyors The Haunted continue to promote their upcoming, 10th studio album entitled “Songs of Last Resort”, to be released worldwide on May 30th, 2025 via longtime partners Century Media Records.
Today, a new relentless single is being released with the track “In Fire Reborn”, which you can also check out in a video clip directed by Patric Ullaeus / www.rEvolver.se (In Flames, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, etc.).
The Haunted vocalist Marco Aro comments about “In Fire Reborn” as follows:
“This is the second single off the album “Songs of Last Resort”. The song is called “In Fire Reborn” and it’s a more classic The Haunted sounding song with the aggression turned up to 11…just in case you missed the memo on our previous single!”.
The Haunted guitarist Jensen added:
“A classic The Haunted 6/8 beat song. I wrote the start, verses and ending of the song, but it wasn’t until Jonas wrote the chorus when “In Fire Reborn” really bloomed out. I believe this could also easily become a fan favorite, just like it has become one of the band’s favorite songs on the album. The lyrics are, just like with ‘Warhead’, also along the topic of war, but this time from a soldier’s perspective…”.
With music recorded by Oscar Nilsson at Studio Bohus, main vocals recorded by Björn Strid at The Cellar Studio, “Songs of Last Resort” was then mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Kreator, Arch Enemy, Sepultura, etc). Artwork was once again provided by longtime visual collaborator Andreas “Diaz” Pettersson and here is the complete standard track-listing of the upcoming album.
