THE HAUNTED
2000 - Made Me Do It.
way more Helter Skelter.

October 31, 2000 - 2025: 25 years of: Made Me Do It.

A glorious meeting at the gates.

At deathmetal's cross-road, this Gothenburg band shall not be melodic. Following their killer 1998 self-titled debut-CD ...THE HAUNTED now gives commands.

Modern violence bleeds out with "Dark Intentions" and "Bury Your Dead". Upbeat and front-line, the new mosh is imminent. From this "Hollow Ground" and endless fires as "The World Burns". Surrounded by "Leech", the rotted "Human Debris" soils the scene, with in your face thrashy death-core menacing mosh. A full hardcore brawl ...not from the Bronx.

During this wicked new millennium, the era was serviced by explosive new shades of extreme metal. A fine mix of non-traditional deathmetal with a street-attitude ...hand delivered by THE HAUNTED.

The game would catch-up with aggressive Euro deathrash, yet the band would keep their lead intact, as proven with 2003's One Kill Wonder CD.
