The band's first release in 8 years comes guns blazing.
On May 30, Sweden's thrash titans The Haunted will release their highly anticipated new album, Songs of Last Resort, via Century Media, again adorned by the artistry of longtime collaborator Andreas “Diaz” Pettersson. As one could come to expect, the band's musicianship is merciless, and lead single, Warhead, breaks open this release cycle with a rip roaring listen that sets high stakes for the full-length to come.
Frontman Marco Aro comments on the track:
"This is the first single of our new album, 'Songs of Last Resort.' The song is called 'Warhead' and it’s an aggressive statement about the absolute horrors of the world we now have to live in!"
Guitarist Jensen adds:
“When writing this song, I knew that we were on to writing a good album. The main riff came to me at work, and I had to take the afternoon off that day to immediately get it recorded and worked on while the inspiration from this one riff was still creating goosebumps. Lyrics are about various people in charge being 'warheads,' thriving in one way or another off of waging war. The intro sound FX were created together with Örjan Örnkloo (ex-Misery Loves Company, who also performs on ‘To Bleed Out’ and the title track ‘Letters of Last Resort’). I think it’s not a stretch to say that this song stand a real chance of becoming a fixture of our live set for many years to come…”
