70,000 Tons of Metal Adds The Haunted to Lineup

If you love metal, partying like an animal and you aren't a vampire then 70,000 Tons of Metal has to be the cruise of a lifetime and if you (yes, you reader!) happen to be going then I'm extremely jealous! Taking place January 27th - 30th, this cruise sets off from Miami across the Caribbean to Costa Maya, Mexico with 40 bands on board as well as other spectacular events taking place across the 5 days.

Bands on the bill include Carcass, Cynic, Dark Tranquillity, Death Angel, Death (To All), Fear Factory, Finntroll, Obituary, Orphaned Land (Note: I Love Them!) and Satyricon which in my opinion would already make this a holiday to never forget! However there are many many more amazing acts, one of which is Swedish metal act The Haunted. They have been through some changes line up wise and 70,000 Tons of Metal will mark their return to the stage. What a way to make a return!

Eye Of The Storm out 20th January in Europe, 21st in North America.

The Haunted are currently working on a new album, set to release in the summer and a taster of what's in store can be heard via their 3 track single Eye Of The Storm out January 20th via Century Media. You don't just have to get a digital copy as the single will be available on vinyl, although it is limited to 1000 copies. (500 black, 300 red and 200 white). 

Guitarist Jensen had the following to say on the new single and upcoming plans for the band:
“There aren't superlatives enough to describe how much the band has longed for these three songs to be released. We are sure fans have been anxious to know what the band sounds like today after all the turmoil and old members leaving and new members joining. We feel that these three songs represent the band perfectly. We are currently working on the new album, an album that will be filled to the brim with what we know to be "The Haunted". We'll start doing gigs this spring and we'll do festivals all over the place this summer. Get in touch with the festivals you visit (and behave like an animal at) and tell them to get us on the bill! The Haunted is back. Play it loud. No. Louder.”
