The Haunted - "No Ghost" Live at Wacken Open Air + 1st Ever Chinese Takeover!

Swedish Metal icons The Haunted, have been busy promoting their latest album titled "Unseen" (available now via Century Media). The bands seventh studio album hit the charts at #5 in Sweden as well as #26 in Finland upon release.

After an Australian tour and a busy Summer schedule which saw the band appear at major European open air festival events like Sweden Rock (Sweden), Hellfest (France), Wacken (Germany) and Summer Breeze (Germany), The Haunted recently announced a series of tour-dates that will take place in Sweden. The tour will feature fellow countrymen Entombed as part of the 2011 edition of the "Close-Up Made Us Do It" tour. The band has also announced a couple of headlining shows in Greece, as well as a (re-scheduled) tour of Japan together with Norwegian acts Ihsahn and Leprous. Additionally, The Haunted will be performing three shows in China (in collaboration with XOUNDFORCE) for the first time ever! All tour-dates can be seen below.

Today, The Haunted is happy to launch the first promotional video clip for the "Unseen" album. The song "No Ghost" (in a special live rendition from Wacken Open Air festival 2011) can be right here.



This intense live version of "No Ghost" was filmed by Marcel Schleiff (Record Film) and edited by The Haunted's lead guitarist Anders Björler (At The Gates Production). The live sound recording was engineered by Jacky Lehmann (Audiosound Lehmann) and then mixed by the band's long-term producer Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio in Denmark.

"A little update from The Haunted camp: We are proud to share the following live video for 'No Ghost' which was filmed this summer at 'Wacken Open Air'. The Wacken crew did a great job filming and Tue Madsen did exceptional work mixing this time around.

We are currently preparing for some club shows in Greece, in Sweden with Entombed, as well as a tour of Japan & China. China will be a first for us and we are very excited about this. We are also looking at some more touring next year, but more info about that soon. 'Til then, keep checking our website & facebook for updates and news."
