Biography

There is more than one artist that goes by this name.

1) The Haunted is a Swedish heavy metal band, formed in 1996 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The original members were Patrik Jensen (also member of Witchery) (guitar), Jonas Björler (bass), Adrian Erlandsson (drums), Anders Björler (guitar), and Peter Dolving (vocals). Both of the Björler brothers and Erlandsson were members of seminal melodic death metal band At the Gates, a pioneering force in the Swedish death metal scene. All members (past and present) are from Gothenburg, Sweden, with the exception of Patrik Jensen, who is from Linköping, Sweden, Per Möller Jensen, who is from Denmark, and Marco Aro, who is from Finland.

The band released their first album, while signed to Earache Records, the selftitled debut The Haunted, in 1998. Before this, they had also made their demo, called Demo ‘97, in 1997. The album resulted in The Haunted being praised as Newcomer of the Year by several magazines, and the album being called Album of the Year by Terrorizer Magazine. The Haunted made a respectable live reputation staging the Swedish metal scene, as well the international scene, touring the UK with Napalm Death.

After the release of this album, Peter Dolving and Adrian Erlandsson both left the band in 1999, the latter joining Cradle of Filth.

Marco Aro was recruited as a new vocalist and Per Möller Jensen as drummer.

    They should have called it quits before that horrible Unseen album. The Dead Eye and Versus were pretty lackluster as well. Everything prior is excellent.

    Yep, that's it for me. I'll re-listen to what they did, plenty of good material and I'll follow Dolvigs latest stuff as well.

    Looks like everybody is leaving this band, whoever is left may as well turn the lights out and call it a day.

    kick the bjorlers out, let them continue with At The Gates full time and bring back Dolving to The Haunted so we can enjoy both bands and dont need to hear about any of those problems...

    I wouldn't mind if they brought Aro back because he did a good job, but Dolving was the best. Assuming he's telling the truth it's sad to hear about the personal relationships of the band.
