The Haunted have signed a new worldwide deal with Century Media, continuing the bands ongoing partnership. Band frontman Peter Dolving has the following to say on the matter:
“So once again we’ve decided to sign with Century Media Records. It feels good to get continuation, and truly having worked hard on communication on both ends over these last years, has brought us together in ways that I believe a lot of bands/managements/labels only dream of.
Long term goals, open agendas, and a Norse/German stubborn attitude seem so be something we find a mutual trust and strength in and we’re really looking forward to a continued cooperation with our friends/partners at Century Media.
It is a strange thing this, the business of music, but like everything else, it seems to come down to hard work, earnestness, straight talk and respect. So here’s to many more years of churning out metal to the masses. Peace!”
