THE HAUNTED's Marco Aro (vocals) comments: "Ok my friends, so here we are again...at the threshold of a new THE HAUNTED release. It maybe doesn't sound very exiting to some...but...it is!!! This time around we've found our way back to where we once started! You could say that we've gathered the old crew, both in music and the artwork. Our old friend Andreas 'Diaz ' Pettersson is back, an amazing artist with a rap sheet which includes the artwork on no less than four THE HAUNTED albums. He always finds a way to put our thoughts into print where he sometimes even scares us a bit...and this release in no different. We decided on 'Exit Wounds' as being a good title for the album given the recent history of the band, but also a sort of a phoenix rising. FUCKING JÄVLA FÅGEL FENIX....WE ARE BACK!!! We are so excited about this little thing we've created! Can't wait to get out there and start playing these songs and for me personally, I could not be more proud of what we have done, I really hope you're going to enjoy it!"

As previously reported, Exit Wounds sees THE HAUNTED return with their revamped band line-up, featuring founding members Jonas Björler (bass) and Jensen (guitars) teaming up with former members Adrian Erlandsson (drums) and Marco Aro (vocals), together with newest member Ola Englund (guitars). A first preview of new material was made public in January 2014 with the release of the 3-track single Eye Of The Storm, which can be purchased at CM Distro as a 7" or at iTunes as a digital copy.
