THE HAUNTED To Release 2xCD Set

From the inbox:

Celebrated Swedish heavyweights THE HAUNTED have announced details of new double disc compilation that details the bands time with EARACHE RECORDS, from 1998 – 2003.

Titled Warning Shots, the album contains 28 of THE HAUNTED’s most killer tracks, including a second disc with many rare and unreleased songs. The booklet contains an extensive interview with bass player Jonas Bjorler, conducted with respected UK rock critic Dominic Lawson, examining the early years of the band and reflecting on the material included on the compilation.

The full tracklist for Warning Shots is as follows:

Disc 1 – containing tracks from the three albums THE HAUNTED, THE HAUNTED MADE ME DO IT and ONE KILL WONDER:

Trivia fans will note that the final 3 tracks on Disc 2 were recorded in pre-THE HAUNTED times, before the band had settled on a final band name. The tracks come from a rehearsal tape made at a time when the band were considering the name DEATH & 1/2 PROD. Warning Shots will be released in Europe on March 9, with a US release on April 7.

- I pretty much like all of THE HAUNTED’s discography, but One Kill Wonder simply phenomenal. The second disc to this set should be a lot of fun.
