The Haunted lose singer

2012-02-29 by Voivod STAFF | 31 Comments
Peter Dolving, singer and main man for The Haunted, the Swedish metal outfit, has decided to part ways with the band.

Quoting from the brief statement that was uploaded in Dolving's personal Facebook account:

I am officially quitting The Haunted. After years of working with the band, I am out. I have had it. I will NOT answer questions to why. It’s no one else's business. Thank you very much. I am looking forward to seeing you people at other shows with other projects.

Big whoopie-doo! Guy was a fucking ego-maniac but has nothing to show for it.

He gave the band that maniac vibe that made them stand out. Oh well.

Not quite.

The driving force behind The Haunted are the Bjorler brothers.

People can say he was a bad singer and an egotistical tool if they want but personally I think he gave The Haunted almost the only unique thing about them that was worth listening to them for.

He was also, when I met him, one of the most genuine people I think I've ever met in music. He was just a great guy.

Hopefully he'll go on to do some great stuff outside of The Haunted now.

S/T and The Dead Eye are the only albums by this band worth listening to.

Probably, but he went over the edge on the last album.

I mean there wasn't a single sec in all songs where he didn't sing.

The Haunted Made Me Do it is an excellent record too. And I dug The Haunted records up to Versus, but my guess is that Dolving wanted to go even further into the realm of Unseen, and the band didn't want to take it any further and he got fed up with it.

I liked the Haunted besides the past few CD's. It did seem like the guy was a bit of a dick but regardless I still liked his vocals.

He liked a song by my old band and complimented my writing once. True story.

I met him after a show once. He seemed like a good dude. I never listen to them anymore. Jensen kicks ass, though.

this is great news he was a terrible vocalist. It would be cool if AtG made new material or Tomas joined The Haunted, because the Bjorler bros have some cool riffs not to pass up.
