Anders is probably the least recognized musician from the mid 90's to today. He wrote riffs that a generation of new genres recycled and the man is never even mentioned in interviews. One of the best metal guitarists of the past 20 years.
Truly a masterpice-album. Really underrated, both in the metal/musicworld in general and in the Haunted catalouge. Its as they try to point out in doc about the recordings: its really natural and organic sounding, yet very heavy and dark.
It relates to the story of the album, which follows an unnamed character in a psychiatric hospital. Each song is a kind of «personification» of state of being of the character. The slower songs often show the resignation of the character while the heavier ones represent his anger and fury. The character is often described as almost «crazy» in the booklet of the album, where there are for each song a description of the state of being by the doctors. This must be what the video represent
Is that really true? I never had the booklet of the album, but I always loved this album to death. I think it is in the overall top50 best albums ever written and recorded. The lyrics are just from another dimension. But I never though the album is an actual concept album.
These guys are doing something to me; i listened to Trenches about 2 weeks ago and thought "yea that's pretty cool" and now i find myself randomly wanting to listen to them all the time! aaaahhhhhh!
I remember these guys opening for Static-X during the snocore tour in 09' and I got to meet them, burn halo, and all of Static-X and got posters signed and my tickets. Absolutely amazing night. I just found the massive poster with everyone's signature on it today in storage 😊
this is one of the best metal albums to come out, these guys actually know how to play their instruments and write powerful lyrics. most metal bands are screaming like girls about aborted fetuses
Lyrics 😊 Will you ever look past your self-sufficient illusions? The structure's true, foundations rest within you The price we pay for sheer indifference Surrender yourself, your discount spare parts You give up your rights For your limitations And abandon all hope One step further down the line As the flood begins to rise You're on your knees, faking ambition Now close your eyes and bleed I know there are things from the past That should never be brought back The ghosts of stale ideals and burning bridges In simplified inane depictions of a different world A lie to serve the fold and the forces in them As you give up your rights For your limitations And lay down your arms One step further down the line As the flood begins to rise You're on your knees, faking ambition Now close your eyes In the darkest corner of my mind I see a boy with a crooked smile With a crown made of tinsel And glass beads on a wire Singing a song out of time Now if you believe I'll bleed for you And if I could bleed, well, so could you Close your eyes and pretend it'll go away But you know that you've got nothing to lose
El primer disco fue el que más me moló. Deberian seguir buscando la velocidad en sus letras... como cuando decían 500 palabras por segundo... yo me echaba las manos a la cabeza!! Me recordaron mucho a los Slayer de antaño. Una pena, xq es un grupo que tiene el potencial.
this band was awsome last night, saw them with ATR. Imense gig, all that remains are one of the best live bands i've seen. Nice surprise with teh haunted too, had never heard of them before.
This is one of my favorite songs from The Haunted. It's the one that introduced me to them. This whole album is awesome. Sadly, every single other album by them pales in comparison with this one.
I fucking loved rEVOLVEr. But for some reason I love The Dead Eye even more. I mean seriously how many times in life do bands make two really great records in a row.
@BaronDuff i know what you mean, i haven't listened to them for about a year then about a week ago i though its been a while ill stick the dead eye on my mp3 player, now i cant get their songs out of my head
Such a crazy good song & video! The opening riffs are so tight and the drumming is spectacular! Patrick Jensen looks like a giant beside the mad scientist! Is he that huge?
Intelligent music rarely, if ever, fits into such a narrow classification. I've never understood, literally, how someone could like one thing and not another simply because it's "different" (and usually by a very, VERY small margin) than what they listen to, usually only because it's "cool" in their little clique and not because they've gathered some special appreciation for it through thoughtful consideration or genuine interest.
anyone have anything to comment on the music? what about your part time job? no one cares. best song on the album right here, given that this is the haunted's equivalent to "load"... and it still mananges to kick ass.
In Germany they did the Chuck Norris thing with a Footballer. Try it with Peter Dolving: "Peter Dolving doesnt eat honey, he chews on bees" yes that Kinda fits- awesome band!
thats the best fucking riff a guitar has EVER seen! so much groove and so much feeling! it would be great if the most metalguitarists would concentrate on such riffs, not on pulling up their speedskills.
not even close, neither Jesse Leach or Howard Jones sound anything like this...they sound exactly like THE HAUNTED end of story, if anything compare them to In Flames because there both from Gothenberg Sweden and play Melodic Death Metal

totally agree with you! it's a matter of time, he will be recognized as one of the most brilliant and skilled compositor and guitar players....
His solo album is also pretty good. Very different
Omair Sheikh i agree it fascinates me!
Patrik Jensen dude....Patrik...most silent, underated riff writer and player on the planet. Thus why the Haunted still live today!
People call it At The Gates style instead of calling it by his name.
Dolving will be greatly missed, his lyrics are golden.
His vocal delivery too!
This riff is so tight I can’t stop listening

Top 5 album of all time for me. And that's saying a lot
I feel this mans words. I willows him as their vocalist, but they remain strong still. This band is fucking amazing. Everything they've ever done
Man, how can a band be so good yet so underrated. It's mental
This album means so much to me!
absolutely
no doubt!!!!

Yeah... That is likely to happen if you listen to these talented F%$%%£$!
F%$£%£$ $£"$hot band!
So much feeling in dolvings vocal on this track.

This song is a constant display of f-ing cool riffs! Hooray for The Haunted!
I always love the slight tongue-in-cheek The Haunted fit into some of their videos.
Melodic poetry, such a lovely song. Violent and though so true.
Lyrics 😊
Will you ever look past your self-sufficient illusions?
The structure's true, foundations rest within you
The price we pay for sheer indifference
Surrender yourself, your discount spare parts
You give up your rights
For your limitations
And abandon all hope
One step further down the line
As the flood begins to rise
You're on your knees, faking ambition
Now close your eyes and bleed
I know there are things from the past
That should never be brought back
The ghosts of stale ideals and burning bridges
In simplified inane depictions of a different world
A lie to serve the fold and the forces in them
As you give up your rights
For your limitations
And lay down your arms
One step further down the line
As the flood begins to rise
You're on your knees, faking ambition
Now close your eyes
In the darkest corner of my mind
I see a boy with a crooked smile
With a crown made of tinsel
And glass beads on a wire
Singing a song out of time
Now if you believe I'll bleed for you
And if I could bleed, well, so could you
Close your eyes and pretend it'll go away
But you know that you've got nothing to lose
2022 .... still amazing saw them live 15 yrs ago.... still remebering that awesome moment .... damn ! so many memories
So amazing! I love The Haunted. Rock on metal heads!
What a masterpiece!
Love the song.
Awesome lyrics.
Mi ricordo di aver ascoltato questo disco appena uscito, a fine 2006.a distanza di 15 anni ancora spacca.
The singer lived 20m from me and my friend was living above him! :D He got a special record from him! He was awesome!
God damn, The Haunted is so sick.
known about them for so long but I love how they are still around and still making new fans, fuckin' love The Haunted.
you kidding? I love the vocals.

Saw them yesterday, they were amazing!
This is one of my favorite songs from The Haunted. It's the one that introduced me to them. This whole album is awesome. Sadly, every single other album by them pales in comparison with this one.
cough Revolver cough (and basically everything except for Unseen, Versus and Strength in Numbers which were just good)
I fucking loved rEVOLVEr. But for some reason I love The Dead Eye even more. I mean seriously how many times in life do bands make two really great records in a row.
Auld comment but am the opposite; rEVOLVEr's such a classic. Dripping wi disgust.
The haunted is so sweet, i wish i could see them live sometime!!\m/
@BaronDuff i know what you mean, i haven't listened to them for about a year then about a week ago i though its been a while ill stick the dead eye on my mp3 player, now i cant get their songs out of my head
usually i don´t like this unmelodic deathmetal voices..but this one is hard at the edge and i love it...
Such a crazy good song & video! The opening riffs are so tight and the drumming is spectacular! Patrick Jensen looks like a giant beside the mad scientist! Is he that huge?
The lead singer sings with so much anger.
The vocals are great! Yh but a great song
great song
Awesome video ! Sweden owns musicaly!
haha look at the scenery at the beginning....x-rays,a mad doctor all the spooky shit AND...a Pikachu clock!? :P OMG! xD
Great song!Powerful band!!
Masterpiece!
the haunted are so underated

Holy fuck, was I this pretentious 13 years ago? :/

Just might be the best metal band ever
Cant say the Bjorler Brothers have ever disapointed me, The Haunted is good, and ATG is like the best MDM band ever.

This album its the best,Dead eye is a pure divibity^^

i dont understand thoose who complain about this album for me it is another of thehaunteds masterpice, fucking epic album :D
PIKACHU!!!
the haunted are sick!!! i luv them
I've never listened to their new albums, but this definitely sounds like it has a sort of pop-ish element to it, compared to the older albums...
Hah. You should see them live. Their singer looks insane.
Badass Jam! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
There's no such thing as the Devil. Tell them this music gives you the empowerment to be your own god and follow your own path.
anyone have anything to comment on the music? what about your part time job? no one cares. best song on the album right here, given that this is the haunted's equivalent to "load"... and it still mananges to kick ass.
I miss At the Gates but this is close enough to make me angry-happy.
geil man the haunted =) fetzt voll richtig rein
Dolving is the ONLY voice of The Haunted.
Swedish Riff of the Day!

That mad scientist is spectacularly good.
