About rEVOLVEr [Bonus Tracks]

Revolver (stylized as rEVOLVEr) is the fourth studio album by the Haunted. It was released on 18 October 2004. After having been absent for the previous two studio albums, Peter Dolving was once again back in the band and provided the vocals for rEVOLVEr. He would remain with the band until he left once again in 2012. As the title on the album indicates with its stylized typography (i.e. with the word "EVOLVE" printed in upper case letters between the two lower case r's), the band made a conscious decision to tweak (or "evolve") its songwriting on this album. As a result, rEVOLVEr contains some elements that were absent on previous The Haunted albums. Although the album still contains examples of the band's familiar thrash metal sound (e.g. "No Compromise", "Sabotage", "Sweet Relief"), it features considerably more mid-paced riffing (e.g. "99", "Burnt to a Shell", "Fire Alive") than in any of their previous albums. Two of the tracks even have ballad elements interspersed in them ("Abysmal" and "My Shadow"). more »
