Why dolving left the haunted

[kaomao]

Guys, it's pretty sad things like this happens among the pros.
I have seen the same shit happening among people I know personally!
it sucks, money and drugs suck so much!!!!
Reading this made think that was on the "roadkill" dvd was really a sad band, even co headline band of that tour thought the same (All that remains, I think it was)
Money are important, you can't live without them, but not to the point you gotta stab your friends in the back.
I'd like to read the björler's response to this.

I think this tirade has the exact opposite effect on me than the one he intended.

Dolving has always been bitter as hell. Since his Myspace era rants its always been hard to tell if he was just being honest or just a prick.

TL;DR

The guy is a nobody, he's a generic singer for a dull band living off the members former band.

Now now... Dolving is a great vocalist, and the stuff The Haunted have been doing the last couple of years has been amazing. I LOVE Unseen. It sucks that they had such problems, and it sucks that Dolving left, but that's their business and not mine. I'm just bummed out that they won't be making another album together, I don't really care why they broke up.

We've had to boot out a vocalist because of drug and personal issues. Really hard thing to do, especially when you hang out with them almost every day for like 2 years and they made so much progress in that time. Dude smokes crack and "borrows" his fathers truck without permission, thus resulting in our jam pad being shut down (it was on his parents property), then tries to blame us and our "traffic" (a few random friends once in a while) for why we got shut down. Then, after I give him an ultimatum and say straight up "If you dont come to practice tonight, you're kicked out. Got a free ride, dont have to give me gas $, etc", and he chose to stay home and smoke crack. This was over a year ago, and he still bugs me to get back in the band. It's a shame since we've had like 10 vocalists come tryout since, and none of which equal or top him. =/

Sorry, didn't mean to sway off topic. Was never really into The Haunted but that is a sad thing to happen. Though a lot of that stuff could have been completely left off Facebook, IMO.

Sad story. Would be interesting to hear other sides of this story though.

I think Dolving is an amazing singer, and i love The Haunted as much as At The Gates, if not more.

the Haunted's eponymous debut is one of my absolute favourite thrash albums of all time.

Their career was littered with the other occasional gem here and there, but nearly 15 years after I bought it is still that first record that blows me away.

I was quite disheartened to read it... on one hand At the gates got back together... on the other hand it makes it clear a reunion and more albums like rEVOLVEr won't happen, which is my favourite album by The Haunted, really great album...

I never caught the last album, the one or two songs I found on youtube put me off it... but rEVOLVEr, Made me do it and Versus were great albums...

 

[FarBeyondMetal]

The one thing that really struck me about that little piece was that Per Moller Jensen was homeless for the last 6 months Pete was in the band, and that he hasn't heard from him.

Hope he's okay.

I totally missed that bit... fuck thats heavy....!!

Is his name Phil?

 

[kaomao]

they always put out great albums, because they were honest! never followed a goddamn fucking stupid trend!
I just love the sense of melody they had, the dead eye is a good example that aggression and melody can go side by side and sound great

He's an asshole, plain and simple.
