The Haunted To Release Three New Tracks!
Swedish metal band The Haunted have announced that they will be releasing a new three-track single entitled Eye Of The Storm on January 21st in N. America (January 20th in Europe). The single will be available as limited edition 7” EP (1000 copies split as follows: 500x on black vinyl, 300 on red vinyl and 200x on white vinyl) and as digital single. It will feature the new tracks “Eye Of The Storm”, “Infiltrator”, and “My Enemy”. Pre-orders for the digital version are available through iTunes Germany.
This is the first announcement of new music since the band went through radical line up changes. Singer Peter Dolving quit under harsh circumstances. Guitarist Anders Björler also left and focused on a solo project entitled Antikythera. Lastly, drummer Per Möller Jensen left and is working on a new project. They have since been replaced by guitarist Ola Englund, drummer Adrian Erlandsson, and vocalist Marco Aro. The only remaining original members are guitarist Patrik Jensen and bassist Jonas Björler.
We’ll keep you updated as we hear more about the tracks!
AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.
The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.
Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24.
Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
