With work underway for a new studio album release in 2017, Swedish thrash metallers The Haunted have extended their long-standing co-operation with Century Media Records by signing a new worldwide deal with the label. Additionally, several new tour dates with Meshuggah in the UK and Ireland in January as well as with label-mates Arch Enemy and Lacuna Coil in Central Europe in March/April have been announced.

The Haunted checked in with the following comment: “We are very pleased to announce that The Haunted has re-signed with CMR, expecting a new album in 2017. Right now we're in pre-production mode and the material we have now sounds really heavy and thrashing."
