The Haunted deliver a surprising but effective change of pace from Thrash to Alt Metal, which catches the listener off guard.
Opening track ‘Never Better’ opens in typical Haunted fair and only an subtly extra melodic chorus giving a clue, its only when the humongous southern riff of ‘No Ghost’ opens that it all becomes apparent (track of the year by the way).
Alas they don’t carry on with the Southern vibe but with an almost Deftones vibe which is no bad thing but possible a missed trick.
