THE HAUNTED Unleashes "Warhead" – A Relentless Assault from Songs of Last Resort

Swedish thrash and melodic death metal veterans The Haunted have returned with a blistering new track, "Warhead," taken from their upcoming album Songs of Last Resort , set for release on May 30th, 2025 . The official video, masterfully crafted by Patric Ullaeus ( www.revolver.se ), perfectly complements the track's unrelenting intensity and dystopian themes.

A Crushing Testament to War and Despair

With Marco Aro’s ferocious vocals at the helm, "Warhead" paints a bleak picture of perpetual warfare, where human lives are reduced to nothing more than fuel for the machine. The song’s lyrics dissect the cyclical nature of conflict, from primitive hand-to-hand combat to the soulless precision of modern warfare. Lines like:

"From a stone weighed in a primal hand
To a carpet of bombs, the warhead shall remain"

illustrate the chilling evolution of violence, hammering home the idea that war is an eternal, unshakable force in human history.

The Haunted’s Signature Sonic Warfare

Musically, "Warhead" is a relentless barrage of razor-sharp riffs, pummeling drums, and a seething vocal attack. Jensen and Ola Englund’s guitar work is as lethal as ever, with tight rhythms and scorching leads, while Jonas Björler’s bass and Adrian Erlandsson’s drumming form a war machine of groove and aggression. The track strikes a perfect balance between the band's thrash-influenced roots and their modern, groove-laden approach.

Visuals That Capture the Chaos

The video, directed by Patric Ullaeus , encapsulates the track’s themes of destruction, despair, and militaristic madness. Scenes of war-torn landscapes, oppressive authority figures, and relentless carnage mirror the song’s intensity, making for a visually gripping experience that amplifies the message of impending doom.

Songs of Last Resort – An Album Worth the Hype

With "Warhead" as the opening salvo, Songs of Last Resort is shaping up to be one of The Haunted’s most powerful releases to date. The band, known for their ability to fuse thrash, death metal, and groove elements seamlessly, appears to be delivering a politically charged and sonically devastating experience.
