Swedish thrashers THE HAUNTED will release their ninth studio album, “Strength In Numbers”, on August 25 via Century Media. The disc was recorded at Parlour Studios in the U.K. with producer Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR, THE EXPLOITED).

The official video for the album’s first single, “Brute Force”, can be seen below. The clip was produced by Oscar Dziedziela of OD Visual.

THE HAUNTED stated about the track: “We’re very excited to finally be able to air our first single from the new album, ‘Strength In Numbers’, and let it set the tone for the brutality of the album. ‘Brute Force’ is one of those songs written in the early stage of making the album and shows our hunger to make new music, uncompromising, unforgiving and just to the point.”

The artwork for “Strength In Numbers” was once again created by THE HAUNTED‘s longtime designer Andreas Pettersson.
