Patrik Jensen From THE HAUNTED Confirms That Clicktracks Are For Wimps, Explains Their 8-Year Absence And Why Their New Album Might Be Their Best Since 2003

This week, I’m joined by Patrik Jensen of The Haunted and Witchery to dive into “Songs of Last Resort”, arguably the band’s strongest release since 2003’s "One Kill Wonder". We explore Patrik’s early days with Seance, the origins of The Haunted, his take on the current metal scene, the music industry’s challenges, and much more.

In the weekly news rant, I round up new singles from Blackbraid, Hexvessel, Deathgoat, Lord Belial, and Unleashed for judgment. I also tackle your questions, sharing my top death doom albums, confessing my controversial movie opinions, and revealing my dream list of albums begging for a remaster. PLUS: why I’m betting on a new Emperor album and why Metallica’s support acts for their 2026 European tour are a massive letdown.
