The Haunted guitarist and drummer quit
17 Oct 2012
Guitarist Anders Björler and drummer Per Møller Jensen have left The Haunted. Per says in a statement: "This decision has been underway for a long time and cannot be attributed to [former The Haunted frontman Peter] Dolving's departure earlier this year. "It's been a good 13-year stint. All in all, I have no regrets. "My penchant for music, creating — as in digging deep — and practicing has never been at a higher peak than now. When you throw musical differences between members in with that, I started feeling unfulfilled. This is not pointing fingers at anybody, but rather just seeing, accepting and acting on that fact. |
