With "Arcana" Edenbridge have the follower to the very successful debut "Sunrise In Eden" on start, which will be available from 11th November on. Stilistically they followed the direction of the first album, nevertheless "Arcana" seems much more compact, which documents the development of the band around guitar player and songwriter Lanvall very impressingly. Again the uncomparable voice of frontwoman Sabine Edelsbacher fascinates the listener, as it gives every song an unbelievably intense atmosphere. With "Arcana" Edenbridge surely will not disappoint their fans, but will even gain a bigger fanbase – Bet on it!

Marko Tervonen (The Crown): "Mike Wead will not participate on The Haunted US tour, due to reasons beyond his and The Haunted's control. New replacement for the tour is our own guitar wiz Marcus Sunesson. You can check out the man on these dates and also experience a kick ass live show from da Haunted boyz! The Crown wishes Marcus all the best and would like to say that "don´t you dare come home bitchin´ about anthrax and shit..." ;-) The Crown will do the mixing of "Crowned In Terror" without Marcus in November. And maybe, just maybe, the solos will turn out a bit too low in the mix...
