Swedish metalcore band The Haunted premiered a new music video, “Brute Force”, this week on Youtube. “Brute Force” comes off their upcoming record which you absolutely should not buy if you have an IQ over 100, Strength in Numbers, which comes out August 25th on Century Media. This song sucks and sounds like a melodic hardcore band trying to play 1980s speed metal and failing miserably.

that’s essentially a run-of-the-mill (British) boy group using metal style distortion and (rhythm guitar) breakdowns as accompaniment for the singalong pop. I don’t particularly like the Haunted track, either — too much ear candy, too little substance — but the guitar plays a different and much more prominent part there.
Party rock.
