Ex-The Haunted frontman Peter Dolving, who left the band more than a decade ago, says that he has “persistently tried” to make peace with his former bandmates without much success.
The 52-year-old singer, who is currently the CEO of Svenska Verde AB, a Swedish med-tech company specializing in cannabinoid API, reflected on his exit from the group in a brand new interview with Pierre Gutiérrez of Rock Talks.
Asked if he is still in contact with any of the members of The Haunted, Peter said:
I will give you a sad and honest straight answer: I have persistently tried, and I even met some of them on the street. I have had a sympathetic few meetings with Per [Möller Jensen, drums] — everything all good, all love. With the other guys, they’ve done something… They’ve done nothing; that’s a better word for it. They’ve gone completely dark and silent, and I think it’s kind of sad and childish, but everyone has to deal with their emotions around something their way and everyone’s perspectives are going to be different.
I’m very expressive and super sensitive and emotive, and I discuss abstracts on very many levels, I’ve studied philosophy, psychology, psychiatry. I come off as loopy — I know that, and I try to avoid that. But I’m a bit much, I think, for [some people]. And there’s nothing wrong with that. We’re different. We’re just human beings. We really are different.”Ex-The Haunted singer Peter Dolving
