THE HAUNTED’s Adrian Erlandsson checked in with the following comment about the new track: “’Spark’ is the second video from our upcoming album “Strength In Numbers”. It’s a brooding and catchy number which shows a more melodic side of the album. One of those songs that will remain in our live set for years to come. Turn it up and watch it all burn!!!”
