'''Peter Dolving''' (born 24 October 1969) is a Swedish vocalist now living in [[Salvador, Bahia]], Brazil.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/peter.dolving/about|title=peter.dolving|work=facebook.com}}</ref> He is best known as the former frontman of the [[Heavy metal band|heavy metal]] band [[The Haunted (Swedish band)|The Haunted]].

== Career ==
Dolving began as a singer-songwriter playing in cafes in Sweden. He joined the band [[Mary Beats Jane]] and organized [[rave]]s to support himself. He then opened the highly successful rock club called "Underground" in the basement of the restaurant Kompaniet in [[Gothenburg]]. Mary Beats Jane released their first album in 1994 and toured through 1997. Dolving has said Mary Beats Jane will never re-form.<ref name="BringTheWarHome">{{cite web | url=http://squatneysteel.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/interview-peter-dolving/ | date=21 April 2010 | access-date=8 March 2025 | title=Interview with Muchmoremetal.com}}</ref>

Dolving then joined Swedish [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[The Haunted (Swedish band)|The Haunted]] in 1997 with former members of [[At The Gates]] (at the time they were experimenting with the name Death & 1/2 Prod.), supporting himself by drawing [[fetish art]] and working as a carpenter. He left The Haunted after the first album, then returned in 2004 on the album ''[[Revolver (The Haunted album)|rEVOLVEr]]''. He eventually formed The Peter Dolving Band to perform his own songs and wrote spoken-word material for the short film ''No Justice No Peace'' by Jonas Olsen. The Peter Dolving Band no longer exists, with that style of music taken up by his BringTheWarHome<ref name="BringTheWarHome" /> project. Dolving incited the wrath of some metal fans with his unique soul-searching and frequent ranting in the Blog section of his official MySpace page. A candid interview with him appears in the documentary Working Class Rock Star. In 2011 Dolving joined the Swedish hardcore band Rosvo.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/rosvoband|title=Rosvo|work=Facebook}}</ref>

Dolving has resumed work on musical project entitled "O" with [[Scott Reeder (bassist)|Scott Reeder]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/former-the-haunted-frontman-resumes-work-on-o-project/|title=Former ''The Haunted'' Frontman Resumes Work On O Project|date=23 March 2012|website=[[Blabbermouth.net]]}}</ref>
