and working as a carpenter. He left The Haunted after the first album, then returned in 2004 on the 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 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. Dolving has resumed work on musical project entitled "O" with Scott Reeder.

Personal life

Dolving has in several interviews stated that he considers himself an anarchist.
