Artist Biography
Available in:
The Halo Effect is a Swedish heavy metal band formed by former members of In Flames. They are signed to the Nuclear Blast label.
The Halo Effect was founded by five friends whose previous careers had intersected at different times in the band In Flames. Jesper Strömblad was a founding member of In Flames in 1990, and in 1993 Mikael Stanne (who founded the band Dark Tranquility and remains its sole founding member today) worked as a session vocalist on In Flames' demo tape and debut album. Niclas Engelin and Peter Iwers joined In Flames in 1997, and Daniel Svensson joined In Flames in 1998 after Niclas Engelin quit. Subsequently, Strömblad, Iwers, and Svensson played together in In Flames for over 20 years by the time Strömblad quit that band in 2010.
The Halo Effect coalesced in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and according to press releases, the motivating idea behind the band was to return to the roots of the 1990s "Gothenburg sound" that pioneered the melodic death metal genre. According to an interview on Robb Flynn's No F'n Regrets podcast, the band's name comes from the song off Rush's album Clockwork Angels.
The band released their debut single, "Shadowminds" on 9 November 2021 ahead of a their debut album, Days of the Lost, released on 12 August, 2022. To support the album, the band will be touring Europe and the UK throughout September and October.[
