THE HALO EFFECT shares video for single 'March Of The Unheard'
30-10-2024
THE HALO EFFECT, the project featuring five former members of the Swedish metal band IN FLAMES — Jesper Strömblad (guitar), Daniel Svensson (drums), Peter Iwers (bass), Niclas Engelin (guitar) and Mikael Stanne (vocals) — will release its second album, “March Of The Unheard”, on January 10, 2025, via Nuclear Blast Records. The official music video for the second single from the album, the “March Of The Unheard” title track, is out now.
Watch “March Of The Unheard” below.
Engelin comments: “This song is based around the melody theme for the intro on all our ninety-six shows. I just got the idea of starting the whole album with this theme and building a full song around it. Mikael took the whole song to another level with his lyrics, which enlighten the need for our society to hear the voices of the unheard — the powerless.”
He continues: “We are all suckers for melancholic melodies in an uptempo beat, and add some harmonies to that and we get a beautiful HALO song. Working with the mighty Gothenburg marching band ‘Göta Lejon‘ just blew our minds both in the studio and live… Damn, they are powerful!”
