The Halo Effect is now streaming their super melodic new single "Cruel Perception" that really, truly feels like an old-school In Flames track. Which makes sense I guess, considering The Halo Effect is four-fifths of In Flames old-school lineup. The accompanying video takes fans on an immersive journey through the streets of their hometown of Gothenburg, for that extra Scandinavian flavor.
"'Cruel Perception' is packed with guitar harmonies and melodies that sprung from my noodling on the acoustic guitar in the living room one late night with a coffee in hand, which turned out to be a true Melodic Death Metal anthem," said The Halo Effect guitarist main songwriter Niclas Engelin.
"It's funny how some songs turn out in the end from late night acoustic guitar noodling to full on Melodic Death Metal, but that's the beauty with Halo, you never know how it's going to sound in the end with everybody's magic in the studio. We hope you will enjoy this song as much as we do and we just can't wait to play this song live for you all! "
The Halo Effect will release their new record March Of The Unheard on January 10. Pre-orders are available here.
