The Halo Effect have announced their debut album, ‘Days Of The Lost’ due the 12th of August via Nuclear Blast. Along with the news the band have shared the third single and video for the album’s title track ‘Days Of The Lost’.
Frontman Mikael Stanne explains about the song:
“Days Of The Lost” is about finding your place in life, about making that outcast experience into something that propels you forward. We all met in our mid teens and we were all trying to find direction, motivation and meaning. Thankfully we found it in creativity and music and we shared this passion and made something from it that remains an essential part of who we are as individuals and as parts of a whole. So this is us reflecting on our past, while watching a new generation slowly but surely find their path. It’s about standing up, being your true self and about not letting anything stand in your way. Our choices and our paths have led to all kinds of things but we wouldn’t change a thing.”
Stadium sized melodic metal with Stanne’s perfectly gruff vocals that are just on the right side of understandable yet still sound menacing enough to match the ferocity of the music. The whole track has an infectious driven energy that impresses from the first spin. Three songs in and the band just keep getting better.
