The rising stars of Gothenburg, THE HALO EFFECTare back with a powerful new announcement: their long-awaited second album, «March Of The Unheard«, will go on sale on January 10 through Nuclear Blast Records.
After the massive success of their debut «Days Of The Lost«, «March Of The Unheard» offers a triumphant continuation of the band’s signature sound. Packed with melodies and electrifying energy, the new album promises to exceed fans’ expectations.
The first single from the album, «Detonate«, is an optimistic anthem that combines melodic hooks with relentless energy. Accompanied by an exciting music video, «Detonate» lays the foundations for what promises to be another historic launch, with a strong message in favor of those who are not heard:
“Break the chains of this dead end, before we detonate!”
The guitar wizard and main composer Niclas Engelin comments:
«Damn, time flies fast when you’re having so much fun touring, playing festivals and creating new magic. Are we already on album number 2? We are still with the energy of ‘Days Of The Lost‘, and it was amazing!
And continues:
«We can’t wait for you all to hear our new magic, and I think you’ll like what you’re about to hear! ‘Detonate’, our first single from our new album ‘March Of The Unheard‘, is an optimistic and straight-to-your-face song with all the melodies you can’t miss! Obey the Riff.
