The rising stars of Swedish melodic death metal, THE HALO EFFECThave presented the official video clip for their new single, «March Of The Unheard«, the title song of their second album, which will go on sale on January 10. The visually stunning video lives up to the intensity of the song, mixing dark, atmospheric visuals with explosive shots of the performance, offering a cinematic experience that complements the band’s signature sound.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting new material from THE HALO EFFECT. The next album «March Of The Unheard» promises to showcase the band’s artistic evolution while staying true to the melodic death metal roots their fans have come to love.
The guitarist Niclas Engelin Comment on the song:
«This song is based on the theme of the intro melody in all of our ninety-six concerts. I had the idea to start the whole album with this theme and build a whole song around it. Michael “He took the entire song to another level with his lyrics, illuminating the need for our society to listen to the voices of the unheard, the powerless.”
And continues:
“We all love melancholic melodies at an uptempo pace, and if we add some harmonies, we get a beautiful Halo song. Working with the powerful Gothenburg marching band ‘Göta Lejon’ has left us speechless both in the studio and live… damn powerful!!!
