The Halo Effect have premiered the single “The Needless End” from their debut studio album “Days Of The Lost“. Nuclear Blast have an August 12th release date scheduled for the latter. The outfit are a veritable supergroup of former In Flames members, with a roster that includes:
Vocalist: Mikael Stanne
Guitarist: Jesper Strömblad
Guitarist: Niclas Engelin
Bass: Peter Iwers
Drums: Daniel Svensson
Stanne (also of Dark Tranquillity and Grand Cadaver), had the following to say about this latest offering:
“‘The Needless End‘ deals with the crippling inability to deal with abstract problems. Issues that just seem too huge or incomprehensible falls by the wayside in order to deal with more immediate but less important issues. We end up somewhere not because we want to but because we were unable to understand what we needed to do. There is an intensity to this song and a uplifting melody that I think suits this idea. Among all the anger and resentment it’s also hopeful and has an infectious groove and drive.”
