The Halo Effect announce debut album ‘Days Of The Lost’

THE HALO EFFECT have announced their debut album!

Titled Days Of The Lost, the upcoming album from the Swedish melodic death metal band is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Days Of The Lost. The new single is the third song to be released from the upcoming album; following on from the release of Shadowminds and Feel What I Believe.

The new song’s accompanying music video was shot on a cold day in January on a rooftop at a location in Gothenburg called Ringön. Previously an industrial wasteland, the area is now a bustling hotspot. It was directed by Theo Gabay along with his sidekick Morgan Jensen, who are more known in Sweden for their movie and TV work.

Speaking about the new song, frontman Mikael Stanne says, “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.”
