The Halo Effect
The Halo Effect are a Swedish melodic death metal supergroup formed in 2019 by five former members of In Flames — guitarist Jesper Strömblad, vocalist Mikael Stanne, and long-serving members Niclas Engelin, Peter Iwers, and Daniel Svensson — with the stated goal of returning to the Gothenburg sound of the 1990s. Their debut album Days of the Lost (2022) delivered precisely what that pedigree promised: melodic death metal rooted in the era of Slaughter of the Soul and The Gallery, with accomplished production and songwriting that stood favorably alongside the genre's classic records. The band quickly established themselves as a significant force in the melodeath revival.
