THE HALO EFFECT have unveiled the stunning video for the third single from the highly anticipated album March Of The Unheard, set for release on January 10, 2025, via Nuclear Blast.
The new single is an anthemic masterpiece, driven by soaring melodic guitars and THE HALO EFFECT’s unmistakable signature sound. Capturing the very essence of Gothenburg’s melodic death metal legacy, the track delivers a powerful blend of haunting melodies and crushing intensity, cementing the band’s place as modern torchbearers of the genre.
The accompanying video takes fans on an immersive journey through the streets of their hometown, Gothenburg. With sweeping visuals and a raw, heartfelt connection to their roots, the video is both a tribute to the city that shaped them and a striking visual complement to the single’s energy and emotion.
Guitar wizard and main songwriter Niclas Engelin comments:
“‘Cruel Perception’ is packed with guitar harmonies and melodies that sprung from my noodling on the acoustic guitar in the living room one late night with a coffee in hand, which turned out to be a true Melodic Death Metal anthem. It’s funny how some songs turn out in the end from late night acoustic guitar noodling to full on Melodic Death Metal, but that’s the beauty with Halo, you never know how it’s going to sound in the end with everybody’s magic in the studio. We hope you will enjoy this song as much as we do and we just can’t wait to play this song live for you all! “
