The Halo Effect – release ‘Lest We Fall’ feat. Brian Eschbach (The Black Dahlia Murder) & Marcus Bischoff (Heaven Shall Burn)

Swedish melodic metal force THE HALO EFFECT have officially launched their highly anticipated European tour alongside HEAVEN SHALL BURN and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, which kicked off on February 27th. To mark the tour’s opening night, the bands treated fans to a special gift: the release of a brand-new single, ‘Lest We Fall’. The track is a powerful collaboration featuring all three vocalists, blending soaring melodies, crushing riffs, and anthemic intensity into a modern melodic metal standout. ‘Lest We Fall’ captures the spirit of the tour itself – unity, energy, and a shared passion for heavy music – while showcasing the distinct strengths that have made each band a pillar of the scene. Following the single’s release on February 27th, the bands now present a captivating live video filmed during the first days of the tour, bringing the raw on-stage energy of the collaboration to life. With the tour underway and a new visual companion to the track, fans can expect unforgettable nights across Europe as these three heavyweights bring their combined fire to the stage.

Mikael Stanne comments on the collaboration:“In order to kick this tour off properly we have a treat of epic proportions for you guys. As we are in full production for our next album we decided to take a bit of a detour and create something specifically for this tour throughout Europe. So here it is! “LEST WE FALL” featuring none others than Marcus Bischoff from Heaven Shall Burn and Brian Eschbach from The Black Dahlia Murder. Enjoy and see you out on the road!”

And Maik Weichert from Heaven Shall Burn adds:“Without the musical contributions of each and every member of The Halo Effect, the sound of Heaven Shall Burn simply wouldn’t exist in this form. It’s a huge honor for us to finally join forces with our friends and present this song to you! We’re also incredibly excited to have the guys on tour with us; this is going to be the best school trip ever! Be there!” 

And Brian Eschbach from The Black Dahlia Murder says:“Very honored to have been asked to join in on this one with these melodic death metal legends”
