The Halo Effect – reveal Japaneses only bonus track ‘Not Yet Broken’

After proving to be a force to be reckoned with through the critical and commercial triumph of their latest album March Of The Unheard and a massively successful, sold-out European tour, Swedish melodic death metal powerhouse THE HALO EFFECT return with a brand new offering.

The band proudly releases ‘Not Yet Broken’ — a heavy, hypnotic, and deeply melodic anthem that until now was exclusively available as a Japan-only bonus track. Fueled by crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and the unmistakable energy that defines THE HALO EFFECT’s sound, ‘Not Yet Broken’ stands as a testament to the band’s unwavering creative fire.

Guitarist and main songwriter Niclas Engelin comments:”I think we are fortunate to have this flood of creativity going since day one. Here is another song we have been waiting for you all to hear, it’s been talked about for a loooong time and now the time is right to unleash this riff/melody – monster for you all! This song was written during the long inspiring sessions we had for the album Days Of The Lost. We hope you will enjoy this song as much as we do, let’s bring it on the set list for this summers festivals!!”
