The Halo Effect was founded in 2019[3] by five former members of the Swedish metal band In Flames: its founder Jesper Strömblad, early vocalist Mikael Stanne and long-time members Niclas Engelin, Peter Iwers, and Daniel Svensson.
Their stated motivation was to return to the roots of the 1990s "Gothenburg sound" that pioneered the melodic death metal genre.[4] The band's name references the song "Halo Effect" on Rush's album Clockwork Angels.[5]
The band released their debut single "Shadowminds" on 9 November 2021 ahead of their debut album Days of the Lost, released on 12 August 2022.[6][7] To support the album, the band toured Europe and the UK with Amon Amarth and Machine Head in September and October.[8][9]
Their second studio album was recorded in 2024 with a tentative release date of early 2025.[10][11] Its first single "Detonate" was released on 25 September 2024.[12]
