Five Former Members Of In Flames Unite In The Halo Effect

I don't have a problem with his vocals in DT, it's just that on recent albums he's just kind of... there. Not bad, but not particularly interesting either. In Shadowminds he was really on point, though, especially with his delivery. He really adds to the song in a majorly positive way.

I feel like Mikael's harsh vocals don't really fit Moment. Like, it's pretty mellow, melodic music. I can picture Jonas Renkse singing on that album; the growling just seems out of place.
Like, the band is evolving in this really moody and atmospheric direction and Mikael's approach hasn't quite caught up yet.

[Mikael and Peter sitting on a couch]
Mikael: [turns to Peter] But then you asked me, in fact yeah, actually seriously, we should like, you know, do something. Alright, like what should it be, you know? And I was intrigued like 'what could this be? What could we make of it?' I know that Niclas was writing a lot of songs and then you [Peter] mentioned that you and Daniel were on board and I was like, 'wow, this is kind of like... the old days again'. That was intriguing.
[Change shot to Niclas]
Niclas: We talked it through and it was like 'yes, let's just play some music again, just... have fun. Maybe we should talk to the wizard... [black & white picture of Jesper], the magician, Jesper and see if he's up to the idea.

It would be funny if Shadowminds was the only song these guys ever released, no album or anything. They'd go on stage and play that one song and then leave to huge applause. Instead of an album they'd put out 10-second clips of Jesper taking a drag on a blunt in the darkness.
Hm, Engelin posted a photo with Jesper. Maybe they are recording another video? They're using different guitars to those in Shadowminds video.
Somebody who can play solo stuff.

Exactly. 3 guitars would be epic.
Anybody think that Shadowminds would be a good band name? Maybe better than The Halo Effect.

Peter and Mikael were on Robb Flynn's podcast and confirmed a few things:
There is an album. It will be released in August 2022.
The next single (and video) will be coming around mid-January.
The album has 10 songs, Shadowminds is the opener.
The album is done (and sounds like it has been for a bit.)
They have not rehearsed a single time yet.
There is a very special guest on one track. Mikael said he isn't allowed to say who yet.
Mikael said the album is a mix of fast and slower paced songs.
Overall, it was a good interview. Mikael and Peter talked about Dark Tranquillity's first US show in San Francisco in 2002, supporting In Flames. Mikael told a story about it, which was quite interesting to me personally because I was at that show. Both of these dudes come across as genuinely good people.
