The Halo Effect - New Album 2023/2024

Danzig cover, I guess?

 

[DE4life]

Eh, can't say I care much about them releasing a cover song, if that's what it is.

 

[eochaid]

I doubt that it is a cover. And I've never seen any of them naming Danzig among their influences.

 

[Blast_The_Virginborn]

It is Danzig cover indeed. Not to crazy about it, in my opinion they could've covered something way more interesting in heavy metal domain.

 

[DE4life]

If they want to include it on an EP or as a Japanese bonus then whatever. Pretty weird to announce it with cover artwork, etc. Does anyone really want covers from an MDM supergroup anyway? Admittedly a cover of something off Lunar Strain would be sick with Stanne and Jesper in the band, but anything else... meh.

The best covers IF did were the non-metal tracks. It actually feels creative to convert a pop track into a genuinely cool metal song. Metal to metal, not so much.

Best covers are...

Dimension Zero's Staying Alive
Dimension Zero's Helter Skelter.

Maybe they're releasing a cover EP to keep the hype?

 

[The Grayfox]

Seems really strange to choose a Danzig cover. This had to be a Niclas idea. I don't think it was executed well either. I'll probably never listen to it again if I'm being honest.

Turns out that yes, they are.

Please, give me Upon an Oaken Throne '25

I was 100% serious. I like when bands try to make the covers with their own style.

Cover EP confirmed.

Feels more like something that’d fit into Cemetery Skyline, but it’s fucking gorgeous, and I love it

 

[Xpyro125]

I didn’t see the last page and a half of messages, shit

I love the guitar tone here so much, I really hope we get some clean passages like this on the next album— Whenever it’ll come.

Southern/pantera riff in the middle with clean singing over it was interesting, gave me strong Dolving-era The Haunted vibes.
