THE HALO EFFECT is a new band featuring five luminaries of Swedish melodic death metal and pioneers of the genre: Peter Iwers, Daniel Svensson, Jesper Stromblad, Niclas Englin and Mikael Stanne.  

This band started with an idea between old friends about doing something cool together, to somehow recapture the creativity and energy we felt growing up with metal in Gothenburg. Teaming up with two of the most respected and seasoned bands in the world of metal will be the perfect way to show what we are all about.
