Knowing each other from an early age during the late 80's and then playing together in different constellations during the 90's, they came to dominate the Metal scene in Gothenburg [...] This was also the initial thought behind The Halo Effect - to go back to the roots and explore what the groundbreaking metal sounded like then. And add the experience and skills of what the members could bring to the table now. The result is an exceptional album and real tour de force to fans of melodeath where the echoes of the Gothenburg Sound is evident.
