THE HALO EFFECT, the new project featuring five former members of the Swedish Metal band IN FLAMES — Jesper Strömblad (guitar), Daniel Svensson (drums), Peter Iwers (bass), Niclas Engelin (guitar) and Mikael Stanne (vocals) — release its highly-anticipated debut album “Days Of The Lost” through Nuclear Blast. Alongside the release the band has also unveiled an official music video for “In Broken Trust”, directed by Theo Gabay and Morgan Jensen.
Mikael Stanne comments: “The song is about betrayal. Either to oneself or onto others. The clinical and unaffected truth might be hard to achieve but the further we stray from it the harder everything gets. This turned out to be a huge song and landing on this structure and feel took a few tries but I love how it came out and having this come out as the album drops feels incredible. Enjoy!”
