The Halo Effect drop music video for "Cruel Perception"

Swedish melodic death metal outfit The Halo Effect have dropped a new music video for their latest track, "Cruel Perception." Directed by Johan Carlén, the video serves as a tribute to the band's hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden.

The song comes ahead of the band's forthcoming second album, March Of The Unheard, which is set to arrive on January 10, 2025. Today the group released a music video for the previously released single, "", which dropped earlier this week. 

Guitarist Niclas Engelin shared the following:

'Cruel Perception' is packed with guitar harmonies and melodies that sprung from my noodling on the acoustic guitar in the living room one late night with a coffee in hand, which turned out to be a true Melodic Death Metal anthem.

It's funny how some songs turn out in the end from late night acoustic guitar noodling to full on Melodic Death Metal, but that's the beauty with Halo, you never know how it's going to sound in the end with everybody's magic in the studio. We hope you will enjoy this song as much as we do and we just can't wait to play this song live for you all!
