Subsequently, Strömblad, Iwers, and Svensson played together in In Flames for over 20 years by the time Strömblad quit that band in 2010.The Halo Effect coalesced in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and according to press releases, the motivating idea behind the band was to return to the roots of the 1990s "Gothenburg sound" that pioneered the melodic death metal genre.[5] According to an interview on Robb Flynn's No F'n Regrets podcast, the band's name comes from the song off Rush's album Clockwork AngelsTheir debut album is due to be released August 12, 2022, after which the band will be touring Europe and the UK throughout September and October. « hide
