THE HALO EFFECT - Cruel Perception (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@captainiamtherum7659]

Mikael Stanne has been on a roll this year. Entire albums from Dark Tranquility and Cemetery Skyline plus working on The Halo Effect's sophomore. Mad respect to this man for giving us 2 amazing albums this year and another one to look forward to.

[@TheDretch]

Except Dark Tranquility has turned into a very mediocre band and hasn't had a GREAT album in awhile.

[@andyypsilon4721]

@@TheDretch It's called progress. But of course a matter of individual taste in the end.

[@FranciscoDuran-fuduran]

Cemetery Skyline's album is really good, specially if you're a Paradise Lost fan

[@gerardoangel900]

I'm really liking his vocals on grand cadaver

[@isaiahburridgemusic]

​@@TheDretchmediocre? Their new album is outstanding.

[@CedricDanet]

In Tranquiity/Dark Flames

😊

[@jntdhome]

Melodic death at its finest! Love these guys!!

[@Chet_Philodenge]

Seriously one of the best melodeath songs of any era. You can feel that magic from these guys.

[@georgealcoba3514]

So glad this band exists.

[@Ishavsdronning]

Put together old in flames and dark tranquility and you get this absolutely wonderful music!

[@gab.lab.martins]

Just In Flames. Every member of The Halo is a former member of In Flames. Every single one of them.

[@gerardoangel900]

You are wrong. Mikael was never a member of In flames. He was a studio singer only.

[@gab.lab.martins]

@ tomayto tomahto, you annoying little prick

[@Ishavsdronning]

@@gerardoangel900 Go check it again. He was briefly the singer of in flames. Being the singer = part of the band.

[@Ishavsdronning]

@@gab.lab.martins I meant it music wise. The best of old in flames (late 90s, early 2000s) and the best of old (and now renewed) dark tranquility. You get the purest most melodic göteborg sound

[@Jugghead]

Old In flames vibes... I'm loving it

[@HapiPETSWM]

Reminds me Anders even

[@NiCaSon6]

Did you know he was briefly in In Flames?

[@chrisholmes9625]

I would say its the best from in flames and Dt in one band

[@chrisholmes9625]

@NiCaSon6 of course. Anders were in Dt at the same time as michael in in flames. Björn was drummer in the beginning.

[@NiCaSon6]

@@chrisholmes9625no shit? I just started listen to The Halo Effect and fucking love them. Appreciate the info

[@ioannisgrigoriou2038]

Dear lord , I never realized that I would like death metal so much! Just a few days ago that I heard this band in a store in Athens and it blew my mind!!! Fantastic music guys!!!❤

[@fifis1966]

It's gonna be an amazing album. I can't wait.

[@geokard5742]

Wow... masterpiece.... Beloved Gothenburg.

[@NiklasMX]

Fantastic song! Melodic Death Metal at its best 🤘🔥

[@guitaristAustin]

This is my favorite band right now. Each song just pushes it further and further. Keep it up guys you are amazing.

[@karlwilhelmge]

You guys outdid yourselves with this one. Goosebumps everywhere. This song feels like the sky is opening right in front of me. Can't wait to hear this live at a festival this year!

[@smarreh]

The feeling in that solo is absolutely insane, one of the best Ive ever heard. Brilliant song 🙌

[@nathanlaird]

Ah, I like this so much more than the newer In Flames. The melodious guitar helps to balance the lack of melody in growling vocals vs just low chugging on the guitar.

[@somebodyandthem]

Foregone is a killer album

[@ioanairinei3633]

This song is the best my favorite song

[@pedrohenriquegalvao1]

Great song from the masters of Gothenburg Sound!

T.H.E is the perfect band for me. These guys are melody geniuses. .....I would like to visit Gothenburg

[@smote_his_ruin]

I don't think I'd ever come back..

[@roryasrorri701]

So vibrant and yet so dark. It feels like falling in love again listening to this song.

[@BjrnOlavLeraand]

Love this, it's good to hear the guys bringing back the good ol' days again. This is what IF should be, but cannot manage to do anymore

[@JoseJr1977]

Some people are bashing In Flames because The Halo Effect gentlemen released a fantastic album. IF folllowed a beautiful path and it's sad to read so many negative lines about a band we love so much.

[@21stcenturymetal31]

Master piece for my ears. Man I can't express how good this sounds. Its like all the best song from the bands I like the most in this genre. Inflames, Hypocrisy, Scar Symmetry, Soilwork, At the gates, Dark Tranquility all rolled into one band. Impressive gothenburg sound.

[@arjen6850]

I'm 36 and pretty late to the melodeath sound, always been a metalhead but just never heard it until a few years ago. Having a lot of catching up to do. I've been to a DT concert a few weeks ago, and have tickets for the Halo Effect in the Netherlands in 3 weeks. I'm addicted to the melodeath sound now.

[@danilorossini2861]

Hey! You're not late! You're on time!! Music is the art expressing itself through the vibrations of every single energy part. If you're here with us, means you're on vibe!!! Just enjoy your flow my friend!

[@arjen6850]

@@danilorossini2861 Thanks! i am enjoying the flow for sure, I will see them live this next sunday, really excited to see them!

[@danilorossini2861]

[@UnlimitedAuthority]

Damn, lucky you. I've been a DT fan for almost 20 years and never seen them. Seen The halo effect twice already somehow.

[@arjen6850]

@@UnlimitedAuthority I have been to a DT concert last november, was great. I also had tickets for in flames last oktober, but sadly I couldn't go.

This album will be phenomenal. Metal is so alive and well 🖤🖤🖤

This completes me.

Jesper and Mikael together again... its like a dream.

Hell Yeah!!! Old In Flames vibe! Bad Ass!

[@marekwaligora2700]

Fuck... Each New track is betten than previus one... I've thought that nothing can better than perfection. Mike, Jasper, Nicolas, Peter and Dan moved the the border... Unbelieveable...

[@nicolaisidek]

Damn good music! Halo Effect, DT, Cemetry all produced bangers
