The Halo Effect

Supports: Lacuna Coil & Omnium Gatherum

Hot off the release of driving new single _Lest We Fall_ and a run of successful shows with Heaven Shall Burn and The Black Dahlia Murder, melodic death metal mavens The Halo Effect have announced their 2027 European Tour.

The Swedish five-piece, whose members defined the often-imitated Gothenburg sound in the 1990s, will headline across the continent in February and March. Joining them as special guests will be gothic metal standard-bearers Lacuna Coil, with fellow melodeath frontrunners Omnium Gatherum opening.

Artist exclusive presale starts tomorrow, April 16th, and the general on sale on April 17th. Tickets available under:

Guitarist Niclas Engelin says:
“Halos in Europe, we can't wait to be back on the road in 2027! This time we bring the almighty Lacuna Coil and Omnium Gatherum with us, who we have been friends with for a long time. We look forward to an amazing time with you all!”

Since emerging in 2021 with propulsive anthem _Shadowminds_, The Halo Effect have been one of the most talked-about bands in death metal. Their music sees singer Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity), guitarists Jesper Strömblad (represented live by The Haunted’s Patrik Jensen) and Niclas Engelin, bassist Peter Iwers and drummer Daniel Svensson return to their roots while incorporating new ideas, from dramatic strings to atmospheric keyboards.

Their 2022 debut album, _Days of the Lost_, was nominated for a Swedish Grammy Award and followed by huge tours with Machine Head, Meshuggah and Amon Amarth. The band took home the Rising Star trophy at the 2024 Metal Hammer Awards, and last year’s _March of the Unheard_ was met with widespread critical acclaim.

Following the surprise covers EP _We Are Shadows_, February’s standalone single _Lest We Fall_ (featuring Heaven Shall Burn’s Marcus Bischoff and The Black Dahlia Murder’s Brian Eschbach) continued The Halo Effect’s growth with an industrial-tinged attack. They’ll maintain their momentum by appearing at selected festivals during the summer.

As well as performing at Hellfest, Rock am Härtsfeldsee and Kaaos Festival, they’ll return to Sweden Rock: the place where they made their much-anticipated live debut four years ago.
