Mikael Stanne (The Halo Effect, Dark Tranquility) on The MetalSucks Podcast #449

The Halo Effect vocalist Mikael Stanne is our guest this week! We
discussed the origins of his new band The Halo Effect, how the
pandemic helped the project in crafting the debut album, the
decades he has known his other bandmates in the project, the
secretive nature of the project and the excitement to rollout the
announcement to fans, if he felt the expectations that the project
would bring to the fanbase when writing the songs, the story behind
naming the project, the approach on writing lyrics based on his
history with his band members, focusing on negativity, injustice
and destructive thoughts being part of the writing process, and the
experience of performing 4 songs in the freezing cold on a roof top
in Sweden. Petar, Jozalyn, and Sylvia discuss the fan that rushed
the stage at a Rage Against The Machine show that lead to Tom
Morello getting tackled, Ivan Moody disowning Five Finger Death
Punch’s Music Video, and Michael Keene’s latest moment before a
performance of The Faceless. Song: The Halo Effect “Shadowminds”
