And once again, we’re proud to present you a real banger for the line-up of Reload Festival 2025: THE HALO EFFECT – finest melodic death metal straight from the Scandinavian melting pot Gothenburg, Sweden!

Now that THE HALO EFFECT have already had a taste of touring as support for Machine Head, Amon Amarth, and Meshuggah, it’s time for them to take center stage. The Swedes are embarking on a major headlining tour across Europe in early 2025 and will make a stop in Sulingen to set Reload Festival on fire.
For you, that means a set packed with fan favorites from their debut album, along with brand-new tracks. According to singer Mikael Stanne, the band’s goal is to ‘play to their own strengths’ and create music that ‘feels good’.”

Do these faces look familiar? No surprise there—apart from Mikael Stanne, who was already with us in 2022 with Dark Tranquillity, all members are former In Flames musicians. That means you can expect a pure dose of death metal straight from its originators—only in a fresh new lineup that you definitely shouldn’t miss!
