The Halo Effect, the new project featuring Dark Tranquillity and former In Flames members, are gearing up for their debut album, Days Of The Lost, which is scheduled to arrive on August 12th via Nuclear Blast. Today (3rd) the group has shared a video for their latest single, “The Needless End.”

Frontman Mikael Stanne comments: 

“The Needless End deals with the crippling inability to deal with abstract problems. Issues that just seem too huge or incomprehensible falls by the wayside in order to deal with more immediate but less important issues. We end up somewhere not because we want to but because we were unable to understand what we needed to do. There is an intensity to this song and a uplifting melody that I think suits this idea. Among all the anger and resentment it’s also hopeful and has an infectious groove and drive.”
