THE HALO EFFECT - Shadowminds (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) 

More In Flames members than In Flames themselves, incredible. I love this for that reason alone.

Anyone who’s been listening to melodic death metal for over two decades know how special all these dudes are. Legendary 🔥🤘🏻

As a massive fan of Dark Tranquility and In Flames this makes me so fucking happy bro!

This is the return to the Göteborg's sound. Definitely massive.

With a lineup like this, I'd pay them money just to stand in a room together.

Extremely exciting that these absolute legends will be on tour with Amon Amarth and Machine Head in Europe next year!

This is the best return of Jesper Strömblad ever and it sounds wonderful

Stannes voice hooked me in dark tranquility

It's so, so cool to see Peter, Daniel and Jesper playing together again. I just can't wait to listen to the whole album. Long live The Halo Effect!!!

Loved the song, it's like Dark Tranquillity and In Flames had a child, really really nice 🤘🏼🔥

Mad respect for Mikael staying metal after all this time. Seeing him front a band with some of my favorite musicians, and still being heavy as fuck after what - 30+ years in the business? It makes me really happy that bands are still making the music we old guys like. I don't want to talk about current in flames much, but this Singer is like a breath of fresh air.

I literally just discovered this band an hour ago, and I’m HOOKED, I’m in such a mix of emotions between excited, relieved & in awe from the fact these legends all came together, especially the former members of In Flames

Ohhh that atmosphere 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻 Dark Tranquillity/In Flames Sound is 🎸🎸🎸 love it!!!

"Shadowminds" lyrics: One side of this watershed moment Left the fair and true objective far behind For fear of facing what rationale resigns to The thought of you alone with demons on your mind Ravaging the nerves Overtaking consciousness What was said and what was done Now haunt the witching hour Let the now begin today To the past a swift farewell Innocence is nothing When shadowminds prevail Let the fear be gone today To oblivion we cast it down When shadowminds prevail Let go of this, the embers of the day Bring not the fire to the combustible night Rather have the anger extinguish the flames Than numbing chemicals to keep it at bay Ravaging the nerves Overtaking consciousness What was said and what was done Now haunt the witching hour Let the now begin today To the past a swift farewell Innocence is nothing When shadowminds prevail Let the fear be gone today To oblivion we cast it down When shadowminds prevail Let the now begin today To the past a swift farewell Innocence is nothing When shadowminds prevail Let the fear be gone today To oblivion we cast it down When shadowminds prevail Let the now begin To oblivion we cast you down Innocence is nothing Don't let shadowminds prevail

Stanne's voice brightens up my life.

I fucking love this. Feels like home, feels familiar, but also feels fresh because nobody's done this to such a high standard for so long.

I'm now reminded why In Flames w/ Jesper was the GOAT. I'm also reminded why I've been a fan of DT for 20 some years. This collab is insane!!

I'm actually in tears. I can hear Jesper sooooooo much in this song. It's so redemptive to see him doing what he does best with actual musicians that share the same ideas and visions.

This is fucking outstanding. Might pre-order the album based on this alone.

I'm an old In Flames fan, starting with Jester Race several years back, I was in tears when Jesper, Daniel, and Peter left the band; imagine my reaction when I found out of this group, I found myself reliving those good old times when In Flames was In Flames, and happy that they didn't leave music behind focusing on making beer. BTW, there's nothing wrong with them making beer, I'm a homebrewer myself

Stannes vocals are so freaking awesome!

This feels like a parallel universe, where Stanne became the vocalist of In Flames. Im crying tears - This is so fucking good!

Wait.. I came here to hear what Jesper is up to these days, and did not expect to see the whole IN FLAMES here haha! Wow I am so happy!

This is a wet musical dream of every metal head and a fan of Dark Tranquillity and In Flames from the yearly 2000. It’s sound so goooood. Can’t wait for the whole album. 🤘🏻

Sounds like Dark Tranquility.

What a lineup! Damn solid song too. No whiny vocals, no generic breakdowns, actual riffs and guitar-driven structure. A fine slab of Swedish melodeath all around.

Too many people in these comments don't realize Mikael Stanne was part of In Flames in the very very beginning!!

It's absolutely insane how good this actually is.

I cant describe what I'm feeling Its like a dream come true, sounds and feels like a different kind of In Flames but in the best way possible I even dare to say how it should be. Current In Flames lost their passion and still I bought every CD from 1990 to 2021 but THIS, THIS is what I was looking for. Everything falls in the right place, its like I got my favorite band back.

5 former In Flames members. Never thought I'd see the day. This kicks ass!!!! I miss hearing Jesper's guitars!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

The Guitar riffs are beatiful like old in flames. Thanks for bring back those awesome riffs.

The chorus hits SO FUCKING HARD. This is how to do epic melodic death metal

Gothenburg-Metal lives again. So happy to see the boys jamming around together. Especially I feel happy about seeing Strömblad in action again. This kind of music suits him better than CyHra tbh. I'm digging that song for sure! Thanks so much

Its nice to see Jesper and Daniel back in action. Really missed 'em! Jesper-like leads around here, love this one!

This gives me the same feelings that Colony did when I first heard In Flames, and the same feeling I got from hearing The Mind's I by Dark Tranquillity. Its like I've been blasted 20 odd years into the past. So glad I survived long enough to hear this.

I was shocked by how good this is, then I learned who the band is, then I was just happy.

Daniel, Peter, Jesper; thank you. I've been waiting for this sound to come back for 20 years. Daniel, you are one of my all time favorite drummers. I can't say more; tears. ...I'm not crying you're crying.

Holy fucking fuck let's gooooooooo! I haven't been this excited about a release like this since I got into melodeath when I was a kid. This band is something SPECIAL, man, and I can't wait to see what else we get from them!

The beginning almost makes me cry. Such power should be illegal!! Beautiful

As a fan of Melodic death metal and knowing who this guys are and the history behind them, fucking hell i cannot hide my happines i fucking love what i see

I'm wearing an old jesterhead tattoo on my leg. Been a fan for 20 years now. This made me cry like a little girl, which got a puppy for birthday

I feel like when I was 16 and I discovered death melodic metal music for the first time. This is so perfect, I want to cry. Thank you.

This is like a hug from an old friend.

A heavy, aggressive, and absolutely addictive track!

Just came back home from a heart surgery and this appeared on my feed. You guys made my day!

In Flames Jesper era is possibly my favourite metal music offering of all time. Dark Tranquillity have been a favourite band for over 20 years, and now my favourite band overall. This collab is a dream come true, and it sounds incredible!

This album is a diamond. I just wish that they will continue to make more in the future. Stanne never ceases to amaze.

This sounds fantastic. Can't go wrong with this pedigree of musicians. I am also a big fan of Niclas & his work in Engel. Looking forward to hearing more from them!!

In JESPER we trust! Great song, great vocals... Mikael Stanne is another level. Glad to see this core united again making tunes like these... can't wait for the album! Hail from Brazil!

There are no words to describe how awesome this is. I've been wanting to see these guys play together again since Jesper left in 2008. This band is literally more In Flames than the actual In Flames both in sound and in number of original members. That makes you think.

First time listening: oh nice song After month: damn cool song After 1year: SHADOW MAST PREVAIIIIIIIL

Очень классно!Получится отличный коллектив!Уже звучит бодро!До конца за Мелодик Дет!

Nice to see the guys back in town! Really cool, but, WE WANT MORE! 🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤

"In Tranquillity Flames"... this must be the absolute dream of my life... Stanne's voice is incredible as always, and the music... well... astonishing!!!

love how they bring the old melodic death metal sound, strong harmony

This is fucking amazing. I love Mikael's voice/style so much. I was never into this genre until I discovered DT. Keep killing it. I can't wait to see more

This is one the best Death Metal tunes I've ever heard. I was optimistic after the intro and wasn't disappointed when the main tune kicked in. Great hooks, a killer riff, and an all-round good experience, well produced, well structured and I like the way the coda cycles you back to the intro - it makes want to go round that cycle several times. It will be awesome played live. A must-listen for metalheads. My Score: Very Good 4*

I can’t stop listening to this. It’s so bloody brilliant

It's like a cross between Colony/Clayman In Flames and Mind's I/Damage Done Dark Tranquillity. This is more In Flames than what In Flames currently are.

Я услышал в 98 In Flames впервые Сейчас мне 40 и и до сих пор они и DT для меня лучшее что есть в музыке. Этот трек великолепен.

Can we just say this is In Flames?

This is incredible, makes me feel like a child again when I first listened to Dark Tranquillity and In Flames for the first time, this sounds like the band they always wanted to become with their own bands but never could, It's great to see them having so much fun playing together afer all these years! Great Stuff guys!

This is amazing how am I just learning about this. This what I've been waiting for.

There is no question whether i get this or not. I AM getting this album.

It is everything I had hoped....for the most part. Daniels driving groove cymbal work is back and god damn I love it.

This song was a lot better then it had any right to be! I'm impressed. Now Daniel just needs to get his ass back to record another Sacrilege album!!

I love how in some metal music videos, the drummer shot shows the drummer is super chill, just grooving, like playing is the easiest thing in the world to them, but the camera is like violently having a seizure in an earthquake.

in Halo Effect we trust!

"This is a message to the general public in Gothenburg, we ask you to keep all windows closed, stay in doors, and wait for further instructions".

It's Like Dark Tranquillity From Another Dimension!! Absolutely Killer Track!

Goteborg city views in clip are integrated incredibly. The song is a banger.

Time only makes this song better.

What an absolute piece of true melodic death metal. Stopped listening to inflames few times back and than suddenly boom got this on my recommendation , trust me this lineup will blow away in liveshows ❤️

This is meant to be......finally the good old parts of Inflames with the mighty vocals of Dark Tranquility....man I am so excited for this!

in flames and dark tranquility combine i get goosebumps from hearing this xD

In these almost 3 decades, there have been so many absolute masterpieces of Swedish Melodic Death Metal (or how you want to tag this), but back in the early 90´s this video is the music I had in my head when I think of this genre.

DT and In Flames, fucking awesome 🤘🤘🎸

best metal chorus of 2022 prove me wrong

That brilliant mixture of In Flames and Dark Tranquillity makes me so f****** happy. Absolute legends!

This is exactly what I need. Man it takes me back to the good ole days

Literally my whole body has goosebumps.. super awesome..

Soooo happy to see all these guys playing together. Especially seeing Jesper and Stanne together again, man it gives old school Lunar Strain vibes even if the music doesn't necessarily go in that direction. Dark Tranquillity is my favorite band ever and early-mid era In Flames is the music that got me into more extreme metal to begin with. This is awesome.

this is more In Flames then In Flames

Well, I have been waiting for In Flames to make a new album for the last 15 years or so. Glad to see it finally to fruition!

Since the release, ive been listening to this on spotify. And i must say, this might be one of the best metal songs ive ever heard!

When they were coming one by one I was like oooh missed Daniel on drum cool, Peteeer back on the track YES, Niclas ? JESPEEEEER WOOOOOW!! Mikael WTF WTF !!!!!! THIS IS AN ALL STAR BAND RIGHT HERE !!!!!

The radio intro, for you non-swedish speakers: "This is a message to the public in Gothenburg and surrounding area. We are asking all of you to keep windows closed, stay inside and await further instructions."

This is literally the greatest news of 2021. Seeing your former heroes from In Flames play again.

Cannot be excited more!!! This reminds me of songs from classic In Flames albums like ‘The Jester Race’ and ‘Whoracle’!!! Furthermore, Michael’s one and only vocalization added!! I have no words!!!!

The melody of the harmony guitars lead is the same as the chorus of Full Moon Shoals by Soilwork. Good song by the way and REALLY glad to see Jesper, Peter and Daniel around again.

Literally the best thing. All my favorite artists coming together this is great.

This is just AMAZING! Thank you guys for this band of masters!!!

Absolute legends nailing the perfect mix of their iconic melo death style and modern metal 🖤 give us more!! 🤘 good job guys

It’s like original in flames have come back for vengeance. Brilliant!

0:31 I love openings like these.

In Flames have always been one of my favorite artists ever. But sadly they ceased to truly be In Flames after Jesper left. Their discography was nearly flawless up to that point. With each subsequent album, they have drifted further away from being the melodic death metal pioneers that we loved so much. It is very apparent just how important Jesper was to their sound. I’ve sampled some of their recent stuff, it’s utterly unrecognizable as “In Flames”. So to see all these guys back together again, making fucking kickass metal, is a dream I never thought would come true. I cannot fucking WAIT to hear this album when it’s released!!!

Words can't express the joy this brings to my metal heart!! What a line up!!!!

THIS_IS_IT!!!! great song _ video! Jesper-the heart and soul of InFlames is back! Daniel+Peter, the rhythm of InFlames is back! Niclas-an old buddy + Stanne!!! the voice of DarkTranquillity!!!! cant wait to hear the rest of the album!! WELL DONE FELAZ \m/

Loving this sound! Fantastic Song. Really looking forward to seeing these guys live this year!

Gotta love this. Absolutely killer tune and it looks they all have an awesome time playing together.
