Five members of '90s In Flames have joined forces in a new band called The Halo Effect. Only a photo of the band exists currently (see above) and it's not clear when we'll get to hear the band. Still, their lineup is really exciting! The Halo Effect is:
- Guitarist Jesper Strömblad, who was in the band between 1990 and 2010
- Guitarist Niclas Engelin, who was in the band between 1997 and 1998, and then again from 2011 until now (but hasn't played with In Flames live since 2019)
- Bassist Peter Iwers, between 1997 and 2016
- Drummer Daniel Svensson, between 1998 and 2015
- Vocalist Mikael Stanne, who was In Flames' live vocalist in 1994 and performed on both Lunar Strain and Subterranean. Stanne has since found great success with Dark Tranquillity
In Flames also recently announced their pre-2008 discography is coming back to CD. Check those out here.
