After the highly successful release of their second album ***March of the Unheard*** in January 2025 and their celebrated first European headlining tour, melodic death metal stars **THE HALO EFFECT** return with a powerful interpretation of **DANZIG’s** iconic track ‘**How the Gods Kill’**—originally released on the classic 1992 album *Danzig III: How the Gods Kill*.

This cover version was handpicked by front man **Mikael Stanne**, who shares:  
*“During my teenage years the darkness and allure of the early Danzig albums introduced me to a whole new way of thinking about what rock and metal could be. Glenn’s vocals and lyrics were also incredibly influential on this aspiring vocalist/lyricist.”*

The band brings a new weight and urgency to the track while preserving the brooding mystique of the original. With soaring guitar harmonies, thunderous rhythm, and Stanne’s commanding vocals, **THE HALO EFFECT **reinvents the classic through the lens of the Gothenburg sound.

To be continued….?
