Recorded on the promotional rounds for The Halo Effect’s debut album, "Days of the Lost, the episode has been available via Scars and Guitars on podcast apps since June 7, 2022. Because of the keen interest in the episode featuring Jesper Strömblad and In Flames, this conversation is now available for the audience on YouTube. In this interview, Peter and Daniel explore how "Days of the Lost" relates to In Flames' album, "Reroute to Remain," and how it influenced the musical direction of their new band.

Learn about the behind-the-scenes collaboration with producer Oscar Nilsson as they delve into the lyrical themes explored in the album. Discover how Peter and Daniel's musical connection has evolved as they complement each other's playing, giving birth to The Halo Effect as a distinct entity from In Flames. We uncover the In Flames’ evolution and unwavering pursuit of improvement in their craft. In Flames' influence on the metalcore genre and their pivotal role in the rock and metal revival of the early 2000s are duly acknowledged. Moreover, we shed light on Scandinavia's enduring passion for rock and metal and its supportive music community that encourages creativity and genre-crossing collaboration. Peter and Daniel discuss The Halo Effect's unique musical approach, staying true to their creative instincts while avoiding stagnation. Humble about their past achievements with In Flames, the duo firmly focuses on their current project, cherishing the joy of making music and delivering exceptional performances on stage.
