From New York City, Heavy Halo is the duo of vocalist McKeever and producer Gosteffects. Together, the two conjure an industrialized strain of alt-rock that unites human and machine in highly compelling ways. "A raw human core encased in an exoskeleton of dense layers of futuristic electronics," is McKeever's description of Heavy Halo's approach. "This contrast is what excites us," he declares.

From New York City, Heavy Halo is the duo of vocalist McKeever and producer Gosteffects. Together, the two conjure an industrialized strain of alt-rock that unites human and machine in highly compelling ways. "A raw human core encased in an exoskeleton of dense layers of futuristic electronics," is McKeever's description of Heavy Halo's approach. "This contrast is what excites us," he declares.
In the words of an October 2024 article from Revolver Magazine, the sound is a glorious mix of "chunky riffs and EBM-panicked beatwork" and "nihilistic yet melodic vocals about diving headfirst into the chaos that surrounds us every day."
A perfectly odd couple, the native New Yorker McKeever is a Columbia University-educated composer and vocalist who spent a decade entrenched in Brooklyn's indie rock scene, while Gosteffects cut his teeth DJ'ing and promoting illegal raves in Oklahoma. The unlikely pair met at a goth party in Brooklyn and instantly put their chemistry to action.
With one debut album under their studded belts, McKeever and Gosteffects will release Heavy Halo's sophomore album, Damaged Dream, in 2025 via Silent Pendulum Records. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Gosteffects, whose production credits also include official remixes for the likes of Duran Duran.
While jagged guitars and raw electronics reference the likes of Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, and The Prodigy, yearning melodic vocals reflect childhoods spent wallowing in the angst of Smashing Pumpkins and The Cure. With that said, Heavy Halo is of the future, not the past. The band lands amidst today's most forward-thinking artists blurring lines between industrial, metal, and pop –– HEALTH, Poppy, and 3TEETH, to name three. Its songs have been remixed by members of 3TEETH, as well as Atari Teenage Riot, Kontravoid, Pictureplane, and more.
Vocalist McKeever gives this statement about the new single, "Erase Yr Fate": "The vast emptiness of mental isolation. The weightlessness of drifting through shades of melancholy, endlessly cycling like phases of the moon. When the two sides of the cursed coin of depression and anxiety have you in their icy grip, you’re a cosmonaut falling away from the warmth of home, air supply running low, locked in the unknown. 'Erase Yr Fate' was inspired by these alienated feelings and by binge watching every space movie possible: 2001, Solaris, Interstellar… However, while out first album was 'hell' and fixated on descending into the dark murk, Damaged Dream is 'purgatory.' The burning spirit of resilience and revenge glows deep within 'Erase Yr Fate.' Neck craned towards the sun, bloodshot eyes gazing upwards. Despite seemingly hopeless circumstances you rage against the dying of the light and push to alter the course of the inevitable."
