HEAVY HALO: alt-industrial dream team delivers new single "Failure."; music video pays tribute to computer viruses of the 1990s
Alt-industrial dream team Heavy Halo has revealed "Failure.," the new single from its forthcoming album, Damaged Dream.
Stream the official music video for "Failure." – consisting entirely of footage of actual computer viruses from the 1990s, bearing ominous names such as Crucifixion, Fear, Ithaqua, Morphine, and Possessed – here: https://youtu.be/IKeg0-36ZNU
Vocalist McKeever gives this statement about the new single: "'Failure.' is the heaviest and most severe song on Damaged Dream. It’s about how nihilism is a cognitive virus that spreads when your ideals shatter at the hands of cold reality. When you watch everyone you know suffer at various points in their lives you have to face the wreckage of your own innocence. So once that’s gone, what do you have left? Well there’s power and resilience in desperation and catharsis. For us, we’re just trying to write our way out of hell. Creating in spite of the void is its own victory."
Based in Brooklyn, New York, Heavy Halo is the duo of McKeever and producer Gosteffects. Working out of Spellsound Studios, located inside a historic, 19th-century Brooklyn hospital building, the pair meld metallic guitars, frenetic beats, and yearning vocals into industrialized alt-rock anthems for the next generation. New album Damaged Dream will be released July 25th on Silent Pendulum Records.
Revolver Magazine has praised Heavy Halo's "chunky riffs and EBM-panicked beatwork" and "nihilistic yet melodic vocals about diving headfirst into the chaos that surrounds us every day."
Post-Punk.com recently delivered this assessment of the band's sound: "Built on a backbone of industrial-techno rhythms, its serrated guitars slash through raw electronics, a collision of sweat and circuitry... a machine with a beating heart, nodding to Nine Inch Nails and KMFDM with the raw urgency of Smashing Pumpkins and the aching howl of The Cure. The ghosts of ‘90s rebellion flicker in its DNA, yet its spirit is welded to the digital age, where raw emotion fuses with cold machinery. In this, Heavy Halo also finds kinship with HEALTH and Poppy, reveling in that chaotic crossroads where flesh meets electric power."
