ANTICIPATED ALBUMS: HEAVY HALO- DAMAGED DREAM

A little while back I brought up a band called Heavy Halo and I’ve been totally enthralled by them. Their distinctive sound that mixes electronic, industrial, alternative and a bit of goth makes for one hell of an enjoyable listen. Imagine if Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure, and a dash of (early) New Order, put that all together and you get Heavy Halo. Their album Damaged Dream comes out on July 25 and it’s definitely one of the most anticipated albums for the rest of 2025 for me. There are so many different things to unpack when listening to this band and their album. One of the things that I love most is the use of melody throughout which brings a different light to the genre. The hooks found in the songs as well, drive home that there is more in these songs than just beats. Lyrically too, its a deeply reflective album that resonates in many different ways. July 25 can’t come soon enough so the rest of you can hear this album! Really stoked on what’s to come from this band and I still have hope that there will be a Los Angeles show in the near future because I need to see this live!

ON THE RISE: HEAVY HALO

One of my favorite things about running Audioeclectica is getting to hear all sorts of bands and artists. When new music arrives in my inbox I get pretty excited to check out what’s in there. One of the bands I recently came across that has peaked my interest is a band called Heavy Halo who hail from NYC. Heavy Halo is a very interesting and compelling band as their sound is inspired by Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins and The Cure. When listening to the band you can pick up on the subtleties of those bands but it doesn’t sound derivative. Instead there are distinct sounds of the dark new romantic era mixed with a cinematic element that feels like you are inside a score of a film. Their latest single “New Blood” from their upcoming album, Damaged Dream (out July 25th via Silent Pendulum Records) is quite the trip of a song. The accompanying video definitely plays on the cinematic element that I talked about. I’m really excited to hear more from Heavy Halo and hopefully a Los Angeles show is in the cards soon so I can see this all live! So check out Heavy Halo and see why they are on the rise!
