In a 2022 interview with Metal Injection, Stanne mentioned he sees The Halo Effect as an everlasting undertaking and never only a one-off factor.
“I actually see this as being an everlasting undertaking. We wrote far more songs for the album than what ended up [using], so we’re already midway by means of the following album when it comes to songwriting. So we have that lined. I imply, it is nice.
“It has been tough, after all, to type of launch a brand new band, determining how issues acquired to look, what an album’s going to appear to be, logos, photos, all that type of stuff. However that is been fascinating to type of begin from nothing, however after all utilizing all of our expertise and contacts. So as soon as we type of get this going we’ll hold doing it, and all people’s tremendous busy, clearly, with all the pieces. So possibly it may be like every time we play it may be extra unique, I wish to assume.
“However no, we’ll hold doing it. We had a blast recording the album. We began rehearsing simply earlier than I went on this tour and it felt implausible simply to be in a room collectively and simply going to play these songs. And so yeah, I believe we have now shot at persevering with this. The reception thus far has been implausible. It is a enjoyable factor however yeah, after all throughout the pandemic it’s totally simple to say sure to all the pieces. And it is not that I remorse it, however I notice that I am in over my head right here as a result of I am by no means going to be house once more [laughs]. But it surely’s all good.”
