The Halo Effect Unveils Cover Of Phenomena Staple "Dance With The Devil"

Swedish melodic death metal collective The Halo Effect continues to reveal tracks from their forthcoming cover EP "We Are Shadows," out November 21. Each band member has chosen a personal favorite song to reinterpret, and this time it’s guitarist Niclas Engelin’s turn. His choice: the 1985 classic "Dance With The Devil" by the legendary “supergroup” Phenomena, featuring Glenn Hughes, Mel Galley (Whitesnake), and Cozy Powell, among others.

The Halo Effect's version transforms the iconic track into a crushing, melodic storm — with Mikael Stanne’s ferocious growls and the band’s trademark guitar-driven intensity breathing new life into the timeless song.

Niclas Engelin recalls the song’s lasting impact: "I got hit by lightning in the 7th grade when I got to borrow the album by Phenomena from my friend Emil Olsen. The song Dance With The Devil struck me hard, and I recorded the whole album on cassette — which I played into dust."

"We Are Shadows" will feature unique reinterpretations personally chosen by each member of The Halo Effect, showcasing the diverse influences behind one of Sweden’s most acclaimed modern metal acts.
