So it :: is with Halo: four resonant early twenty somethings who :: formed a band in Bristol and soon discovered that blazing :: euphony was their instinctive sound. Produced by Gil :: Norton and the legendary Al Clay, the quartet's debut :: album, 'Lunatic Ride' fuses passionate fire sign rock :: with the band's pop-metal rooted energy. "There are :: things in the music that everyone can relate to, likethe :: singing is kind of angelic, but there's a lot of darkness :: in the lyrics and the contrast is part of what makes it :: interesting", explains frontman Graeme Moncrieff. :: Expertly melding several different musical genres into a :: singular, cathartic style, the burnished frieze of Halo's :: soundscape takes in Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Muse, NIN, and :: Jimi Hendrix, the vocal harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel :: and the sheer rock force of Nirvana. Includes the singles :: 'Cold Light Of Day', 'Sanctimonious' and 'Never Ending'. :: 'Halo have guitars the size of skyscrapers, towering :: vocals and epic melodies' - Kerrang! :: :: 'Halo meld the metal hysteria of The Cooper Temple Clause :: with ambitious vocal operatics and an Ash-style :: accessibility's at this rate it won't be long before :: they're creating their own storm in heaven' - NME :: :: 'These Bristol boys are gonna be massive' - Rocksound :: :: :: __ __________ ________________________ _ _ _ _ __________ \\ \\________//--------\\____________________________ _ _ _ _ ____// .. :: track listing. :: :: 01. still here :: 02. shine :: 03. cold light of day :: 04. all or nothing :: 05. only for you :: 06. escape :: 07. sanctimonious :: 08. here i am :: 09. incinerator :: 10. feel :: 11. neverending :: 12. vampire song :: 13. perfectly still :: __ __________ ________________________ _ _ _ _ __________ \\ \\________//--------\\____________________________ _ _ _ _ ____// .. :: (c) smooth steel release - 2002 and beyond. ::......................................................... ...... . . .. :: :: ::..........:: ::.... . .
