IN FLAMES' ANDERS FRIDÉN Hasn't Listened To THE HALO EFFECT, Dismisses Comparisons Between The Two Bands

Anders Fridén, vocalist of Swedish melodic death metal band IN FLAMES, has weighed in on THE HALO EFFECT, the new project featuring five former IN FLAMES members — Jesper Strömblad (guitar),Daniel Svensson (drums),Peter Iwers (bass),Niclas Engelin (guitar) and Mikael Stanne (vocals). Asked by GoetiaMedia.com if he has listened to the debut album from THE HALO EFFECT, which came out last year, Fridén said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "No, I have not listened to that album, and from what I hear — someone told me it sounds more like [Mikael's longtime band] DARK TRANQUILLITY… No, I haven't listened to the album."

He continued: "People ask me all the time [about THE HALO EFFECT], but it doesn't affect us and the decisions that we make and the music that we do. I mean, there have been more bands in the past with ex-IN FLAMES members.

"I think people make it too big of a thing. We don't worry about that stuff. We have enough to deal with our own.

"If I was them, it must be tiring after a while just to keep hearing about IN FLAMES all the time," Anders added. "'Cause they are on their own part, they are on their own journey, and they need to find their own identity. I wouldn't be happy if I was being called ex-IN FLAMES all the time. No, they're two different things, in a way. And me and Mikael have very different voices too, so it's just… Yeah, it's a different style, a different thing."

Earlier in the month, Anders's IN FLAMES bandmate, guitarist Björn Gelotte told El Cuartel Del Metal that he hasn't thought too much about comparisons between THE HALO EFFECT and IN FLAMES. "These are extremely good musicians, all of 'em, and they all have been part of IN FLAMES as members — as touring members or as recording members — and they, for different reasons, chose not to tour, basically, or be part of this anymore," he said. "And if they found a way back to music, they are really good. The music I haven't really heard that much, but I know what they're all capable of. So this is obviously not gonna be bad in any way. And I haven't really thought about it in any other way."

Björn continued: "I think it's a great opportunity, maybe sort of a second chance for these guys, to do it in a way that fits their life now. And timing-wise, they get to do it in a pace that they wanna do it. So I think it's only positive, obviously. And I think the world's probably a better place with more music in it. And these guys know what they're doing."

Last July, Fridén was asked by Chaoszine if he had a chance to catch THE HALO EFFECT when they played at Sweden Rock Festival alongside IN FLAMES a month earlier. Anders said: "They played the day after [IN FLAMES played], and we were already gone by that time. We played on Friday and they were playing on a Saturday."

Fridén went on to say that he hasn't "really paid attention" to THE HALO EFFECT and added that he doesn't care about a supposed rivalry between the two bands. "People can do whatever they want," he said. "There have been former members of IN FLAMES that played in other bands. Why would this be any different?

"I think you — not you personally, but media, they want it to be something [more than that]. But they do their thing.

"Honestly, I haven't listened, but from what I hear, it sounds more like DARK TRANQUILLITY than IN FLAMES," Anders said, referencing the fact that Stanne has been a member of DARK TRANQUILLITY since that band's inception more than three decades ago. "But it's fine. I don't care. They are allowed to do music, and as long as they are happy doing whatever they do, then that's fine. It's never gonna change us and what we do. It's just one band out of many.

"Good luck. I don't have anything else to say," Anders added. "I know you want me to say more. But that's the way it is."

THE HALO EFFECT released its debut album, "Days Of The Lost", last August via Nuclear Blast.

Asked in an interview with "The Back Lounge" podcast about some fans' perception that THE HALO EFFECT was formed primarily with the intention of "sticking it" to IN FLAMES, Iwers said: "No, no, no. It couldn't be further from the truth. Somebody said it to me perfectly… When you get that question, well, it's like talking about your ex-wife. You had it, it was great at the time, but then you moved on. So THE HALO EFFECT started out of love for music — not at all to spite anybody or to create some rivalry; nothing like that at all. And it needs to be said, and it probably will be said a bunch of times. The love for music and the love for each other is a hundred percent what it's all about."

Peter went on to say that forming a band with the intention of competing with someone else "would be totally the wrong reason" to do it. "Everything I do I base upon how I feel," he explained. "I try to do everything with a good vibe and everything that makes me feel good, feel great. And that's what it's all about with everything that I do. So if I would ever start something to piss somebody else off, then it wouldn't make me feel good, and I couldn't keep on doing it. It's real simple in my world, but I understand how people think that and how some people would like to think that. But there's no rivalry. IN FLAMES, I was a member for 20 years. And it is what it is. It's a great band and they always will be."

THE HALO EFFECT made its live debut in June 2022 at the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden.

Eight months ago, Iwers was asked in an interview with Australia's "Scars And Guitars" podcast if he would agree that "Days Of The Lost" is, in some ways, a "spiritual successor" to "Reroute To Remain", IN FLAMES' sixth album, which came out in 2022. Peter said: "Ooh, interesting. I haven't really thought about it. When you make music, like we do, you tend not to overthink stuff — you just go in and you write music and kind of know that what comes out will sound a certain way because of the style that we are playing and how we are playing and performing our music. So I haven't really thought about it, but maybe — maybe. It was definitely nothing intentional. We just went in. We had a bunch of ideas and we came out with a bunch of songs that happen to sound a certain way. But none of us really overthought it and it was never meant to 'it's gonna sound like this' or 'it's gonna sound like that.' We just [went], 'Let's write this music and see what happens.' And because of, like I said, how we're playing, it will sound a certain way."

Added Daniel: "A lot of people like to analyze music, and, of course, it sounds Gothenburg metal-ish because we all are from that genre and we are some of the people that kind of created it. So, of course, it will sound Gothenburg metal-ish, IN FLAMES-ish. And then which era, I don't know. And as Peter said, we don't really think about how it should sound. This is how we sound today, and with our legacy this is inevitable, that we sound as we do."

Continued Peter: "Obviously, people like to do a lot of comparing between us… It's a difficult topic to discuss because none of us have — even though we've all been in IN FLAMES at some point, none of us have really thought about this as what you're saying. But then a lot of people that we speak to say it. So it's a little hard to take in, as we've been very thorough in just writing music. But I'd say it's a little flattering to hear it."

Svensson, who joined IN FLAMES in 1998, announced in 2015 that he was leaving the group to focus on his family life.

A member of IN FLAMES since 1997, Iwers issued a statement in November 2016 saying that he was exiting the band "to pursue other endeavors."

A founding member of IN FLAMES, Strömblad quit the band in February 2010 in order to continue receiving treatment for his alcohol addiction.

Engelin has been sitting out IN FLAMES' tour dates for the four years but has never officially confirmed his departure from the band. Engelin's replacement for IN FLAMES' live shows since then has been former MEGADETH and current ACT OF DEFIANCE guitarist Chris Broderick.

Shortly after leaving IN FLAMES, Iwers joined CYHRA, the band featuring vocalist Jake E (ex-AMARANTHE) and Strömblad. Iwers announced his departure from that band in May 2018.

Да, голоса разные. Миха поёт и ревёт, а ты прискуливаешь по-пидорски ;)

какой бука

Всегда забавляют эти пафосные цитаты про бывших а-ля "да мне неинтересно, не слушал, бла-бла-бла") Готов поспорить, что слушал и не раз, вот и бесится, что сам до такого уровня уже не дотягивает

ZzergRusher, ну, кстати, нет. Вполне допускаю, активные музыканты такого уровня редко слушают новинки, следят за ними. Они же сами постоянно находятся в этом ремесле, в этом звуке. Он, скорее, в свободное время что-то совершенно далекое от метала слушает, если вообще что-то слушает. На фестах каких если встретятся, то можт послушает мужиков стоя за кулисами, тогда и будет о чем говорить. У них обычно так это происходит.

Exceptional, В целом, правильная мысль, но тут случай особый. Да и в ларёк за диском сейчас бежать не надо.

Nepalcev, хз, я музыкой не занимаюсь, но даже мне в лом иной раз какие-то новинки слушать. Не выгораживаю Фридена, но просто тут доёб действительно беспочвенный.

Как раз весьма вероятно, что не слушал. Но тогда это слабейшая позиция ревнивой сучки.
Мог бы за друзей юности и порадоваться, да и чисто из любопытства, раз часто спрашивают.

Ответа на этот вопрос у Фридена, как и у любого другого участника группы, может быть 3:
1) Слушал, не понравилось = создать образ завистливого мудака, даже если ответ искренен. Возможно с некоторыми участниками HO действительно есть хорошие отношения, портить их ни к чему.
2) Слушал, понравилось = заинтересовать людей ознакомиться с творчество HO, чревато переходом части паствы к ним, невыгодно
3) Не слушал - нейтральный, короткий и наиболее беспроблемный ответ.

Вашингтон Ирвинг, >Не слушал - нейтральный, короткий и наиболее беспроблемный ответ.
Ожидания/реальность. На деле все вот пишут что он пиздобол, ахах.

ElectricRetard, Ну да, да только говнометания в случае другого ответа будет еще больше.
