Strap On Halo follow the U.S. gothic/death rock tradition, inspired mostly by iconic bands like Christian Death, Faith And The Muse and the whole American ‘Batcave’ heritage. Being active for almost a decade, S.O.H. are considered an original band in the genre and representative of their generation’s frustration at the highest level.
The band have announced that their upcoming EP ‘Altar Of Interim’ will be out on 5th August, unveiling ‘Perish’ as well in their Bandcamp page. ‘Perish’ is a gem typical of the band’s style; a mid-tempo death rock song drowned in flangers and reverbs with the expected Batcave statement in the lyrics too. Pre-ordering the EP will instantly get you ‘Perish’ and the rest of it the moment it is released. For more info you can visit their web pages. I am amazed at that sound. American death rock rules. Cheers!
