_“Invitingly warm, intense, grungy and rugged, the indie-band Omni of Halos arrives
as a happy burst of noisy alt-rock, based on solid guitar-driven melodies but then
topped with the rich sound of pedal steel!”- _**_Velvet Thunder_**

_“Loud, gritty alt rock”- _**_A Journal Of Music Things_**

_“The explosive, lurching ‘Care Free’, laden with lumbering riffs and, unusually,
pedal steel melodies, is the Gothenburg band’s second single and title track of 
their forthcoming EP.”_– _**Vive Le Rock**_

_“Grungy, punk fuelled indie rock”- _**_A Journal of Musical Things_**

_“Thunderously heavy rock song with a ton of roots in both punk and the heavier 
side of garage rock.”- _**_If It’s Too Loud_**

Dark, guitar-driven alternative rock clashes with unorthodox pedal steel melodies
on **Omni of Halos’** new track **”Empty Shell.”** Mixed by legendary producer and
engineer **John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Kurt Vile)** and featuring an
artwork illustrated by **Viagra Boy’s** frontman **Sebastian Murphy**, ”Empty Shell”
is released as the second single leading up to the Swedish group’s self-titled debut
album. The single is released with a skewed music video recorded in the Swedish 
countryside.

Henrik Hjelt Röstberg from Omni of Halos comments:
_”Empty Shell” started out with
a riff created by our own “Bonham” Markku Mulari. We then drenched it in obscure,
dark guitars. The lyrics are about lack of self-awareness.”_

”Empty Shell” is out now on all streaming platforms together with a music video.
Omni of Halos’ self-titled album will be released on Lövely Records on the 18th 
of November. The album will be available in vinyl and digital formats.

**Omni of Halos Bio:** 
Invitingly warm yet intense and rugged, Omni of Halos arrives
as a hypnotizing explosion of noisy pop music derived from skewed, guitar-driven
melodies. It is this honest blaze of creativity where Omni of Halos thrives and 
provides shelter to the misunderstood.

Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Omni of Halos is a five-piece band with lo-fi tendencies
but lives in heavy alternative noise rock soundscapes. It’s beauty and darkness 
combined.

The band formed in late 2020, arising from various early Swedish indie and punk 
rock bands, and shortly after their formation, they entered Welfare Sounds Studio
with Per Stålberg (Division of Laura Lee, Pablo Matisse, etc.). Equipped with a 
ton of riffs and a desire to explore what the studio surroundings would provide 
them as a recording unit, they came away from this first session having captured
experimental and vibrant music that inspired them to continue down the same path.
In quick succession, Omni of Halos found their sound, navigated by blasting guitars
interwoven with distinct, unorthodox pedal steel guitar melodies. A sound that producer
and engineer John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Kurt Vile) further enhanced
when he took on the opportunity to put the final touches on the recordings by mixing
10 tracks at his studio in Raleigh, North Carolina.

“We just wanted to play massive indie rock with no limitations or influences,” says
singer, guitarist and songwriter Henrik Hjelt Röstberg.

The meeting between John Agnello and Omni of Halos sparked what then became a friendship
as the synergy between him and the band was something that extended beyond these
first mixes. After working on the 10 tracks they continued working on more new music
and that would then lead to Agnello crossing the pond, setting up in Sweden with
the band to continue working. The recordings continued at the legendary Swedish 
studio Svenska Grammofonstudion and the result of that is will soon be released 
as the debut album.

“We aim to be a hard-working band, stay on the road and accomplish memorable live
performances where our music is at its best.”, says Henrik Hjelt Röstberg.
