Heavy Halo’s McKeever states: “The title “Die Cast Down” references the Julius Caesar quote about going into war, past the point of no return, crossing the rubicon. The song is about all the sacrifices you make for your artistic, political, or moral convictions… We were honored to work with the epic Shannon F. from Light Asylum on this track which she absolutely tore up.”

With metallic guitars, frenetic beats, and yearning vocals, Heavy Halo creates electronic-powered rock anthems with links to the likes of NIN and Smashing Pumpkins. Since 2011, Shannon F. and Light Asylum have captured attention with their dark synth-pop, earning comparisons to Grace Jones and Depeche Mode. With DFA Records recently reissuing their self-titled debut album, Light Asylum is back in action, performing at this year’s Cruel World and Cold Waves festivals. With Heavy Halo and Light Asylum’s “Die Cast Down” collab now streaming, the two bands have hit the road together, touring the East Coast through the end of July.
