Burn Halo

James Hart's new band Burn Halo

Burn Halo
Former 18 Visions frontman, James Hart is back in full force with a new band and a self titled disc..Burn Halo. This time around it isn't hardcore like his last band, but yet more straightforward hard rock. Slightly commerical, but yet full of ol' school 80's vibes to it. According to their own myspace page their sound is "awesomeness". After spending October and November of 2007 in the studio {working with musicians such as former Nixons singer Zac Maloy, Synyster Gates of Avenged Sevenfold, Nickelback drummer Daniel Adair and former Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney} Island Records decided to not release the effort. Leaving Burn Halo's manager Bret Bair to form his own label Rawkhead Rekords via Warner Music Group simply for the purpose to release the self titled disc. Hart decided to seek out other players to become a band as opposed to going out as a solo act. Add Aaron Boheler {bass}, Joey Cunha {lead guitar}, Allen Wheeler {rhythm guitar}, and Ryan Folden {drums} and we now have BURN HALO. Now the goal is to make their mark on the world, and so far they seem to be succeeding. The song 'Save Me' can also be found on the video game WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009 soundtrack. They are on tour now with Rev Theory and seems they will continue to tour for quite some time hooking up on the Sno Core tour with Saliva and Static X, and even making a stop at the Rock on the Range festival in Ohio this May. Be sure to check them out if you get the chance!!! And don't forget to pick up the self titled disc on March 31.
