Burn Halo blew us away last year when we caught them at Aftershock Festival and has had us in anticipation of their new music. They have just announced that they have signed a worldwide deal with Entertainment One Music with plans to release their new LP, Wolves of War this summer. Frontman James Hart comments, “It was important for us to find the right team, With Scott Givens and his staff at eOne, we believe we have found that team. We’re all very excited about the future of Burn Halo.” In case you haven’t seen it, check out their lyric video for their title track here: James comments about the song, “The song ‘Wolves of War’ is a statement of aggression and angst towards all that have never given us a chance.
