"Halo" kicked off Scars, Soil's 2001 album, as its first single, and the whole band shares the writing credit. Ryan McCombs sings lead with Adam Zadel chipping in extra vocals, Zadel and Shaun Glass handle the guitars, Tim King plays bass and Tom Schofield drums, and Kevin Shirley mixed it.
The video matches the song's heft: the band plays inside a derelict house, the only light coming from lamps and daylight leaking past boarded-up windows, and by the end they're walking on the walls and ceiling while their instruments start to break, seemingly from the sheer force of the playing. iTunes lists it as the top Soil song.
