The Halo Method Is an American rock supergroup, formed in 2012 in Hollywood, California. It consisted of guitarist Ben Moody (We Are the Fallen, ex-Evanescence), drummer Miles McPherson, vocalist Lukas Rossi (ex-Rock Star Supernova, ex-Daylight Division) and bassist Josh Newell (ex-In This Moment).
Their debut four-track Reset EP was released on May 28, 2013 through ESP Guitars website.
Long time friends, Moody and Buckner, found themselves together at Ben Moodyʼs Hollywood home/studio in Summer 2012. Moody states, “We didnʼt set out to do anything serious. We were really just going to get together and play some covers for fun, but it was evident very quick that there was something special going on. After a few songs, it was obvious that we had something different than weʼve ever done before.”
On September 19, 2012 the first interview with the band was published on Revolver Magazine website. The page also featured the band's debut song, "Beauty Is The Beast".
On November 27 through December 1, 2012 the band debuted live on ShipRocked 2012 alongside such bands as Godsmack, Korn, Five Finger Death Punch, P.O.D., Sevendust, Filter, 10 Years, Fuel, Pop Evil, In This Moment and others. Newell joined the band as bassist before the show and it became permanent.
