The Canadian band's sound is said to be a heady mix of the Stooges, New York Dolls-inspired sleaze-rock and the young, loud and snotty vibe of the Dead Boys. The Black Halos' fourth album, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">We Are Not Alone</span>, will be released on June 10th, 2008 by <a href="http://www.acetate.com/">Acetate Records</a>.<br /><br />Produced by Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden, the Melvins) – a well-known hand behind the board who knows a little bit about HEAVY music – <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">We Are Not Alone</span> features a dozen new red-hot songs that are guaranteed to kick up a few sparks. Over the past eight years, the Black Halos have been hitting the road hard, touring with folks like Social Distortion, Danzig and the Offspring, to name a few. The band has seen its music used in video games and on TV, so the new album can only further increase the audience for this rocking young band.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(Click on the CD cover to buy <span style="font-weight: bold;">We Are Not Alone </span>from Amazon.com)</span></span>Rev.
