Like so many bands these days, we had to wait a bit longer for the vinyl delivery of their latest album. While the CD and digital release of „Summergloom“ was already in early October 2021, the vinyl release was delayed to February 4, 2022 due to raw material delivery problems. The vinyl version is now available in D/AT/CH via retailers and for the rest of the world it can be ordered from our Bandcamp store.
For the belated release, we also spend a new video clip. The light-footed indie rock track „Wanderlust“, which has already been described by numerous fans and media representatives as their personal highlight of the album, has been accompanied by a video shot on Ibiza, which shows Sascha on a partly surreal trip that lives up to the album title „Summergloom“. Enjoy!
The time has finally come. After we had to wait since last summer (the pressing plant couldn’t keep the delivery time), the „Summergloom“ LPs have arrived now. The pre-orders have been shipped in the meantime and you can order the vinyl edition of „Summergloom“ in our Winter Solitude shop and our Bandcamp store. From February 04, 2022 the vinyl version will be available in German-speaking countries also via retailers (from other countries it’s best to order via Bandcamp). By the way, on this date we will also release a video clip for the song „Wanderlust“.
So 8 weeks is the maximum time a band can be in the Deutsche Alternative Charts (DAC) and we reached that maximum with our new album „Summergloom“. We are still at #6 and are very thankful 🙂
still @ #8 this week 🙂
#9 🙂
Already the 4th week, and again #4. We are happy. At this point, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us! 🥰
this week #4 🥰

Was haben wir uns letzte Woche über Platz 9 in den Deutschen Alternative Charts (DAC) gefreut – und nun das. Unser neues Album „Summergloom“ ist diese Woche auf Platz 3 gestiegen. Da sind wir baff!
In der aktuellen Ausgabe des MusiX Magazins findet Ihr auch einen Beitrag über The Halo Trees.
Zitat daraus: „Neben den warmen Vocals macht die intensive Indie-Instrumentierung die Scheibe so speziell, film-noir-cineastisch und irgendwie sphärisch.“
Das Magazin liegt an 2.500 Kartenvorverkaufsstellen und flächendeckend in allen Media-Markt-Filialen aus. Wer es einfacher haben möchte, kann das Mag auch online als E-Paper lesen.
Sehr zu empfehlen ist die aktuelle Ausgabe des Classic Rock Magazins, und das nicht nur, weil ein Interview, Rezensionen und CD-Track von einer Band, deren Beitrag Ihr just in diesem Moment lest, darin zu finden ist 
Gibt’s am Kiosk und im gut sortierten Zeitschriftenhandel in Deutschland!
Neues Feature bei laut.de … Sascha beantwortet 5 Fragen wie z.B. „Was sollte sich deiner Meinung nach in der Rock/Metal-Community zum Besseren verändern?“ oder „Bitte empfiehl ein Buch, das man unbedingt gelesen haben sollte“…
Our new album „Summergloom“ made it to #9 at Deutsche Alternative Charts. Yeah 🙂
It’s finally out: our new album „Summergloom“. Available as cd, download and stream. Also exclusively only at Bandcamp and our own Winter Solitude shop as fanpackage with cd, shirt and lanyard.
Vinyl release is unfortunately delayed due to problems with the printing due to a shortage of raw materials. We hope for a vinyl release still in 2021 and keep you updated here.
All links to Bandcamp, Spotify, Amazon etc. are here at a glance:
Unfortunately, there were delays in the „Summergloom“ vinyl production due to a shortage of raw materials. We hope for a delivery still in 2021. We are really sorry and will announce the new release date for vinyl here as soon as we can predict it and we are already waiting impatiently ourselves.

You can pre-order „Summergloom“ at our Bandcamp page. Ships at October 8th 2021.
Two years after the debut album “Antennas To The Sky” we will release our second record, “Summergloom”, on October 8th, 2021. As a first foretaste today we release the first single „Leave No Fear“ including an epic video clip that was recorded at the North Sea. The wide, lonely beaches almost look like a surrealistic lunar landscape, which underlines the escapist content.
The single is now available on all streaming and download portals. The album can be pre-ordered, in addition to CD and download, also as gatefold vinyl and – exclusively in the Winter Solitude shop – as fan packages with shirts and lanyards.
Here you can see the clip:
In the last few months, despite the three non-album single releases (“Song Of Compassion”, “Nothing More To Worry About” and, most recently, the Portishead cover “Sour Times”) we have been somewhat withdrawn. But there was a good reason for that, because we worked hard on our new record “Summergloom”. We are proud to announce that it will see the light of day on October 8, 2021 via our own label Winter Solitude Productions.
A lot has also happened behind the scenes. Bassist Serdar Uludag and violinist Kathrin Bierhalter unfortunately left us for private reasons after the recordings for “Summergloom”. However, Kathrin will stay with The Halo Trees for studio recordings in the future. Bassist Maik Antrack complements the remaining duo Sascha Blach (vocals, guitar, synths) and Stefan Helwig (drums) at live shows in the future. With “Summergloom” you can experience a significant further development, as we have made our sound much more interesting with many details such as more progressive and electronic elements – at least that’s what we think. The album will be available for pre-order in about 2 weeks with the release of the first single. We’re also working on a vinyl release. There will be four singles and videos in advance of the release. Stay tuned!
