Biography

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Halo of Flies was a noise rock band from Minneapolis. Named after an Alice Cooper song, Halo of Flies was formed in 1986 by Tom Hazelmeyer, John Anglim and Tim Mac. Over the next 5 years they released a series of 7 inch singles and mini LP’s starting with a limited edition, hand numbered single called “Rubber Room”. These singles were released on Hazelmeyer’s label Amphetamine Reptile Records and were later compiled on a CD (Insect Music for Insect Minds) in 1991. Sales of Halo of Flies records was assisted by a manufacturing/distribution deal with the popular Minnesota label Twin Tone records. Influenced by early punks bands MC5 and The Stooges the band had a loud raw sound that was heavily guitar influenced garage rock. Halo of Flies stopped recording in the early 1990’s but Hazelmeyer kept Amphetamine Reptile Records in business for 20 years by releasing music by Boss Hog, Helmet, The Melvins, Cows, God Bullies, Helios Creed and Unsane.

2) Halo of Flies is a British post-industrial project formed in October 2004 by an artist and musician using the alias ‘Quietus’. The first demo, ‘Fertile Forests of the Imagination’ was released in extremely limited form on tape, CD-R and on the internet in May 2005.

    I'm a crypto-fascist.

    I just don't get the point of naming your band after a popular song + without noticing that there already exists one with the same name. (My logic is that some more unique name could possibly simplify getting recognition out here and stuff...)

    I think the important point to be made is that Halo of Flies has NOTHING to do with cryptofascism.

    No, I like them both too. Why do people always get worked up over bands sharing pages anyway?

    Um...yeah, sorry, a simple Google search would reveal there's a band with a long history already named Halo of Flies. Why don't you just name your band Led Zeppelin?

    You need to change your name. I bet you don't even have a badge, 'officer'.

    that other halo of flies needs to change their name and not associate themselves with the tom hazelmeyer band.

    Saw Halo of Flies back in 92 or 91 or something. With Surgery, Tar, God Bullies and Helmet. Yup, here in the UK. Superb.
