Halovox releases new single ‘Crashing Lights’ featuring The Black Star Experiment
Halovox
American electronic artist Halovox released a new single titled “Crashing Lights” on April 18, 2025, in collaboration with The Black Star Experiment. The track is available via Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms. The release follows Halovox’s earlier works including the 2023 EP “Scarlet Moon”.
“Crashing Lights” merges Halovox’s synthpop and industrial sound with the atmospheric and melodic stylings of The Black Star Experiment. The song originated from a concept developed during sessions for Halovox’s second album “Everybody Lies”, according to frontman Frank Freda. The original song, titled “Blood On The Windshield”, remained incomplete until Freda heard an instrumental by The Black Star Experiment that rekindled the idea.
Freda explained, “When I heard the instrumental ‘Crashing Lights’ by The Black Star Experiment, I immediately fell in love with its dreamy atmosphere. I remembered the lyrics from ‘Blood On The Windshield’ and thought they might fit.” The collaboration led to a newly arranged version, with final mixing by The Black Star Experiment. Cover art was provided by Tenderlash.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
