"Halo" is a song by rock band Soil and the first single from their studio album Scars.[3][4] The video is filmed in a rundown house, lit by lamps and sunlight through boarded-up windows.[5] Towards the end of the video, the band can be seen walking on the walls and ceiling, when their instruments begin to break, seemingly through the violence of their performance.[5] "Halo" is listed as the top Soil song on iTunes.[6]
