Conundrum

by Hällas

supported by

heavymetalina an amazing LP, every single song soulful, straight to the Heart. Hällas are fantastic live!!! Favorite track: Tear of a Traitor.

Count Snackula I pull my canvas jacket, its collar like an albatross spread, over my skin-tight Star Wars t-shirt as I slide across the hood of the gremlin and haul open its ponderous door.

My friends, in their skin-tight Star Wars t-shirts, pile three deep into the back seat as I put pedal to metal.

The blue heavens split with a crack of cosmic lightning and a flash of alien sunshine. The gremlin rises skyward as the opening beats of "Beyond Night and Day" pound down from space.

We're off, never to return! Favorite track: Carry On.

gensogrips Man, Excerpts is a hard album to top. Here, Hällas have opted for a more mature songwriting style, less driven by guitars and in the process, some of the spontaneous youthful energy of the debut has disappeared. The result is still a pretty nice album, though. Favorite track: Tear of a Traitor.

about

"Two years after the release of their highly esteemed album, Exerpts From A Future Past, Swedish Adventure Rock quintet HÄLLAS sprinkle some magic dust with Conundrum, the final installment of their mysterious trilogy.
Dark retro rock with a dash of mystery successfully invites its listeners for a cosmic ride through a parallel world. Somewhere between the open spaces of hidden soundscapes and straight-up 70’s rock riffs, the sonic maze of Conundrum draws you out of the everyday life. HÄLLAS evokes a bizarre world that reveals a magnificent reincarnation of progressive art rock, psychedelic and folk in its most authentic way.
The opening track “Ascencion” beguiles with rising atmospheric synth spheres and leads its listener directly to the clutches of “Beyond Night And Day”. Strong 70’s rock vibes merging with psychedelic sounds simultaneously reflects the soundscape of the track and Conundrum itself. Heavy rock riffs enhanced with synthesizer melodies and carefully refined progressive licks define “Tear Of A Traitor”. Followed by the hymn “Carry On”, these overwhelming songs truly highlight the album.
Once you start listening, Conundrum floods your senses, ingests your mind and draws you deep into a psychedelic sonic adventure rock labyrinth from which you cannot escape. "

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
