Swedish psychedelic adventure rock quintet HÄLLAS have been turning heads in the scene for years, and are now on the eve of the release of their new album, Conundrum, available digitally today and in CD/vinyl format on March 20 via Napalm Records. Plus, as an exclusive vinyl special for fans, the album will not only be available in black Gatefold, but also in strictly limited green Gatefold vinyl

Conundrum is the final installment of the band’s mysterious trilogy of albums, inviting listeners on a cosmic ride through a parallel world! The band flexes their sonic muscles amid massive soundscapes and spacey 70’s rock riffs, channeling influences ranging from Pink Floyd and The Devils Blood.

HÄLLAS evokes a bizarre, intriguing world that reincarnates elements of progressive art rock, psychedelic prog and folk, but in an entirely authentic way. HÄLLAS invites listeners into a cosmic adventure accompanied by music forged on tales of sorcery and courage.

In celebration of the upcoming release of Conundrum, the band has released a dreamlike music video for their first single “Tear of a Traitor”. Tommy Alexandersson’s outrageous, slightly gritty voice draws you directly into a mystic atmosphere beyond the real world while flowing Instrumentals and retro fantasy bend the mind.

To the depth of broken souls
Send the watcher of righteousness
Lacerated and alone
In the absence of empathy
Widespread wilderness, you roar
At the venom inside of you
Could this emptiness be cured
Could regret make peace with debt

On the trail of a tyrant
Remained fervent traces of sparks
Don't let vengeance deceive you
A teat of a traitor will fall

Grieve the losses, mourn the past
Let them rest in infinity
By eternal night her eyes
Will surrender to clarity
Flames still torturing her soul
Hear the choir of martyrs sing
Let the fire out once more
Put an end to the tyranny

On the trail of a tyrant
Remain fervent traces of sparks
Don't let vengeance deceive you
The tear of a traitor will fall

For sins one must suffer
You're doomed to pay with your life
There is no escape as the judge stares deep in your eyes
In the moment of truth search your soul for the last missing part
Will the tormenter lay down the axe if you offer your heart

Forgiveness
The virtue of Mercy
The pain that's polluting you memories
Will turn into yearning

A treacherous tear for them all
(The last missing piece of the crystal)
The tear of a traitor will fall
