Description
"A journey through evocative sounds created by a blend of 70's rock, folk, and psychedelic influences -?Isle Of Wisdom?is the third studio album of the Swedish Adventure Rock stars?H?LLAS.
The collection allows entering a different realm soaked in mystery and retro rock traits, key features of?H?LLAS' imagery between fantasy and sci-fi. It was produced in collaboration with Linn Fijal and Vilma Colling at Riksmixningsverket studio, which has seen music from artists such as Arch Enemy, ABBA and Celine Dion, which gave them the chance to once again use ABBA's unique synthesizers for the production of Isle Of Wisdom.
The album starts with synthy "Birth Into Darkness", with an incredibly cleaver topline from the unique vocals of singer and bassist Tommy Alexandersson. The musical journey continues with the mystical single "Earl's Theme" embellished by choral voices and proceeds with exceptional "Elusion's Gate", a piece that by giving space to the guitar lines of Alexander Moraitis and Marcus Petersson, underlines the overall epic and mysterious atmosphere of the album.
The progressive rock band formed in 2011. By devoting themselves to a fusion of progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal inspired by 1970's bands, H?LLAS created the ""Adventure Rock"" genre.?
The bandname origins from the main character of the stories in their lyrics, a knight in a parallel medieval universe destined to take part in a religious war caused by a tyrannical queen.
Isle Of Wisdom, the successor of success album Conundrum (Top 50 in the Swedish Charts, P3 Guld Award nominee) is set for release on April 8, 2022, before they hit the road on an extensive European tour."
