Based out of Sweden, Hallas plays what they refer to as "Adventure Rock." With an ongoing theme of sci-fi adventure and pure escapism, one listen to songs like "Carry On", "Star Rider," and "Ellusion's Gate" and you will have an "A-HA!" moment for sure.

Hallas just put out their second album Isle of Wisdom and has garnered critical acclaim from writers and music fans worldwide. With only two albums under their belt, it's already clear that Hallas is going to be on a long journey and thankfully so.

I had the chance to talk to Hallas vocalist/bassist Tommy Alexandersson and it was a great time. We talked about the new album, the return to live music in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, and what a pain in the ass it was for them to make their epic b-rate movie-like video for "Ellusion's Gate."

Hallas is one of the most important bands of the century that you don't know about... YET.
