Hällas Announce US/Canada Fall Tour
Swedish heavy progressive rockers Hällas will tour major markets in the US along the East Coast and up into Canada for dates in Montreal and Toronto this November. They make the journey supporting 2022’s Isle of Wisdom, released through Napalm Records as the follow-up to 2020’s Conundrum. It’s not the band’s first time in the States, as they did the West Coast in March in the company of Danava, but their organ-laced melodic retro-futurism comes east (or in their case, still west) with Freeways supporting, having also toured Europe last Fall after the album’s release last Spring.
They’re an act I haven’t covered as much as I’d like to, so when I get the chance on something like tour dates the algorithm generously put in front of my eyes, I’m glad to do it. I still fondly recall seeing them in 2018 at Høstsabbat (review here) in Oslo, and as I’ll catch them this coming Saturday at Freak Valley as well, this seemed like an excuse to dive into Isle of Wisdom, and as I suspected I wouldn’t, I don’t regret it. Patient and proggy but not lacking movement, they will be a fitting complement to the cool autumn air and actually-dark-at-nighttime of early November on the Eastern Seaboard, and as they’ll go as far inland as Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Chicago, the tour covers a pretty sizable chunk of ground too.
Dates follow from social media:
