Finnish doom metal group Hallatar issued debut full-length studio album No Stars Upon The Bridge<\/em> on October 13th, 2017 through Svart Records.<\/p>\n

The outing is based on the lyrics and poems of Aleah Starbridge, the late partner of guitarist, bassist and keyboardist Juha Raivio. Using said lyrics and poems, Raivio wrote the music for No Stars Upon The Bridge<\/em> in the space of a week.<\/p>\n

Raivio commented: \u201cWhat we recorded was a raw moment in time honouring the memory, lyrics, and poems of Aleah Starbridge with all its pain, beauty and darkness. There are no stars left upon the bridge to light the way anymore, but the music will always be a dim light, even in the darkest of the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guesting on the track \u2018My Mistake\u2019 is Draconian vocalist Heike Langhans, while Starbridge herself is featured on the song \u2018Dreams Burn Down\u2019.<\/p>\n
