A Finnish funeral doom/black metal trio with ties to fellow Scandinavian gloomcasters <a href="spotify:artist:2UOVgpgiNTC6KK0vSC77aD">Amorphis</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7IxOJnsT8vXhTTzb6nlPOO">Trees of Eternity</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0ulKlNlo0iPx5ZS6VMTHWQ">Swallow the Sun</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:74aLweE8FHHf4yN5TWv1GM">HIM</a>, Hallatar was founded by guitarist Juha Raivio after the death of his partner and <a href="spotify:artist:7IxOJnsT8vXhTTzb6nlPOO">Trees of Eternity</a> bandmate Aleah Stanbridge, who passed away in 2016 after battling cancer. Shortly after forming, Raivio, along with vocalist Tomi Joutsen (<a href="spotify:artist:2UOVgpgiNTC6KK0vSC77aD">Amorphis</a>) and ex-<a href="spotify:artist:74aLweE8FHHf4yN5TWv1GM">HIM</a> drummer Gas Lipstick, were picked up by Finnish indie <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Svart+Records%22">Svart Records</a>, and began laying down tracks for what would be their debut LP under the new moniker -- the project is considered an extension of <a href="spotify:artist:7IxOJnsT8vXhTTzb6nlPOO">Trees of Eternity</a>. The resulting No Stars Upon the Bridge, which is based on the lyrics and poems of Aleah Stanbridge,, was released in December 2017. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
