 | | Description: | The Hallas Saga - Live At Cirkus / Double LP version. On their 2015 self-titled debut EP, Hällas lay the foundation of the saga bearing the same name as the protagonist crusader as well as the band themselves, which later grew into a trilogy composed of the two last songs on the aforementioned EP and the two following albums Excerpts from a Future Past and Conundrum. To celebrate the completion of the trilogy the band decided to do a one-off show in front of a seated audience at Cirkus, a classic venue in Stockholm. Due to worldwide restrictions the show had to be replanned and postponed several times until it finally happened on April 10th 2022. After more than two years on hiatus and with the exception of a minor festival gig the year before, this was the band's first performance during that whole period, and it was by far the longest set to date in the band's entire career. All first three releases of the band were to be performed from back-to-back divided into two acts. Act I consisted of Hällas and Excerpts from a Future Past while Conundrum and two songs from their newly released album Isle of Wisdom were performed in Act II. For the first time people were able to experience these new songs live. Some of the older songs such as "Insomnia" and "Tale of a Tyrant" had not been performed for several years. "Strider" and "Blinded by the Emerald Mist" had never even been played live before. So Hällas fans from all over the world attending the show were in for an unforgettable evening. With this record you get a slice of that pie in the comfort of your own living room. So please have a seat and enjoy this time capsule, as it is a very good representation of how this band sounded live back then.CD with iron-on transfer print. Include an iron-on print and the vinyl version includes a 70 x 50 cm poster.

one-off show in front of a seated audience at Cirkus, a classic venue in Stockholm."The Hällas Saga - Live at Cirkus" on CD captures the Swedish adventure rock band Hällas at a particularly atmospheric moment on stage. Recorded at the historic Cirkus venue in Stockholm, this live album presents the band's characteristic blend of 70s-inspired hard rock, progressive arrangements and a strong narrative flair that feels like a fantasy novel set to music. Warm analog-sounding guitars, melodic bass lines and soaring vocal lines create an immersive, almost cinematic atmosphere, while the dynamic live sound preserves the energy of the concert without sacrificing clarity. Listeners can expect extended instrumental passages, tight interplay between the musicians and a carefully built setlist that draws the audience deeper and deeper into the overarching "Hällas saga". This CD is aimed at fans of retro-flavoured rock, but also at listeners who appreciate conceptually coherent albums with a strong storytelling component and a distinctive, mystical mood.
Hällas have made a name for themselves on the international rock and metal underground scene with their unique mix of proto-metal, progressive rock and spacey, adventurous atmospheres. The band stands out through its consistent thematic universe: songs and albums often revolve around interconnected characters and stories, giving the music a clear narrative backbone. With their earlier studio releases and intense touring activity, Hällas have attracted a loyal fanbase and received critical acclaim in the rock press for their authentic 70s sound that still feels fresh and individual rather than purely nostalgic. Their live shows are frequently praised for tight musicianship and a captivating, almost theatrical presentation, making a recording like "The Hällas Saga - Live at Cirkus" a key release for all who want to experience this band in their most immediate and emotional form.
The CD format underlines the album's classic orientation: a physical edition that invites you to listen from start to finish, ideally with the full concert atmosphere unfolding in sequence. The production focuses on organic sound and dynamic range rather than over-compression, so that quiet, atmospheric passages and powerful climaxes can fully unfold. As a live document, this release also serves as an excellent entry point for new listeners who wish to discover Hällas via an authentic concert experience rather than a purely polished studio sound.
