Finnish musician Juha Raivio (Swallow The Sun, Trees Of Eternity, Hallatar) has posted some news about his upcoming projects future plans. And that will include singer Aleah's solo album. She passed away last year. Hallatar's upcoming debut album also includes lyrics and poems written by the late Aleah Starbridge, who was also Juha Raivio's partner.

He says via Facebook: "Hi all. Yesterday I got every last small detail ready with the Hallatar album with mastering and with all the magical and beautiful album booklet art's by Fursy Teyssier. This album is going to be breathtakingly beautiful with special Vinyl and CD editions having real velvet covers and all art drawn and dedicated to Aleah. Thank you Svart Records. Thank you my dear friends Tomi (Amorphis) and Gas Lipstick (ex-HIM) for doing this album with me, and thank you Jaani Peuhu for recording and mixing it. Thank you Heike Langhans for your magical voice and presence on this album. It is now out of my hands to the world and it feels empty and fulfilled at the same time.

"If all goes well my hope is now to play some Swallow The Sun gigs for rest of the year and after breathing in for a second or two to continue with Aleah's solo album for the 2018 release. And if the North Star shines bright enough I will pick up the guitar and compose more music too. Even if you don't hear much of me I want to thank you all for standing by me. Take care of yourself and the one beside you."
