The Review:
Stunning art can at many turns be informed by loss. Perhaps it is the vulnerability or universality of such experiences that brings us in as an audience. Maybe it is because the artist's stories mirror our own. Their memories help us grieve. Sometimes they aid us in coming to grips with our own recollections and histories. Hurt is something each one of us experiences. It is thus no secret that music, a unifier in its own right, can encourage us to heal.
Death has informed a number of musical releases in 2017. Bell Witch is most prominent among those bands that have lost members. For acts like Mount Eerie , core performers have seen the departures of loved ones shape the direction of their music. Finland 's Hallatarjoin these tragic ranks. Swallow the Sun and Trees of Eternity principal Juha Raivio launched Hallatarfollowing the death of partner and Swallow the Sun vocalist Aleah Starbridge from cancer last April. "No Stars Upon the Bridge" is the resultant album, which sees Raivio joined by HIM'sGas Lipstick and Tomi Joutsen of Amorphis in a cathartic and revealing nine songs.
