i Helvete unveils new single inspired by the art of Hugo Simberg

 

"Halla is a theme album about old times when surviving against nature was a daily life struggle. Halla is a Finnish word and lazily translated means "frost". It is a phenomenon, but in Finnish mythology it is also a fairytale character that destroys the fields with its coldness. All the single and album covers draw inspiration from the works of the Finnish painter Hugo Simberg (1873-1917), whose art also inspired us in our songwriting and composition process.” The band comments.

Finnish melodic black/death metal band i Helvete will release their third album, "Halla", on November 6th, 2026. The self-released album will be available digitally.

"Halla" brings together the atmospheric side of i Helvete with the intensity that has remained central to the band's black metal roots. Across six tracks, the album makes use of a broader range of instruments, with session musicians also contributing to the recordings.

The material itself was completed in 2024, but line-up changes during that year delayed the production process. The finished record now arrives as the band's third full-length.

The album was recorded by i Helvete and mixed and mastered by Jari Prinkkilä.
