Doomed & Stoned about Star Rider:

"It's a fantastic trip that weaves retro progressive rock with an undercurrent of spacey dark wave for a song that was all too short and, hence, has had me playing it in constant rotation."

Hällas drummer Kasper Eriksson told Doomed & Stoned:

"In this tune we follow a knight and his companion on a journey to find a seer who has become too powerful," and he adds: "It's our first song with a proper refrain and it's basically a pop song!"

For their new album the Hällas members shared interest in the great storytelling of early heavy metal and progressive rock bands led to the decision to create a concept album. Using organs, synthesizers, medieval-sounding twin guitars and dynamic drums and bass, their inventive style of songwriting with progressive passages intertwined with a steady foundation of heavy rock followed accordingly - all accompanied by the expressive and wistful vocals of Tommy Alexandersson. Together, these ingredients blend into this timeless, one of a kind album with a story set in the middle ages of an alternative universe, following a seer who possessed forces previously unknown to man. As the rumor of his powers spread, the story proceeds.
