We had a fantastic time in Denmark this weekend!


2016 - 04.05

Played two of the best venues we’ve ever played: Posten, Odense and Ishoj, Copenhagen. We’d like to really thank all the wonderful staff who took such great care of us and made us feel more than welcome. True professionals all the way through. We will come back to Denmark in the near future, that’s a promise. And those good reviews keep coming in, here’s one in Nöjesguiden:

4 out of 6:

“Till skillnad från många andra finner jag inte mycket sydstatsrock i Ljusdalsgängets musik. Desto mer blues och folk hittar jag, i ett utförande av skandinaviskt heartland rock-snitt. Det osar en del Tom Petty, fast i en mer sprudlande ton där dessa magiska Thin Lizzy-stämmor rundar av berättelserna. Charlie Granberg sjunger med en sladdrig accent i en tonal korsning av Liam Gallagher och Paul Simon. Det är i bästa fall sådär euforiskt coolt, men det kan också skära sig lite smärtsamt. Men han får fram sin poäng. Hans ord väger tungt. Understanding Gravity är inget större steg framåt, men det är det Hellsingland vi lärt känna.”

FINALLY!


2015 - 12.04

This band can sometimes feel like an old rusty locomotive. It has all kinds of levers, ball-bearings, gadgets and gauges that you have to maintain and oil and treat very gently until being warmed up. But once it’s up and going, it just keeps on accelerating, going faster and faster to the point where it’s hard to stop, no matter how hard you push the breaks. We are now out of the maintenance period and have just started to accelerate. Things are happening fast. A lot of things. Good things! We will of course tell you about all of this in a little while, but some stuff we’re just not allowed to talk about yet.

The most important thing right now is that we think we have made the best album in the bands history.

“Understanding Gravity” will be released on vinyl with gatefold cover, cd and all digital formats. We will give you an exact release date as soon as we have it. Here is the album cover and complete track list:

HELLSINGLAND UNDERGROUND “UNDERSTANDING GRAVITY”
1. EARTH’S GONNA SHAKE
2. AS DREAMS GO BY
3. NO REGRETS
4. DIZZY JONSSON & THE ROVERS
5. YOU SAVED ME
6. HOW LONELY IT MUST BE BEING YOU
7. REINCARNATED THE SAME AS I EVER WAS
8. THE WAR IS OVER
9. SAIL ON MY SEASICK BRETHREN
10. GOLDEN HAZE
11. WHEN THE MUSIC RULED THE WORLD

Dear friends,


2015 - 09.27

A little update (the short version): We are slowly getting there with the mixes. We will probably have the album mixed, mastered and ready in 2 weeks from now. The initial plan, as you all know, was to have the album out in late october. That ain’t gonna happen.

Due to 2 months (at the most) for the vinyl printing (with Evil Will Prevail in 2012 it was only 2 weeks, meaning that EVERYBODY is doing vinyl these days, which is a good thing!) + 2 months for our promotion team to work on it in advance of the release. So even if we would have a finished master by October 1st, it still wouldn’t be coming out until the February 1st of 2016. Now, we ARE still working towards that deadline, but it will probably be later in February.

It sucks, because we just wanna start touring again.

But on the bright side: the album already sounds like the best we have ever done, and this timeline also gives us the time to work on at least two videos before the album comes out. The first one, for the song “Earth’s Gonna Shake” which some of you have heard us playing live this summer, is just about finished. So that will come out as a single (itunes, spotify e.t.c.) and a video in just a couple of weeks!

So, it looks like our show at Bollnäs Kulturhus on Saturday the 24th of October is going to be the only one this year. New songs will be played! See you there.

Peace, Love & Hellsingland
