Alwanzatar is, Krizla (Kristoffer Momrak) from Norwegian cult heroes Tusmørke. Alwanzatar musical project creating extraterrestrial world music, with flute, incantations, synthesizers and electronics.

Helsfyr Terminal Ekspress is a collection of psychedelic, gloomy and dreamy songs for synthesizers and flute. Helsfyr Terminal Ekspress refers to a bus service whose route passed the now derelict rehearsal rooms at Ulven, Oslo, where Krizla recorded the first Alwanzatar tapes seven years ago.

Jacob Holm-Lupo states about Helsfyr Terminal Ekspress, «The album explores the more acidic reaches of the classic Teutonic electronic sound, with the added touch of Krizla’s flute and a contemporary production touch.
