After exploring their heavy side with the title track of their upcoming album, “Hin helga kvöl” (The Holy Suffering) Iceland’s Sólstafir are releasing “Hún andar“ with a video that was produced by Nico for Pulse Films.
Aðalbjörn Tryggvason’s (guitar and vocals) comments:
“’Hún andar’, meaning ‘She breaths’ is an obituary to a living person whom I love very much, but the mind is gone due to mental illness and drug abuse.”
The new album “Hin helga kvöl” will ne released on November 8th, 2024 via Century Media Records and runs the gamut between Sólstafir’s Black Metal roots and their penchant for tuneful, anthemic rock, all while maintaining sprawling instrumentation where it counts most. It is Aðalbjörn Tryggvason’s voice that brings “Hin helga kvöl”’s message, tortured vitality and dramatic earnestness to the forefront. The signature orchestration of Sólstafir’s innate riff, tone and rhythm balances lush production and stripped-back vigor, with exhilarating time signature changes. At the heart of “Hin helga kvöl” are the heartfelt and electrifying personal performances of the band that highlight Sólstafir’s ability to merge genres seamlessly into something unheard of.
