The beach-season is here!

From the activity on Solstafir's Facebook page over the couple of months, I'm sure I wasn't the only one waiting for this to come out. And when it did two days ago (Jan 17th), I for one thing, forgot to post it here. I'm not that much into music videos, but this one's a real treat. The imagery and landscapes of Iceland is breathtaking and the mood absolutely heart-wrenching. A must see for anyone. ANYONE!

Black sands

Great news about the upcoming Sólstafir album, Svartir Sandar, that I was hyped about. The whole album is streamable from Inferno magazines website. The extremely positive reviews had my expectations way up, but I was not let down. After two thorough listens, I can say that it is definite album-of-the-year material that will open up more with every playthrough. Can't wait to get my hands on the actual release. I'm still slightly torn between a limited double LP and the deluxe pack with a digipack CD.

Pillars of light

Sólstafir... a certain sign of autumn. Their new album, Svartir Sandir is coming out within a month and I'm quite excited. A few reviews (which mistakenly claim it to be their third full length, while it actually is their fourth) have spoken well of it. I've pre-ordered it, along with a t-shirt, shot glasses and ice-cube molds.

One song from the new album was available on soundcloud... Find the Fjara video later in my blog ;)

This is from their second full lenght, Masterpiece of Bitterness:
