official website Spotify

Icelandic band SÓLSTAFIR, whose name means "rays of sunlight penetrating through the clouds", has evolved from its black metal roots into a unique blend of post-rock, doom metal and atmospheric rock. Their music reflects the rugged beauty of the Icelandic landscape and the emotional depth of human existence. SÓLSTAFIR are masters of creating soundscapes that oscillate between raw intensity and fragile melancholy.

The new album "Hin helga kvöl" (Holy Suffering) represents the pinnacle of their work to date - a monumental work full of melancholy, introspection and epic dynamics. Recorded at the isolated Flóki Studios in remote Skagafjörður, the album draws inspiration from the loneliness and raw beauty of the Icelandic wilderness. Here, SÓLSTAFIR combine their signature sprawling compositions with denser, shorter songs that retain their characteristic emotional charge.

With "Hin helga kvöl", SÓLSTAFIR confirm their place among the most distinctive bands of atmospheric metal. The album is a celebration of pain and redemption, a journey from darkness to light, where tears mix with hope. In November 2024, their music will once again ring out and draw the listener into their hypnotic world.
