SÓLSTAFIR are different.
Their unique blend of metal with beautiful melodies, psychedelic moments and a strong undercurrent of classic / hard rock comes as varied and at times appealingly bizarre as the landscapes of their native Iceland.
Their fifth full-length ‘Ótta’ is the logical continuation of the musical course this four-piece adopted on the highly acclaimed forerunner ‘Svartir Sandar’ (2011).
Expect the unexpected, such as seduction by subtle strings or a hypnotic banjo.
This album needs to be heard again and again to peel back layers of details, each different and yet always revealing the same: great songs – all of them.

Season of Mist.
