Description:

Icelandic black metal/post-metal band Solstafir's new album "Hin helga kvol" (CD Box Set)Solstafir's new album "Hin helga kvol" is inspired by Iceland's breathtaking landscape and explores the emotion and beauty of life. The new album "Hin helga kvol" (CD Box Set) is inspired by the breathtaking landscape of Iceland and explores the emotion and beauty of life. In addition, the band has taken on a crusade against man's inner demons, creating a work that transcends the decadence of rock and roll and resonates with the triumph of universal struggles and hardships. Solstafir means "crepuscular rays" in Icelandic, referring to the piercing rays of sunlight that break through the dark clouds at dusk. This image captures the essence of "Hin helga kvol," a beacon of light and hope that shines through the most difficult times.Hin helga kvol, which means "holy suffering," was recorded at Floki Studios in remote Skagafjordur, Iceland, away from Sundlaugin Studio, where the band has recorded for many years. Like the changing landscape of the region, this album contains a wide variety of music. The songs blend Solstarphere's signature melancholic sound with the band's previous elements of progressive metal, post-metal, post-rock, shoegaze, and a wide range of other musical genres that have been absorbed by the band, creating a style that is a unique development of its roots in black metal and an anthemic, majestic rock sound. The band's music is a blend of elements from a wide range of musical genres, including progressive metal, post-metal, post-rock, shoegaze, and more.Opening with the euphoric melody of (1) "Hun Andar," the band challenges itself to the utmost level of songwriting with (2) "Hin helga kvol" and (8) "Nu mun ljosi deyja," which combine the band's roots in black metal and orchestration, (5) "Vor as" with its vibrant female chorus, and (9) "Freygatan" with its piano melody that reaches a breakpoint in the middle. The band challenges themselves to raise the level of songwriting to the extreme with songs such as "Freygatan," which reaches a breakpoint in the middle of the song after a piano melody. Trigvason explains, "It always feels like walking into a blacked-out room with paints and starting to paint, and then turning on the lights after a while. One of the things we tried this time was to keep the songs short. It's hard to write good songs that are short, it was a real challenge for the band," he says. This time, too, "Hin helga kvol" is built in the world of ice and snow, fire and lava, a truly Soltafia-like world where the desolate landscape of Iceland can be experienced to the fullest. After the album release on November 8, the band will embark on the "Nordic Descent Tour 2024" with Oranssi Pazuzu and the opening band.◆Luxury box specification, faux leather bracelet, buttons (set of 3), magnetic bottle opener Adalbjorn Tryggvason: Guitar, VoSvavar Austmann: BassHallgrimur Jon Hallgrimsson: Guitar Drums, backing VoSaepor Marius Saeporsson: Guitar
