SÓLSTAFIR refers to those piercing rays of sunlight that break through dark clouds at dusk. This imagery perfectly captures the essence of their upcoming album, “Hin helga kvöl”, a beacon of light and hope shining through the heaviest of times. As the band confronts their inner demons, shrugging off the trappings of Rock and Roll decadence, their music resonates with the universal struggle and triumph over hardship. “Hin helga kvöl” is the holy war that we all face within.
Their latest single and video,”Blakkrakki” (meaning Black Dog) deals with a similar subject: the black dog as a metaphor that has its origin in myth and folklore. Likewise, the new video for “Blakkrakki” literally transfers the meaning of those rays of sunlight breaking through twilight into a wild ride.
Sólstafirs upcoming album “Hin Helga Kvol” (meaning The Holy Suffering) can be preordered and will be released on November 8th 2024. After the release, SÓLSTAFIR will embark on the “Nordic Descent Tour 2024” that features a very special line-up with ORANSSI PAZUZU while the opening slot with be split between HAMFERD (13/11 – 24/11) and HELGA (26/11 – 9/12).
