After exploring their heavy side with the title track of their upcoming album, ‘Hin helga kvöl’ (The Holy Suffering), Iceland’s SÓLSTAFIR are releasing the record’s second single ‘Hún andar’ with a video that was produced by Nico for Pulse Films.

Watch the music video to ‘Hún andar’ here.

On the new single, guitarist and vocalist Aðalbjörn Tryggvason comments:
“’Hún andar’, meaning ‘She breaths’ is an obituary to a living person whom I love very much, but the mind is gone due to mental illness and drug abuse.”

The pre-order for Hin helga kvöl, via Century Media, begins this Friday 9th August, here, and is due for release 8th November.

SÓLSTAFIR – ‘Hún Andar’

Earlier SÓLSTAFIR released ‘Hin helga kvöl‘, whose video is showing the band performing in a
graveyard.

Hin helga kvöl runs the gamut between SÓLSTAFIR’s black metal roots and their penchant for tuneful, anthemic rock, all while maintaining sprawling instrumentation where it counts most. It is Aðalbjörn Tryggvason‘s voice that brings ‘Hin helga kvöl’s message, tortured vitality and dramatic earnestness to the forefront. The signature orchestration of SÓLSTAFIR’s innate riff, tone and rhythm balances lush production and stripped-back vigor, with exhilarating time signature changes. At the heart of Hin helga kvöl are the heartfelt and electrifying personal performances of the band that highlight SÓLSTAFIR’s ability to merge genres seamlessly into something unheard of. The stunning eloquence in cover artist Rowan E Cassidy’s charcoal shadows perfectly illustrates the substrate ravines and breath-taking altitudes that Hin helga kvöl‘s songs submit us to.
