Description:



Sólstafir was formed in 1995 by guitarist/singer Ađalbjörn Tryggvason, bassist Halldór Einarsson, and drummer Guđmundur Óli Pálmason.The band's name is the Icelandic word for sun beams (crepuscular rays). They soon recorded the demos Í Norđri and Til Valhallar. Halldór then left the band, and Ađalbjörn and Guđmundur recorded a promo tape as a duo in 1997.

During this period, Svavar Austmann joined as the new bassist and the band began recording their debut full-length album, Í Blóđi og Anda. The album was not released until 2002 due to various recording delays and label disputes.Shortly after that album was completed, second guitarist Sćţór Maríus Sćţórsson joined the band and made his debut on the 2002 demo Black Death. The band began playing live in Iceland in 2002.

After shopping around a three-track demo of new songs, Sólstafir signed with Spinefarm Records in 2005. Their second album Masterpiece of Bitterness was released by Spinefarm later that year. The album received positive reviews, with Metal Storm stating "the perfect mix of non-Metal elements with metal ones makes it a necessary album for any Metalhead looking for something that breaks the mold of pre-established genres."

Their third album Köld was recorded in Sweden and released in 2009. Reviewers compared the band's sound to Enslaved and Neurosis, among others, while noting their unique post-black metal sound. The album was also noted for its addition of atmospheric passages. Sólstafir began to tour Europe regularly in 2010 and made their first of many open-air appearances at the Roskilde Festival that year.

Sólstafir's fourth full-length album, Svartir Sandar, was released by Season of Mist in 2011. This album was the band's first chart placement, reaching no. 7 in Iceland and no. 11 in Finland.The song "Fjara " also entered the single charts and reached no. 1 in Iceland. In 2013, "Fjara" remained in Iceland's top 100 songs of 20 years. This album signaled Sólstafir's retreat from black metal and move toward experimental atmospherics of the type practiced by fellow Icelanders Sigur Rós.

Their fifth album Ótta was released by Season of Mist in 2014, and was noted for its additional experimental elements like strings and piano. Three official music videos were released and the band performed Iceland's national television channel, RÚV's Stúdio Á.

In January 2015, the band announced that longtime drummer Guđmundur Óli Pálmason had left the band for "personal reasons". Guđmundur replied immediately via the band's Twitter account, explaining that he'd been "stonewalled by ex-bandmates" and forced out of the band by Ađalbjörn Tryggvason. Guđmundur was replaced by Hallgrímur Jón Hallgrímsson. After his departure from the band Guđmundur formed post metal band Katla.

Sólstafir released their sixth full-length album, Berdreyminn, in May 2017 on Season of Mist.Upon its release Berdreyminn entered international charts, mostly top 50, across Europe.      

Music will always be inspired by the environment in which it is created. With its incredible array of highly diverse landscapes ranging from white glaciers via volcanic bizarreness, moss-green bubble-fields, deep fjords, and frost-cracked mountains to black beaches, Iceland has shaped a host of astonishingly original in SÓLSTAFIR. More than ever, SÓLSTAFIR’s new opus ‘Endless Twilight of Codependent Love’ highlights the contrasting influences that have inspired the band over the years. Whether you’re listening to the black metal infused “Dionysus”, “Her Fall From Grace”, the gracious song “Til Modar” or a straightforward SÓLSTAFIR masterpiece “Akkeri”, the Icelanders have mastered all these elements and blended it seamlessly into one record.
