Sólstafir drops new single “Hin Helga Kvöl!”

Author Hernan Osuna - 17.6.2024

Icelandic post-rockers Sólstafir have unveiled a new song entitled “Hin Helga Kvöl!“, translated as “The Holy Torment!” in English. The track can be found below, along with a music video directed by Karl Ágúst Guðmundsson for Polarama.

It is a song about dying,” stated Sólstafir guitarist and vocalist Aðalbjörn Tryggvason. “It is about the realization that you will die sooner than later and consciously witnessing the end of your own world. It is one’s own personal idea of Ragnarök – or Armageddon. What happens afterwards? Are we reborn or are we simply food for the worms…”

Sólstafir recently announced their signing to Century Media Records. They are no strangers to the music world with their 20+ years of performing across the globe as they consistently amaze audiences with their hearts on their sleeves from the first note.
