August 6, 2024, 4 months ago
Iceland's Sólstafir are pleased to reveal that their new full-length, Hin Helga Kvöl, will be released on November 8 via Century Media Records, making it their debut to the label. Meaning "The Holy Torment," the new album will take fans on another deeply sentimental journey.
In celebration, the band is now unveiling the emotional second single from the offering, "Hún andar", along with a music video. The clip was produced by Nico for Pulse Films and can be found below.
Guitarist/vocalist Aðalbjörn Tryggvason comments: “'Hún andar,' meaning ‘She breathes,’ is an obituary to a living person whom I love very much, but the mind is gone due to mental illness and drug abuse.”
Pre-orders for the album will go live at 12 midnight, local time on Friday, August 8 here.
