Sólstafir

Post by Ruiner »

Recently got into a band called Sólstafir. I dig them a lot and their videos are pretty amazing as well.

It's kind of like a .............. metal Sigur Ros. Musically but also cause they're also from Iceland and the lyrics are Icelantic as well.

Anyways, they put out an album recently, they're touring the states with Pallbearer(!), and this is their newest video.

Just thought i'd share!

Pretty fucking awesome. Very Pink Floyd. I don't understand it but it sounds meaningful.

Saw them at Damnation two days ago. Seriously great band live. One of the best performances of the festival, especially considering it's primarily death metal there.
