Acclaimed Icelandic rock band SÓLSTAFIR have kicked off their European tour. The tour sees the band traveling across Europe with label-mates ÁRSTÍÐIR before concluding on December 18 in Stockholm. Additional support comes from MYRKUR, and a full list of confirmed tour dates can be found below.

SÓLSTAFIR are touring in support of their new album, ‘Berdreyminn’.  The album, produced by Birgir Birgirsson (SIGUR RÓS, ALCEST) and Jaime Gomez-Arellano (GHOST, PARADISE LOST, ULVER), is lauded as “a compelling journey that offers ’80’s-style synths, chuggy rock riffing, Pink Floyd-y prog overtones, sweeping Fields of the Nephilim guitars, haunting orchestral arrangements and occasional metallic crunch” (Decibel Magazine) and is available across multiple formats at the Season of Mist E-Shop.

Berdreyminn is streaming here.

SÓLSTAFIR have released a new video for the track “Hula”. The surreal new video, filmed in the haunting Hill of Crosses of Lithuania, is streaming now at the official Season of Mist YouTube channel.

The video for “Hula” was recently featured on Lithuanian TV alongside an interview with front-man Aðalbjörn Tryggvason, and can be found here.
