SÓLSTAFIR Share Visualizer for New Song ‘Vor ás’, New Album Out Now

Icelandic cowboys SÓLSTAFIR are now celebrating the release of their new full-length, Hin Helga Kvöl,’ which out out worldwide today, November 8, via Century Media Records! The band is now celebrating this release with a visualizer for the new single, “Vor ás,” which can be found at THIS LOCATION.

The visualizer is based on the artwork of the album. The stunning eloquence in cover artist Rowan E Cassidy’s charcoal shadows perfectly illustrates the substrate ravines and breath-taking altitudes that can be found within ‘Hin helga kvöl.’

When asked to describe the music on ‘Hin helga kvöl,’ lead vocalist and guitarist Aðalbjörn Tryggvason simply replies with one word: “Alone.”

Alone is a perfectly succinct word for SÓLSTAFIR’s ardently unfiltered music where we discover ourselves, with a new found reverence for solitary reflection. This is “Hin helga kvöl”, the holy struggle for overcoming adversity in life.

Meaning “crepuscular rays” in Icelandic, the name “SÓLSTAFIR” refers to those piercing rays of sunlight that break through dark clouds at dusk. This imagery captures the essence of their upcoming album, a beacon of light and hope shining through the heaviest of times. As the band confronts their inner demons, shrugging off the trappings of rock and roll decadence, their music resonates with the universal struggle and triumph over hardship. ‘Hin helga kvöl’ is the holy war that we all face within. The album can be ordered HERE.
