referencing Svartir Sandar, 2xCD, Album, SOM 247. 4th release since 1994 from powerful Icelandic band is an epic behemoth of atmospheric sludge with a majestically dark, heavy beauty in a place where the tenacity of wild-eyed, crushing metal meets the gripping solace of deep, calming vibrato chord structures. The album exudes power; it builds, rips & roars with the doom-laden grace of an angry fallen angel.

What the sprawling Svartir Sandar (Black Sands) actually sounds like is Robert Smith playing Krautrock in a fjord, or perhaps Kyüss regrouping in Reykjavik and trading their desert rock for, well, lava-field rock - equally drawn-out and groovy, but also grim like an Icelandic sunset in November, plowing ahead on steady, dynamic rhythms that induce a sort of trance laden.

4th release since 1994 from powerful Icelandic band is an epic behemoth of atmospheric sludge with a majestically dark, heavy beauty in a place where the tenacity of wild-eyed, crushing metal meets the gripping solace of deep, calming vibrato chord structures. The album exudes power; it builds, rips & roars with the doom-laden grace of an angry fallen angel. There’s an enveloping, stadium-sized grandeur here that’s both warm and dangerous. This is music that will hold you & rock you (in both senses), then pummel you with the merciless melancholy of post-psychedelic gloom subjugation. Solstafir is a band of grim determination, who sweat when they play and let no obstacle stand in their way. Tempos and rhythms, vehemence and love—all fluctuate with purpose and drive in a haunting manner that will send ghostly shivers up your spine. “Svartir Sandar” (which translates roughly to “Black Sand”) is a work of immense proportion; with a thunderous, rumbling richness and a viciously elegant reach. Something like a mix of the Cure, Thursday, Fields Of the Nephilim, Led Zeppelin, Neurosis, Kyuss, Tiamat.
