SÓLSTAFIR “Berdreyminn” /2LP/

The sixth full-length studio album by cult Icelandic Post Metal band.
Sólstafir are not like any other band, and their sixth album underscores this statement.
As its title "a dreamer of forthcoming events" aptly describes, the four Icelanders have taken their already impressive evolution one step further. The band has continued to amalgamate haunting melodies, Psychedelic phases, as well as strong undercurrents of Classic Rock and Hard Rock with echoes of their Metal past.
Yet Sólstafir's focus is not on style but pure emotion. "Berdreyminn" is eclectic by a conscious choice to make feelings audible and transform taste as well as texture to sound. Genre borders are not broken, but simply ignored. Musical influences are gathered from a wide range of sources, re-arranged, and woven into new patterns.
Melancholy, longing, anger, joy, pleasure, pain, and other emotions are fuelling & fulling this album.

The seventh full-length studio album by cult Icelandic Post Metal band.
Music will always be inspired by the environment in which it is created. With its incredible array of highly diverse landscapes ranging from white glaciers via volcanic bizarreness, moss-green bubble-fields, deep fjords, and frost-cracked mountains to black beaches, Iceland has shaped a host of astonishingly original in Sólstafir.
More than ever, "Endless Twilight Of Codependent Love" highlights the contrasting influences that have inspired the band over the years. Whether you’re listening to the Black Metal infused “Dionysus”, “Her Fall From Grace”, the gracious song “Til Modar” or a straightforward masterpiece “Akkeri”, the Icelanders have mastered all these elements and blended it seamlessly into one record.
Sólstafir music penetrates the mind, body, and soul. One does not need to speak their Icelandic tongue to understand the spectrum of raw emotion evoked by every song. "Endless Twilight Of Codependent Love" further solidifies the Icelandic Rock giants’ place as masters of their craft, delivering their signature elegance and unbridled passion upon which they've built their career. While a clear evolution, Sólstafir also pays homage to their Metallic roots. Much like the vast expanse of their homeland, the band once again embodies the ever-turning wheel of the four seasons with their shifting light and darkness.
Metal Hammer named "Endless Twilight Of Codependent Love" the 34th best Metal album of 2020.
CD comes with 20-page booklet, housed in nice digipak.
