Sólstafir - Köld (2009)

 

The third album from this band from Iceland.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The band returned again after a four years long album break with this seventy minutes long album.

The music is still post-metal.

There is a lot of post-rock in their music. The band still retains some black metal influences. 

The music has some cool Icelandic vocals. The vocalist is running out of talent and voice on the more heavy parts and the vocals become very dire. The vocals on the most heavy bits is indeed what is letting this album down.

There are some good pastoral pieces here too and they are the best pieces of music on this album. Some of the music is also bold and epic.

The overall quality is decent enough. This album is not on par with their second album but it is still well worth checking out.
