Solstafir - Ótta (2014)

 

The fifth album from this band from Iceland.

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

This one hour long album is the follow up album their 2011 album Svartir Sandar.

The cover art-work above says it all about the music....

The music is barren, windswept post-metal with a lot of post-rock influences.

The Icelandic and pretty raw vocals is adding a lot of wilderness to the music. Music which is hard, heavy and a bit dissonant.

The music is also mainly songs based. 

The sound and the ambience is the main positive aspects with this album. Not everything here is good but the overall package still makes this a good album.
