7:38 'till the end of the song: fantastic build up, fantastic minimalistic atmosphere. Just can't get enough of it.

[@DasOhneEnde]

Epic Live IT!

[@oliverjohn5566]

It's definitely moving, very visceral, all the wounds are exposed, vulnerability, all the love that was thrown away, all the love left behind, all the passion remembered, rejection, the desire to continue loving someone who already got over you OR someone who refuses to get back at you even though they want you back also I get all those deep feelings whenever I listen to it (now in my mind.)

[@lastinline095]

Cool band. Great music. Greetings from Chechnya

[@nukleerbaslklkedi9427]

Hi, my ancestors are from Chechnya but I live Turkey. Greetings to you and your beautiful music taste♥

With each listening to this title, my mind is freed and my body shivers ..... I have been listening to you for years and sharing your sounds. But this title remains for me the best ..... Long live you

[@lukahorvat8613]

"Holy cow, a storm inside KEX to rival inside the one outside today in Reykjavik" :D Indeed, indeed

[@na5tea]

that ending is so hypnotic. i really dig them

[@HellenicLiveChaos]

this is just a perfection.... GREAT ARTISTS!

[@veronicazagaria179]

...seeing them live for the first time last year in Bologna was such an intense experience ... I love the uniqueness of the feelings they can evoke with their special and beautiful music...

[@tobias3023]

I was completely blown away when seeing them as support of Amorphis last fall (twice) as I didn't know them before. That were definitely two of the most powerful and most emotional performances I've ever witnessed! Very cool

[@pakoakwa7032]

OMG What a suuuuuper playing and voice !!!!! Amazing!!!!! The best wishes from Poland

[@Truckdrivernorge]

[@mnordavind]

Betweeen the actual Sólstafir and Katla, i stay with Katla, Guðmundur you are the man

[@lassetikka5000]

Summer -22 driving around Iceland chose not to see the band in their homeground @Lemmy as I had already experienced them before in Finland. Instead I went to see a just formed Icelandic afro band (!) just a few blocks away. Wasn´t bad but when I walked back past Lemmy the outro of this echoed through the streets of Reykjavik and left me gutted. So, you can´t always win can you :)

[@jkoslicki]

bloody great band and I wish them all the best

[@michaelkoller633]

Amazing..

[@paulduffy1102]

Man just found this wtf too good 🎉🎉🎉

[@gothicrain888]

These guys are great at subtlety.

[@ivanferencuk2387]

amazing

[@TheKuzcooo]

Wonderful

[@reefheadculler]

Solstafir....stripped down like this reveals there best traits! Looked over due to their outcast, stepchild like differences from what people expect. KEXP always brings out the best in bands & individuals shine! Taking these guys out of the black metal crowed is what they need.......hope they are smart enough to see that!

[@chrislambert5041]

Breathtaking !

[@panzerstein746]

love it.. LOVE IT!

[@tomeeedee]

When he starts calling the band off at around 7:10 it is so cool.

[@joao2sales]

Greetings from Portugal...

[@oswaldosanchez3353]

Long live Solstafir

Dont care ...that drummer is the BEST

[@orion2250]

I want to sit on a leather chair looking over a fjord with a dram or two of Yamazaki 18 listening to this.my equally sophisticated friends mill about eating,drinking and waiting on the coming storm

[@BorderlineWarriorPrincess]

Music for my soul

[@votan1979]

Awesome band! I found them about a hour ago and I can't stop listening!

[@BorderlineWarriorPrincess]

They really are awesome, tbh I thought they would have more fans, but they're still not very well known! glad you like :D

[@votan1979]

Thanks! :-)

[@BorderlineWarriorPrincess]

No prob :)

[@Pohvizd]

Rosie Marie You are a beautiful woman!!!!!

Amazing !!!!!!!

[@romanschneider9585]

[@the_terrorizer]

Fucking beautiful voice, tone, drums, everything. But it was honestly the voice that blew me away. Incredible. I just wish nothing happened and the drummer was still there. Oh well

[@karolhelsing3405]

Esto es de otro mundo.

[@merluza8787]

tremendo tema!!!!!!!!!!! me encantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@geoffreysherman5025]

Amazing

[@AvarayrOfficial]

They shouldn't have treated their drummer like that, no matter the problems. He gives a different energy to the band.

[@Epitaph995]

+AvarayrOfficial could you please explain what really happened in a nutshell? :SS

[@AvarayrOfficial]

Epitaph They kicked him out of the band (which he was a founder of) without any discussions and have now stopped paying him loyalties from the merchandise (90% of which he designed). They also kicked him out of the Facebook page (which he designed and operated). Read more from Oli here: solstafirofficial.wordpress.com/

[@Epitaph995]

+AvarayrOfficial thanks so much. this sounds so sick, why would they do something like that to him? especially when he was friends with the other founders...

[@tomkristianson1547]

+AvarayrOfficial Aðalbjörn is also a founder of the band, so we can't say that they kicked out the founder of the band.

[@AvarayrOfficial]

Tom Kristianson I am aware of that. I never did say that he was the only founder. :)

[@stefangk89]

Only 11:33? :-p This is an amazing song! Greetings from greece!

[@luisafernanda9947]

Temota, que energia tan hermosa :D

[@eugeniograjales]

Love it

[@rafaelschvanz9021]

This. Is. Epic...

[@katherinesantander8819]

Simplemente perfecto !!

[@oscareduardopereyra8873]

[@cakeofthepan2233]

the drummer is great

[@a92alireza]

Well played well played

[@wraana]

Pure viking post rock !

[@realcarlspartacus]

The singer reminds me Macaulay Culkin (Home alone grewn) in his appearance :D ... Excellent song and expression tought .

[@nikkyjackson]

+Spartacus' Skull and Bones Reminds me of Ragnar from Vikings

[@MrTenArrows]

мегамузыка.. люблю вас, чертей)

[@anneneves1772]

Gummi rocks!!!

[@avecco]

Nice drums

[@mattasashi7295]

Que obra de arte

[@chrislambert5041]

Wow !

[@Litawor___]

Well done for the climate! If the band convinced themselves to the 432Hz natural costume, such songs would sound incredibly clean to humans. These sounds resemble mantras and can put you in a trance. Take a chance someday please. Greetings from Poland.

[@cakeofthepan2233]

the drummer is awesome

[@alexandros-markovits]

He isn't in the band anymore :( i really liked his passion too...

[@aaebzz]

Yeah, he was Sólstafir's friendly face.

[@jkoslicki]

so what do you think of the new one

[@MikeDel76]

Yeah!

[@PrimeiroPorCento]

Já virei fã ^^

[@Juni1013]

Good stuff

[@igorsilva-ee4xh]

haill from brazil!! mas q banda foda!!!

[@OneSupreme08]

From Wikipedia : Before the beginning of the second leg of their European tour in January 2015, the band posted a message on Facebook saying that Pálmason would not be joining them due to "personal reasons". Guðmundur replied immediately via the band's Twitter account, explaining that he'd been "stonewalled by ex-bandmates" and "thrown out of his life's work". In the beginning of June 2015, Guðmundur offered an explanation of the events that occurred 5 months prior. In an extensive statement, he revealed the details of his "forced" departure and condemned the actions of the rest of the band, in particular Aðalbjörn Tryggvason. (vocal, guitar)

[@Asthfghl]

So basically, a typical scenario where a bunch of guys start doing the music they love, then some of them start believing too much in their own stardom, and decide to throw it all into the bin. And then behave like complete cunts about it whenever questioned about it (like we've seen on this comment section). Good for them.

[@pakoakwa7032]

Grats for drums !!!!

[@mama431]

Oh my...

[@andreademora6939]

XD..!!!!!!! IMPECABLE TEMA!!!!!
