![]() ![]() ![]() Luckily not that boring proggresion from the sign of Dream Theater with thousand of guitar solos masturbation, but from this more atmospherical bands. Solstafir's riffs are clearly inspired by post-rock, classic rock acts and proggresion. Production - despite of mentioned differences - is still enough sultry and first of all psychedelic, with "cold sound" and many echeos of guitar. A bit strange, yet such tracks as "Stormfari" seems to confirm my words.īut the base is here still the same. From what I hear it concerns mostly the second CD. The music is this time stronger inspired by a classic rock (Led Zeppelin, for example) than their previous creativeness. The music is diverse - and it's very important, due to the fact that this album lasts for almost 80 minutes! That's really long, but fortunetely Solstafir knows how to rivet listener's attention. They lost some of their power, but from the other side they become more hypnotic now, which is also an interresting thing. Thanks to that the riffs are not as heavy as they used to be in the past. It can be still very sultry, but there are also moments when it become more spacious. The first thing that comes to ear is the production - it's much lighter. It is also a bit different than the previous one, "Kold". They are playing a psychedelic/progressive metal (although they started as a viking metal act), and "Svartir Sandar" is their 4th full lenght album. For those who don't know this band - Solstafir is hailing from Iceland. ![]()
