Hin helga kv\u00f6l blends S\u00d3LSTAFIR’s signature melancholic sound with elements from their past, creating an album that is both reflective and innovative, not only in scope but in song-craft. On their next level of pushing their song-writing to the limit, Tryggvason elaborates:
\n“It always feels like you walk into a blackened room with paint and start painting, then after a while you turn the lights on. One thing we did try this time around was to make songs shorter. It’s somewhat harder to write good short songs, so that was a real challenge.”<\/p>\n
Hin helga kv\u00f6l runs the gamut between S\u00d3LSTAFIR\u2019s Black Metal roots and their penchant for tuneful, anthemic rock, all while maintaining sprawling instrumentation where it counts most. From guests, Borgar Magnason\u2019s double bass soundscapes on “Freyg\u00e1tan” to Jens Hanson\u2019s saxophone and haunting female vocals by Erna Hr\u00f6nn \u00d3lafsd\u00f3ttir on “Vor \u00e1s”, S\u00d3LSTAFIR expertly twists and contorts through a range of styles and eclectic elements, but all woven within their Icelandic tundra expanse. It is Tryggvason’s voice that brings Hin helga kv\u00f6l\u2019s message, tortured vitality and dramatic earnestness to the forefront. The signature orchestration of S\u00d3LSTAFIR\u2019s innate riff, tone and rhythm balances lush production and stripped-back vigor, with exhilarating time signature changes. At the heart of Hin helga kv\u00f6l are the heartfelt and electrifying personal performances of the band that highlight S\u00d3LSTAFIR\u2019s ability to merge genres seamlessly into something unheard of.<\/p>\n
