Legendary Icelanders Sólstafir kick off the touring cycle for their 8th full length studio album, released via Century Media Records later this year. Sólstafir are no strangers to the music world with their 20+ years of performing across the Globe as they consistently amaze audiences with their hearts on their sleeves from the first note and leave it all out there when they leave the stage. With a full catalog of truly exceptional timeless hits to perform, as well as some much-anticipated new music, the atmospheric Icelandic rock n´roll sound that is uniquely Sólstafir always delivers to those who bear witness to their epic sets that take you on a journey through the ice and snow, fire and lava and
breathtaking soundscapes of their homeland.
Special guests on this tour, are none other than Finland’s own Oranssi Pazuzu, to support their forthcoming album to be
released via Nuclear Blast Records, also later this year. No strangers to the absolute extreme avantgarde, this tour will also
serve as the beginning of the highly anticipated latest edition to their impressive catalog of music. Crossing multiple
genres, Oranssi Pazuzu leave the listener wondering what the hell just happened as it is impossible not to be entranced by
everything happening on stage, summoning feelings of dystopian uneasiness with intense satisfaction.

Hamferð from the Faroe Islands will open the evening with their haunting tales of doom that take the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions, song after song. 6 years after their last release, this will be their first tour in support of their latest gem, ´Men Guðs hond er sterk´, out March 22nd on metal Blade Records, which is getting rave reviews from journalists and fans alike who have been anxiously awaiting new music from this rarely seen band.
The unique part of this package is that each of these bands sing in their native languages making it a true treat for the spectator who is most likely not fluent in all 3 languages. It offers a chance to truly immerse oneself into the music and the performance while gaining your own inner perspective to the possibilities of each song.
