"Svartir sandar" by Sólstafir

Sólstafir:"Svartir sandar", (from the album "Svartir sandar", 2011):

Ég og þú
og svartir sandar.
Uppþurrin ást
í óbyggðum andar.

Leiðin heim
í hlykkjum liggur.
Iskalt regn
og kolniðamyrkur.

Feigan dreymir dauða sinn,
kulin hjörtu villast.
Minningin um hver við vorum,
vonin dauð og ástin þorrin.

Svartir sandar,
óbyggðar andar.

(lyrics: Sólstafir)

(I suppose, you´re quite familiar with the icelandic language....ha ha....oh, you´re NOT?!....ha ha (again :-))....But in fact it doesn´t really matter, whether you are or not, because Sólstafir´s latest album, last year´s "Svartir sandar" is a lot more than "just" its lyrics! It´s a black metal-album simply not out of this world :-) The music is so freezing cold, that you hardly can´t believe it, though totally unlike anything "Black" released from Norway or Sweden ever....(at least as far as I know :-)).

I´ve spent a good part of this summer in this....erm....cold atmosphere, and I really enjoy the whole "Svartir sandar"-album, especially when it comes to the awesome titel-track: Songwriting at its very best!

Next great heavy metal-song with lyrics will be on monday august 20 or tuesday august 21, and this time it´s about american death metal....See you :-)

Kind regards
