Revered Icelandic band Sólstafir are streaming “Bláfjall”, the closer from their upcoming new album Berdreyminn.
Talking about the new track, Sólstafir vocalist/guitarist Aðalbjörn Tryggvason commented: “The meaning of ‘Bláfjall’ is blue – as in a black, black mountain, and it revolves around man’s battle against his own mind and those inner demons that often lead to self-destruction and harming one’s loved ones. I have myself struggled with alcoholism and it remains a never-ending battle and continuously walking further up a mountain in foggy darkness. But this is also about hope, because there is a way out, but you have to grab that rope when it comes swinging towards you and hold on to it as tight as you can. Everybody can end up lost on the black mountain, or ‘Bláfjall’ in this case.”
Berdreyminn, which is so-named because it roughly translates to a “dreamer of forthcoming events”, will be released worldwide on May 26th. The LP was produced by Birgir Birgirsson (Sigur Rós, Alcest) and Jaime Gomez-Arellano (Ghost, Paradise Lost). The band is due to tour Europe in support of the album.
