Sólstafir - Í Blóði Og Anda

Review by Marc Deveraux

Í Blóði Og Anda, the third album by Icelandic band Sólstafir, is a masterpiece of atmospheric post-metal. Released in 2002, the album showcases the band's unique blend of black metal, post-rock, and traditional Icelandic folk music, creating a haunting and immersive listening experience.

The album opens with the epic "Undir Jökli", a slow-building track that gradually unfolds into a massive wall of sound, with crushing riffs, soaring vocals, and haunting folk melodies. The rest of the album is equally impressive, exploring a wide range of moods and textures, from the mournful "Þín Orð" to the hypnotic "Árstíðir Dauðans".

What makes Í Blóði Og Anda stand out is the band's ability to seamlessly blend different genres and sounds, creating a cohesive and emotionally powerful album. The production is also top-notch, with a raw and organic sound that perfectly captures the band's live energy.
