Sólstafir release new music video for ‘Dagmál’

Icelandic rock outfit SÓLSTAFIR have released a brand new music video!

The music video for the track, Dagmál, is taken from the band’s latest record Ótta. Speaking about the music video, the band comments, “The album cycle of Ótta is coming to a close with a third and final video for the song, Dagmál. The live footage for this clip was shot over the course of 18 months of heavy touring. The video features our newest band member, Hallgrímur ‘Grimsi’ Hallgrímsson, who started filling in behind the kit in April 2015.”

Alongside the release of the new music video, the band has also announced that they have re-signed with their current label, Season of Mist, and have given an update into their upcoming seventh studio record. Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Adalbjörn “Addi” Tryggvason says, “we are back here at Sundlaugin for the third time to record our seventh album. We feel right at home and after being locked up in songwriting mode for two months, it is a one of a kind feeling hearing the demos gaining life. We have fourteen songs recorded, including one cover version, but at the moment it is too early to tell what will end up on the album. The new album will definitely sound like SÓLSTAFIR and as always, there will be surprises too.”

The upcoming album will be produced by Birgir Birgirsson (SIGUR RÓS, ALCEST) who also was responsible for Ótta. Alongside Birgir, Jaime Gomez Arellano (GHOST, PARADISE LOST, ULVER) has come to Iceland, bringing his unique style and experience into the production as a new element.
