Solstafir (exclusive show)..After a few months of rocking together, Sólstafir hit the studio record the "Í Norðri" demo tape in May 1995.
After that an offer came from View Beyond Records to release four of them as a MCD entitled "Til Valhallar" in 1996.
In 1999 Sólstafir made a deal with Ars Metalli Records from Germany and they released the album "Í Blóði og Anda" (also known as "In Blood and Spirit") in 2002 after many delays.
In February 2002, five new songs were recorded, and for the first time Sólstafir recorded as a four piece band. "Black Death: The Demo" hit the streets.
Through the marvels of the internet some of those songs got into the ears of Ketzer Records, and they released three of those songs in co-operation with Neodawn Productions as a 7" EP. "Black Death: The EP" was released in December that year. It´s 500 limited and handnumbered copies sold out in advance.
In 2004 a whole album´s worth of new material was recorded, and three of those songs released as a promo, which led to a deal with Spikefarm Records. All the songs were worked on a bit more and the album made ready for release and in December 2005 Spikefarm are releasing Sólstafirs debut for the label, entitled "Masterpiece of Bitterness".Sólstafir recorded their next album "Köld" in Gothenburg, Sweden in December 2007. Expect "Köld" out in late 2008. Additional pictures & info at www.myspace.com/solstafir.
