Doom

Karges, dunkles Land.
Gänzlich still, weit, unbekannt.
Sollst so manch Legende schüren,
doch heut mir nur die Kutsche führen.

Durch wilde, kahle Klüfte -
hinein ins Ödeland. (still, weit, unbekannt)
Dort herrschen eisge Lüfte,
wie nie zuvor gekannt. (tief drinn im Ödeland)

Wohin ich blick - nur Eis und Schnee...
gespenstge Kiefer, dunkler See...
schauderhaftes schließt mich ein -
kein Weg, kein Steg, kein Lampenschein!

Der Pferde Kräfte schwinden
in einer Nebelwand,
gepeitscht von Geisterwinden,
der Schlaf mich übermannt -
tief drin im Ödeland.

Empyrium - Heimwärts

Wo schmerzlich Zeit musst heftig wogen,
da thronet ein erforner Bogen.
Stille bereitet sich endlich an,
müden Wandrern zart zu nahn.
Kein Lichtstrahl trifft die Schatten hier hinein,
ins blau-kristallne Kämmerlein.

SÓLSTAFIR are different. Their unique blend of metal with beautiful melodies, psychedelic moments and a strong undercurrent of classic / hard rock comes as varied and at times appealingly bizarre as the landscapes of their native Iceland. Their fifth full-length "Ótta" is the logical continuation of the musical course this four-piece adopted on the highly acclaimed forerunner "Svartir Sandar" (2011). Expect the unexpected, such as seduction by subtle strings or a hypnotic banjo. This album needs to be heard again and again to peel back layers of details, each different and yet always revealing the same: great songs – all of them.

SÓLSTAFIR - Ótta

I looked myself in the eyes
Perhaps a glance of misperception
the weary twilight in my soul
I long for comforting words

I'm scared but I try to smile
repentant for all my sins
Will I ever be the same again?

I'll wait to face the prison of my life
The remnant of old and painful memories
Imperceptible to come, yet so harmful to all
I taste love and hate
A blindfold for a clear insight

Incomprehensible delusions and denial
I agonize my self-hatred
I reminisce the endless afterbirth
I fall on my knees
And surrender to my demise

I conceal myself right now
Just in case your darker half should try to get out
Is it all woth while?
'Cause near the end we all long to die...

Thurisaz - A Glance of Misperception

LYRICS :
I do me wrong
And I do it again
My sorrow rain
My feeling pain
See me through, walk me through

I long
I still long
I long
I long so much away - from me - for me
I long
I still long

Take my lips
Kiss me sweet
Take my feelings
Stop me from sweating fear
My sweet nightmares end

I long
I still long
I long
I long so much away - from me - for me
My sweet nightmare ends.
