Solstafir

Metal isn't my go-to music, so I won't dwell on it too much. But Sólstafir is undoubtedly one of the flagships of this very prolific genre in Iceland (one of the Danish legacies, no doubt).

Formed in 1995, the band only released their first album in 2002. Released by a Danish label, they became known by participating in the Roskilde metal festival and are now one of the headliners of the genre, well beyond Iceland.

To the untrained ear, his music has the advantage of solid melodies and fairly sophisticated arrangements, which leave room for the piano or strings.
