Sólstafir enter the international album charts with ‘Berdreyminn’

Leave a comment

SÓLSTAFIR have entered the album charts in several countries in the first week after ‘Berdreyminn’ was released worldwide on May 26th. It is actually hard to overstate the massive achievement of a band coming from a volcanic island close to the arctic circle in the North Atlantic midway between Europe and America that sings in Icelandic and that has evolved a highly original style of music very much their own. Excluding the multiple high scores in digital charts across all platforms worldwide and focusing on physical charts, these are the album’s current results (with expected top positions from their native Iceland and other countries still missing):

Finland #20 National album charts

France #121 National charts
France #2 Metal charts

Germany #30 National album charts

Sweden #8 Vinyl charts
Sweden #18 Hardrock charts

Switzerland #42 National charts

UK #39 – Top 100 independent album chart
UK #24 – Top 40 rock/metal album chart

Season of Mist congratulates SÓLSTAFIR for their well-deserved success!

Important note: Please do not use archive pictures of SÓLSTAFIR! The line-up has changed since their last album. Please do only publish new band pictures provided at the link below. New material is now available.

Frontman Aðalbjörn Tryggvason commented on behalf of SÓLSTAFIR: “Videos have always been a medium that we are taking seriously. Therefore, we have worked with excellent visual artists like Bowen Staines and Vesa Ranta on previous clips. We are privileged to have been able to enlist the team of Nico Poalillo and Peter Beste to create the imagery for ‘Silfur-Refur’. They have directed and produced a video that beautifully illustrates our song – at least in our minds. We are giving Nico and Peter our heartfelt thanks for their amazing contribution to our musical vision. The video’s meaning is a puzzle, which we are leaving for you to solve as we don’t want to spoil your imagination spinning stories of its own. We sincerely hope that you enjoy ‘Silfur-Refur’ as much as we do.”

THE NEW ROSES UNVEIL FIRST DETAILS ABOUT NEW ALBUM!

Leave a comment

Without any doubt, THE NEW ROSES are one of the most promising and successful hard rock acts the German heavy rock scene has to offer. After their latest rock juggernaut ‘Dead Man’s Voice‘ (2016, Napalm Records) the band played more than 250 shows all over Europe highlights included were their live performances at the UEFA Champions League Festival in Berlin, shows at the Hamburg and Swiss Harley Days and being special guests on tour with acts including ACCEPT, Tremonti, Y&T, Saxon and The Dead Daisies to name just a few.

Now these heavy rockers from Wiesbaden, Germany, return with their third hotly anticipated album titled ‘One More For The Road’ which will be released August 25th on Napalm Records! Delivering phenomenal hearty hymns, with ‘One More For The Road‘ THE NEW ROSES again share the feeling of stepping into endless freedom and the album surely marks the band’s catchiest, emotional and heaviest record to date. Definitively a must-have for every well-assorted record cabinet!

Says the band:
„ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD“ is 100% New Roses, straight in your face Rock’n’Roll, no compromises, based on the experiences of the countless shows we played over the last year, dedicated to our great live audience.
We can’t wait to play it live on our upcoming tour, because these songs were written for a hot stage, a loud crowd and a kick ass Rock’n’Roll Band!!”

VIOLENT WISDOM releases demo-compilation “Dis-Order” via HTH Productions

Leave a comment

HTH Productions is going to release “Dis-Order” – a compilation of demo recordings by Chicago’s thrashers VIOLENT WISDOM. The band provides brutal and straight-in-your-face type of thrash metal which will be praised by every fan of EPIDEMIC (CA), DEMOLITION HAMMER and SOLSTICE. Encyclopedists of metal might know that the band refers to QUICK CHANGE and TYRANT’S REIGN as Larry Dubs Anderson and Chris Nelken used to play in VIOLENT WISDOM.

 

Formed in 1990 by Rich East & Rich Canamar, VIOLENT WISDOM set out to be faster, louder & more brutal than any other band in their region at the time. Adding vocalist NIck Hernandez, bassist Art Hernandez, and drummer Craig Williamson, they soon proved to be a power house on the metal scene in the Midwest of the States. Recording their first demo “Mental Meltdown” set the pace for things to come selling over 500 copies in their region alone. In 1992 the band recorded “Ungentle Frenzy”, staying true to their brutal ways, The short EP sold out in two months. After a couple line-up changes the band recorded a third untitled tape and with poor distribution, members decided to go in different directions musically. 20 years later they are back together and the songs are devastatingly better than they were before. Loud, rude and heavy, the band is currently touring again.

 

Like many underground thrashers the band never made it big time but does it make the music worse? You know the answer. Now HTH Productions are proud to present a compilation called “Dis-Order”. Track-list of the compilation is as follows:

 

Demo 1993

01 – Origin Of Sin

02 – Facts Of The Nation

03 – Among The Massacre

“Ungentle Frenzy” EP 1992

04 – Desolation Solitude

05 – World of Hate 

06 – The Price of Insanity

07 – Time to Die

Mental Meltdown” Demo 1991

08 – Mental Meltdown 

09 – When I Hear You Scream 

10 – Price On Insanity

 

Although the sound quality isn’t great and wavy at times, the songs sound powerful and awesome as they were originally recorded. This is pure underground of the 90’s! Listen to the song “Facts of The Nation” here (https://soundcloud.com/konstantin-chilikin/violent-wisdom-facts-of-the-nation) Pre-order your copy here ( https://hth-productions.bandcamp.com/album/dis-order ).
