Icelandic metal cowboys SÓLSTAFIR have announced their first European tour of 2013. The band will embark on a journey through eleven countries with LONG DISTANCE CALLING next month. Support will come from AUDREY HORNE on the first eight shows, and from SAHG for the rest of the tour. The trek starts on March 1st, in Münster, Germany and runs through March 23rd, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Please find a full listing of confirmed dates below.
SÓLSTAFIR performed a KEXP Radio Session as part of the Iceland Airwaves Festival last November. The critically-acclaimed quartet’s 3 song set, live at the KEXP Hostel, is available for viewing on KEXP’s official YouTube channel. This showcase sees the band playing select tracks off of 2011’s ‘Svartir Sandar’ and 2009’s ‘Köld’.
SÓLSTAFIR are touring in support of their last album, ‘Svartir Sandar’ (released by Season of Mist in 2011). The full-length album can be streamed here, and a music video for the single „Fjara” can be found here.
‘Svartir Sandar’ is available on a double CD and a double LP (with bonus track and download card).
