Background information über 'Otta'

This mesmerizing journey through Iceland's ancient timekeeping system is nothing short of extraordinary. Sólstafir have crafted something truly special with "Ótta" - an album that demands repeated listens to fully appreciate its intricate layers and emotional depth. The concept itself is brilliant: each track represents a different "Eykt" from the old Icelandic system where the 24-hour day was divided into eight three-hour segments. Starting at midnight with "Lágnætti" (low night) and concluding with "Náttmál" (nighttime), this isn't just an album - it's a temporal meditation that flows like the natural rhythms our ancestors once followed.

What makes this release so compelling is how Sólstafir seamlessly blend their post-metal foundations with atmospheric passages that feel both ancient and timeless. The band's evolution from their black metal roots into this more expansive, cinematic territory pays off magnificently here. Each composition builds and breathes with organic pacing that mirrors the concept's rejection of modern time's relentless march. The production captures every nuance, from whispered vocals to soaring guitar passages that seem to stretch across Iceland's vast landscapes. This is progressive metal at its most thoughtful and emotionally resonant.

For fans of: Agalloch, Alcest, Neurosis, and Cult of Luna
