Last update: October 27th 2011
October 27th 2011. Hereby some news regarding the latest SOL acitivity: SOL played the first ever live gig on Friday the 28th of October 2011 @ Raum Eins, Trøjborg Beboerhus, Aarhus, Denmark. I want to extend my sincere gratitude to Trúa, Andreas, Lotte, Christian, Peter & Mikkel for playing with me, and lastly a huge thanks to Morten for the help. Trúa from Blóðtrú and I are working on a new SOL album called "This Realm is Free and Remains Eternal" which will be released on Cain Records in cooperation with Les Fleurs Du Mal Records. This will be an exciting release indeed. The recording of it however is paused for a moment since I have been busy with the SOL live concert with, amongst others, Trúa. More news will follow. I have talked with Yuriy of Archaic Sound and he is very interested in releasing the forgotten SOL album "Beast of Riddles, Monster of Light". I am currently working on the cover, and will send everything to the label in the end of the month. I have also talked with the SOL live musicians about recording an album after the concert. More news on that as it develops.
June 16th 2011. The newest SOL release "Black Cloud of Becoming" has been released on drowning and golemtapes. (Free download): (Cassette tape): Thanks to Mikkel, Danny, Andreas and Amalie for making this release happen. Last but not least:
June 1st 2011. Because of various stressful escapades I haven't been able to update solarmassacre in a while. Well, here is the latest news regarding SOL: "Offer Thy Flesh To The Worms" is out on Ván Records! I am VERY proud of this release; it is an experiment to create the music of SOL in an acoustic atmosphere (even though there is a tad of electric guitar on one track). I have recorded a new EP-ish album called "Black Cloud of Becoming". It contains three tracks recorded between December 2010 and March 2011. The first track a more ambient/drone piece with an epic instrumental closure. The second track is grim doom madness, and the final track is a somewhat strangely atmospherical doom piece. I am working on various new albums with different people. "Sleep Is A River" is still roaming my mind, but I haven't been able to write anything yet. Time will tell what happens. I am also working on an album called "Will You Carry This Sun". I have only made small sketches and random recordings... but something good will hopefully come out of it. In the end I can say I am fooling around with the idea of playing live.
February 2nd 2011. Finally. I haven't been working on "Sleep Is A River" since my last update. But I have plans on starting again in March. "Offer Thy Flesh To The Worms" is still pending on Ván's website... Hopefully it will be released soon.
December 14th 2010. Hereby follows a little update before the holiday madness. Other great news is that Ván have given the final “yes” to the release of the next Sol album “Offer Thy Flesh To The Worms” - it should be released sometime during January. I am currently working on the next Sol album which is entitled “Sleep Is A River”. I have only recorded the basic takes for the first song, so it is not certain which direction the album will take. I have been playing a lot of church organ and reed organ lately – so perhaps it will be influenced by that. Different people have agreed to help me on this record and to those I owe my thanks. That's all for now!
August 17th 2010.
March 30th 2010 Thus my debut CD release; Let There Be A Massacre has been released on Isar of Grivf and I are now waiting for our split Íss / The Great Plague Imperium The Sol / Blóðtrú split Old Europa Death Chants that was due to be released Trúa of Blóðtrú and I are starting our own label, SÓLVERK, and will be Currently I am working on an album entitled Offer Thy Flesh To The Worms, That's all for now! E.
January 20th 2010 Hereby a little update about what's happening with SOL; The Grívf/Sol split: "Íss/The Great Plague Imperium" will be released on the label Archaic Sound sometime during the February darkness. Isar of Grívf and I are currently working on the cover - and then everything should be ready. The Sol/Blodtrú split: "Old Europa Death Chants" will probably be released on Paradigms Recordings in april 2010. Trúa and I are working on the last details concerning the cover. Also I've talked with Sveinn from my dear old label, Ván. They will re-release "Let There Be A Massacre" on vinyl - this is really cool! They will probably also re-release "I Am Infinity" on vinyl. Lastly we are working on a new Sol album called "Offer Thy Flesh To The Worms". So far we've only finished a couple of tracks which has been sent to Ván; they might wanna release it in a very small edition.
October 9th 2009 Great news: Paradigms Recordings has agreed to release the Sol / Blóðtrú collaboration: Old Europa Death Chants. It is said to be released sometimes early 2010. This is fantastic news! So now Trúa and I will make the last arrangements concerning the cover artwork, and everything will be ready! I’m currently planning the next Sol release. And due to the fact that I have been listening to a lot of old death metal lately it could be something in that alley... But I am also working on some more drone-ish accordion and cello pieces which will probably be on the album as well. I have talked with Danny Jönsson (who played some drums for Sol on Old Europa Death Chants) and Martin Jacobsen (who played some guitar on Let There Be A Massacre & I Am Infinity) to help me with this album. So far we have only recorded some riffs and I have written some lyrics; let’s see where this goes.
September 28th 2009 The Sol/Blodtrú split: Old Europa Death Chants, which was due to be released in 2009 by Ván was stopped in the last minute because of some economical issues. Trúa from Blodtrú and I are therefore looking for a new label to release our glorious split on. More news will follow concerning that. The same economical issues that caused Ván not to release Old Europa Death Chants has also caused that I won’t be releasing anything on Ván for a while. This is offcourse sad – but what can one do? I am looking for a new label to release my coming album, which will be more experimental then Let There Be A Massacre and I Am Infinity. More news will follow and that as well. The Grívf/Sol split: Íss/The Great Plague Imperium which has walked a crooked mile will perhaps never be released... who knows... But last time I talked with Isar of Grívf he told me that Det Germanske Folket is interested in releasing it. Let’s see which way the wind blows – and let’s hope for a release of this great split that has been finished and ready for release in almost two years! Last but not least – thanks to Trúa for creating the solarmassacre site. |
