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.
Both video and sound was recorded at the concert - more news will follow on this.

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.
Check them out here:

Thanks to Mikkel, Danny, Andreas and Amalie for making this release happen.

Last but not least:
I found an entire SOL album recorded in 2007 on an old harddrive. It was meant to be released on Ván after "Let There Be A Massacre" but for some reason I never finished it. So now I have recorded vocals and finished three tracks and discarded two tracks which wasn't so good after all.
I'll probably record an intro or an outro which would suit the heavy melodic doom music on this album.
The title of the album is "Beast of Riddles, Monster of Light".
I am currently looking for a label for this if anybody's interested.
More news will follow.

 

 

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).
"Offer Thy Flesh To The Worms" is limited to 300 copies so hurry up and purchase one!
www.van-records.de

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.
It will be released as a free mp3 download on Drowning and will also be released on cassette tape on Golemtapes. I will post a note when they are released and available.

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.
I got no clue have it will be and who will be in on it. More news will follow on this as it grows.

 

 

February 2nd 2011.

Finally.
The Grívf / Sol split: Íss / The Great Plague Imperium has been released on Archaic Sound (check it out: http://archaic-sound.com).
I haven't received my free copies yet, but as seen through cyberspace the artwork looks awesome.

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.
Last week I heard from Yuriy that the Grívf / Sol split had been printed and should be ready very soon. That is great news indeed.

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.
More on “Sleep Is A River” as it develops.

That's all for now!

 

August 17th 2010.

The Sol / Blódtrú collaboration: Old Europa Death Chants has finally been
released on Paradigms Recordings. (visit: www.paradigms-recordings.com for
more info). Both Trúa and I are very pleased with this album and think
everyone should get a copy!

The cover for the Grívf / Sol: Íss / The Great Plague Imperium is still
under construction... The last I heard was that the artist making the
cover had to escape some natural catastrophy in her town, that is all I
know of that matter - but hopefully it will all be okay soon.
When I think of the first guitar recordings I did for this album, which
was in the late half of 2006 - it seems incredible that we are now in the
later half 2010. I am hoping this split will soon see the light of day.

I only need to record one more instrument for one track of "Offer Thy
Flesh To The Worms" then it is done and ready for release. Trúa have
created a beautiful cover and Ván is still interested in a release...
...more on this as it developes.


 

March 30th 2010

Thus my debut CD release; Let There Be A Massacre has been released on
12" vinyl as a part of the Ván 99 Series. This is great news for the analogue
people indeed! I have heard rumours that I Am Infinity will also find its way
to vinyl.

Isar of Grivf and I are now waiting for our split Íss / The Great Plague Imperium
to be released on Archaic Sound. Last thing I heard Yuriy from Archaic Sound had
hired an artist to do the cover. It will be exciting to see.

The Sol / Blóðtrú split Old Europa Death Chants that was due to be released
February has been delayed for some months because of different things...
Let's hope this great piece of music will be released soon.

Trúa of Blóðtrú and I are starting our own label, SÓLVERK, and will be
releasing a C20 cassette tape with Sol's Europa as soon as we got some capital.
We are also planning on releasing a tape with some older Blóðtrú demo material.
More good news for the analogue people.

Currently I am working on an album entitled Offer Thy Flesh To The Worms,
which will be a (mostly) acoustic drone album. So far I only need one song
before it's done. Nothing is yet sure, but I have talked with Ván about a
potential release. I am looking forward to this.

That's all for now!

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.
