Icelandic outfit Sólstafir have begun a new European tour alongside The Ocean and Mono that follows a stint in Japan with Anathema last month in support of 2014’s Ótta (review here), released on Season of Mist and which even now sounds like winter beckoning. The melancholic, emotionally-driven heavy post-rockers have been around the world to herald the album, including North America, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down. The current run will take them into the beginning of next month, running all the way up to Damnation Festival in Leeds, UK.

They’ve also got a brand new drummer in Hallgrímur Jón Hallgrímsson. The PR wire has it like this:
