Album Description
Available in:
"Ótta" (an old time form for the time of the day from 3 to 6 AM) is the fifth studio album by the Icelandic heavy metal band Sólstafir. It was released on August 29, 2014 through the record label Season of Mist.
Ótta consists of eight tracks, beginning with a representation of midnight, moving through each Eyktir (one eighth of a solar day), coming to a close in the period between 9 pm and midnight
User Album Review
Sólstafir incorporate a slow tone to express the gentle build ups of emotion to their draining music. Rismál (Dayrise) and Dagmál (Morning) build on that slow pace to allow the listener to wade through their own senses to discover the depth Sólstafir go into through the dynamic simplicity of their music. The approach is much like the subdued Katatonia, but of their own making where a certain sense of passion that no other band comes close to touching. The slow pace of the album thus far rises to a consistent rise and sink of harmonies during Miðdegi (Midday) before a stand out solo appears behind the curtain of instrumentation. The fuzz of guitar and dreary bass in Nón (midafternoon) leads to some purely atmospheric interludes that prepare you for the burst of grooves and exploding solos afterwards.
We’ve come through the ferocity of morning and day, now it’s time to relax. Any urgency is stripped away on the sorrowful, piano led Miðaftann (afternoon) and crescendos in Náttmál (Evening) which bring to album to a close with pulsating ambiance of looming anger to give way to a dramatic growth of intensity unlike anything on the album. This song is a masterpiece of progressiveness; much like the album itself.
