Attention: due to the Corona pancemic, the tour is postponed to 2023. Tickets remain valid.

SÓLSTAFIR and KATATONIA will head out in January and February 2022 on a 31-date co-headline tour of the UK and Europe. The coming together of these two revered masters of melancholy seems only natural. For over a quarter of a century both artists have favoured the emotional connection that their music brings over all else. Theirs is a world where “heavy” is a force of nature; where progress comes from within, outwardly changing their musical output into something almost unrecognizable from the extreme metal that carried it in the early days. The BBC’s description of KATATONIA’s “grandiose, majestic beauty” seems appropriate for both artists. It’s no coincidence that The Guardian’s take on SÓLSTAFIR is equally apt: “total immersion is compulsory”.

• Cvlt Ov The Svn

As it often seems modern Rock music has lost its sense of palpable danger and mystique, Finnish dark Occult Rock act CVLT OV THE SVN marks its return in full force with their grim, addictive first full length, ‘We Are The Dragon’. Slated for release on May 7, 2021 via Napalm Records, CVLT OV THE SVN’s debut embodies a reverberating sense of eeriness, danger and fear, enriched with a pinch of gothic romanticism and pitch-black seduction. Finally, there’s a cvlt worth joining: CVLT OV THE SVN’s sound feels dangerously unsettling, lacing its churning heaviness with catchy melodies that travel right through your ears to your central nervous system!

The track begins in a sombre register, with a beautiful melodic vocal eventually giving way to a darker side, complete with nightmarish screams, and a droning synth-backed chorus.
