THE DEVIL'S MOUTH Vol. 78: Memory Lane - Addi Tryggvason and Sólstafir's 'Svartir Sandar'

'Svartir Sandar' was everything anyone could have wished from  the cowboys of the ice - a massive double album, moody and thick with  atmosphere, but also boasting some of the quartet's most notable songs  every, including the show-stopping 'Fjara', which has been capturing  hearts all over the world ever since. Having been recently  announced the band will signal this important landmark by playing 'Svartir Sandar' in full at the famous Roadburn Festival, we thought it was time to get their frontman "Addi" Tryggvason to reminisce a bit on  it. Because we know few bands are as full of stories as Sólstafir,  expectations were high, but we ended up with the longest Memory Lane episode so far and Addi's tales did not disappoint, as always.
