Katla (Iceland) – Móðurástin (2017)

Katla is an Icelandic band featuring ex-Sólstafir drummer and visual artist Guðmundur Óli Pálmason and singer/multi-instrumentalist Einar Thorberg Guðmundsson (Fortíð, Potentiam). Named in tribute to one of Iceland's greatest active volcanos, Katla creates powerful, panoramic music where shimmering guitars, crushing melodies and atmospheric density meet dark, entrancing power. Katla's debut album, "Móðurástin", shines a spotlight on the band's hook-heavy, horizon-stretching sound. The lyrics tell tales of living in a country of contrasts; a land where fire and ice co-exist and dark winters are offset by the summer's midnight sun. Iceland: a country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture. "Móðurástin", Icelandic for (a) Mother's Love, might seem like a strange title for a metal album, but Katla dares to be different. What on Earth is stronger than a mother's love? Nothing. Not hate, not lust, not greed. Katla has shaped a towering sound sharpened by experience and forged for fans of heavy, atmospheric music. It is time for Katla to erupt again! KATLA – это один из крупнейших действующих вулканов Исландии, а также и хэви-метал-дуэт из этой северной страны, в состав которого входят бывший барабанщик SÓLSTAFIR Guðmundur Óli Pálmason и мульти-инструменталист Einar Thorberg Guðmundsson (Fortíð, Potentiam). Альбом "Móðurástin" (в переводе с исландского: "Материнская любовь") вышел 27 октября 2017 года (немецкий лэйбл Prophecy) на CD, виниле и артбуке. Ниже в качестве бонусов мной добавлены обе песни с их единственного сингла 2016 года – "Ferðalok". Здесь вы можете слушать онлайн mp3 бесплатно и без регистрации.
