Solstafir have released another track from their upcoming album Berdreyminn.

Silfur-Refur is the latest song taken from the record, which will launch on May 26 via Season Of Mist. The Icelandic outfit previously revealed Ísafold and Bláfjall.

Guitarist and vocalist Addi Tryggvason says: “The song Silfur-Refur revolves around having a sick ghost version of yourself taking control of your life. You resist with all you have, but you simply don’t stand a chance. It travels with you all the time, asleep or awake.

“The song was written in a few parts – with the intro being one of them. We knew right away that this would be the opener of the album.”

The track has also been released as a limited edition 10-inch single, backed by Scorpion Moonrise via the Roadburn Festival – and it’s available to purchase at the Tilburg event this weekend.

Solstafir will head out on a 15-date European tour this summer in support of the follow-up to 2014 Ótta.
