This is some great pagan black metal from Nergal's yesteryears. He was 15-16 when these songs were written + recorded, yet his raw youthfulness gives energy and life to the compositions. Amazing work.
One of my personal favorites amongst black metal releases, I think this is amazing work even considering the band members' ages. The songs, lyrics, execution... something greater than the parts alone.
Truly wonderful Icelandic black metal, packed with a lot of emotions intermingled with rawness in the music. In Blood and Spirit, Sólstafir's debut stands.
