HAM returns with Vestur Berlín

Published on 16/04/2017 in NEWS by Stína Satanía

A legendary rock band HAM (with the current Minister of Health of Iceland as a member) returns with new song entitled Vestur Berlín that is an ode to the West Berlin. The single announces an anticipated album that hopefully will be released in early May 2017. HAM was formed back in 1988 and active again (following a short hiatus) from the beginning of the millennium until today. Their last album entitled Svik, harmur og dauði was released in 2011. They are like a mighty machine consisting of a wild rhytm section, guitars sharp like a razor and such harsh and powerful voices. Below Vestur Berlín premiered on the Icelandic television: Facebook (more…)

Where have you been on the Culture Night?

Published on 27/09/2016 in Other by Stína Satanía

Trying my best to go back to a routine, I got sick right before the Culture Night. Right in time, isn’t it? But it reminds me the best memory from this annual festivity – gigs in the banana jungle in the backyard of Laugavegur 58b (shout out to Birgir of Godchilla and Antimony for organizing it!).

Whenever I want to get right in a party mood, I need to listen to Icelandic rap – Úlfur Úlfur – that I fell in love with thanks to my dear old flatmate Fríða. The Culture Night 2016 is officially their night. I had seen this duo three time out of their four performances of that day and, moreover, that…

Today it seems like Eistnaflug reality was actually in some other dimension long time ago. But it happened. So far, it’s my third festival season in Iceland and in a state of peace of mind I can tell you I’m satisfied for the rest of 2015. Finally, I´d observed the most famous Icelandic metal festival for a few years. It´d been rather like licking candy through the wrapper. So I packed my backpack and tent and went to the small fjord in eastern Iceland with a town called Neskaupstaður that has a population of 1500 people. The amount of festivalgoers this year reached up to 3000. We are powerful, aren’t we? (more…)

Getting in the ring with legends – HAM

Published on 04/12/2014 in Live by Stína Satanía

Do you know that feeling when after such an incredible gig you just need a glass of beer? Not even a cigarette that may decorate this moment, maybe just because it was a crazy windy day in the dark Reykjavík. You were speechless. Noone could rub out a wild smile from your face. You thought that possibly maybe the universe was just destroyed so you were moving in no time and no space. Although you were in the middle of the storm called Iceland Airwaves, you actually didn´t need to see any other band tonight. That was enough joy. That was a blast. (more…)
