SONIC ICELAND – an extraordinary project that combines two enthusiastic fanboys, one small island just south of the Arctic Circle and its fantastic music scene. A portrait of Iceland and its music, created by two fans and the internet: SONIC ICELAND is a fresh approach to travel writing and music journalism. Kai and Marcel are fans and bloggers, who used the power of the web to create this portrai

t of the Icelandic music scene. The website www.sonic-iceland.com combines music, photography and written words into a very personal, yet informing travelogue about the Icelandic community and its music today. What makes SONIC ICELAND even more special is the idea of publishing most of the content online (chapter after chapter), before releasing it as an illustrated book. That way, Kai and Marcel hope to gain attention of publishers while collecting new followers worldwide. SONIC ICELAND is the story of a trip of two friends to an island up north. Armed with camera and notebook, they met many musicians and artists and fell in love with this island. SONIC ICELAND already got exposure on countless blogs plus magazines and newspapers from Germany, Ireland and Iceland reported about it, and a SONIC ICELAND photo exhibition was featured at the world’s biggest photography fair, Photokina in Cologne.

Fantastic portraits taken backstage at ATP Iceland by Matthew Eisman.

I wanted to try something different and challenging at ATP Iceland 2014 so I decided to shoot a series of backstage band portraits. I set up a portrait studio on-location at Atlantic Studios and shot as many bands as possible. For some artists I had less than a minute to work with. For others, time…

Europe! The mighty SÓLSTAFIR are coming on their first headliner tour!

Brothers and sisters in Europe! We are pleased to announce our first European headlining tour, taking place next October and November in association with NMC Live. Read their statement below:

One of the most stunning and original bands to have emerged from the metal scene in recent years, Iceland’s SÓLSTAFIR are about to return from the wilderness with the follow-up to 2011’s breakthrough album, Svartir Sandir.

Released on August 29th via Season of Mist, Ótta is another scenic and scintillating journey into the kind of achingly beautiful, wide-open realms you could only create if you were on intimate terms with both the mindbending landscapes on your doorstep, and the unquenchable yearning of your own heart.

NMC Live are incredibly proud to present Sólstafir’s European Tour in October and November 2014. Tickets go on sale Monday 30th June at 9 a.m
