Eistnaflug Festival Report

By Terrorizer Newshound on July 18, 2013 Situated in the eastern Icelandic fishing town of Neskaupstaður, Eistnaflug (which translates to, err… flying testicles) is an incredibly diverse rock and metal festival, with three days of everything from punk to black metal and even reggae played until the early hours of the morning in an isolated fjord where the sun never sets. Needless to say, it’s a magical experience, and a chance to discover some of Iceland’s hidden musical talents. Now, where’s the Brennivin? After an 11-hour drive from Reykjavik, during which we stop off at waterfalls, spectacular glaciers and playContinue readingEistnaflug Festival Report

Blazing Horizon – A Conversation With Alcest

Blazing Horizon – A Conversation With Alcest Since 2000, Alcest has quietly become one of the most influential bands both within the realm of heavy music and beyond.  Over the course of thirteen years, the musical project begun by vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Neige has evolved its sound into that transcendent sonic balance between the ethereal and the palpable.  I had the opportunity to ask Neige a few questions regarding his own journey and process as a musician. What was it initially about music that drew you in and fostered the desire to create? I always loved music, as far as I canContinue readingBlazing Horizon – A Conversation With Alcest

Eistnaflug 2013: “it’s a big family meeting for the Icelandic metal scene”

The name of the festival isn’t easy for non-Icelandic speakers – Eistnaflug. The name of the little town (which doubles its population of 1500 when the event takes place) on an isolated fjord where the festival takes place is even harder – Neskaupstaður. But apart from linguistics, that’s really where all the stress ends with this festival. If you do decide to undertake this adventure, you’ll be rewarded with one of the coolest, most chilled-out atmospheres in any festival, ever. With 24 hour daylight, a welcoming party of smiling, peacefully drunk Icelandic metalheads and all the best talent the richContinue readingEistnaflug 2013: “it’s a big family meeting for the Icelandic metal scene”
