THE BEAST

Icelandic atmospheric rock ‘n’ rollers  SÓLSTAFIR   and Norwegian Sognametal brigade  VREID   have joined forces for a unique and spectacular event! On October 15, these legendary performers will unveil a   collaborative concert stream  in which they will transport viewers right from their living rooms to the breath-taking mountaintops  of  the bands’ respective homelands. The performance is  free to watch , but generous fans may donate as they wish via VIPS and PayPal. The stream will air live at 3:00 P.M. EST // 19:00 GMT // 21:00 CET via the  Season   of   Mist  YouTube Channel and members from both bands will be in the chat!

Tune in on the stream  HERE .

The  ACROSS   project is a cinematic experience that brings two unique artists together to share their cultural identities and bridge the sea between the two fjords. Spectacular views  of  the Storehogen Mountain in  VREID ’s hometown  of  Sogndal, Norway and  of  Hellisheiði in  SÓLSTAFIR ’s native Iceland lay the majestic backdrop for this one- of -a-kind,  90-minute long digital streaming event . Each band’s signature sound rings through the cavernous expanse, creating a  symbiotic musical dialog  that can be heard from across the globe.

SÓLSTAFIR 's Aðalbjörn Tryggvason comments:  “Playing live music in sideways rain on moss grown lava. They wanted something Icelandic. Doesn’t get any more Icelandic than this.”

VREID   songwriter and bass player Jarle Kvåle adds:  “ SÓLSTAFIR 's and   VREID 's stories are two parallel stories   of   the north. In this weird world, our paths have crossed on several occasions and this time they have merged into something new.  This is the third streaming event   VREID   has done, and in many ways, it represents the end   of   a trilogy for us. This time we have recorded the show in a place very special for us, probably the most monumental and iconic place   of   our beloved home region   of   Sogn. Join us as we go ‘Into the Mountains.’”
