New Hjalti album “Snö Från Toma Himmel” due in April

February 12, 2012 at 6:40 pm

Silence, like when a midnight forest goes quiet, often denotes a brooding dark presence. Thus the seeming lethargy from Hjalti has been masking a flurry of activity at d.iscontent studios. His obsession with metal (especially black metal) has moved from a passing fancy to a thirst that cannot be slaked. Coming out of this unquenchable passion is Hjalti’s fourth full length album, Snö Från Toma Himmel, nearing the final stages of completion as we speak. Rather than the delicately constructed electronic sounds that earlier releases have showcased, the new material is harsh and distorted. Previous albums have been melancholic, but the screams (yes actual vocals) in the new Hjalti material convey a sense of anger, hate, and power. Needless to say we here at d.iscontent are extremely excited to see the reactions this April release will provoke.
