Hin helga kvöl (The Holy Suffering) is a profound exploration of raw emotion and stark beauty, deeply inspired by Sólstafir’s cultural heritage and Iceland's breathtaking landscapes. Sólstafir, meaning "crepuscular rays" in Icelandic, refers to sunlight piercing through dark clouds at dusk, capturing the essence of Hin helga kvöl, a beacon of hope shining through the heaviest of times. Sólstafir confronts inner demons and transcends rock and roll decadence, creating music that resonates with the universal struggle and triumph over hardship. Recorded at Flóki Studios in the remote Skagafjörður, Iceland, the change of scenery has profoundly influenced the album's atmosphere. Hin helga kvöl features eight tracks blending Sólstafir's signature melancholic sound with elements from their past, merging black metal roots with tuneful, anthemic rock. Reflecting on the album's title, Tryggvason shares: "We all suffer in life, and even nature suffers. It can be found in religion and spirituality as well. Hin helga kvöl means 'The Holy Suffering,' representing the struggle we all face." The album’s stunning cover art by Rowan E Cassidy, featuring charcoal shadows, perfectly illustrates the emotional depth and breathtaking altitudes of Hin helga kvöl. Tryggvason describes the music with one word: "alone," capturing the essence of Sólstafir's unfiltered and ardently emotional sound. Sólstafir’s music is shaped by diverse influences, including Black Metal, Classic Rock, Post-Rock, Punk, and the stark beauty of Icelandic nature, crafting a unique sound all of their own. Hin helga kvöl promises to be a bright, shining milestone in Sólstafir’s illustrious career, illuminating the path from darkness to light. This November, let that undiluted haunting beauty and spiritual raw power of Hin helga kvöl run free in your mind. Suffering has never felt this enlightening. The album is available as: Ltd. CD Box Set, Ltd. CD Digipak, black LP, Ltd. Gatefold red LP & Art print, Digital Album

"... 1996's Triarchy of the Lost Lovers is RC's triumph and masterpiece. It is among the best extreme metal albums every made. Each song strikes a different chord inside the listener, making each song unique in delivery, yet the songs reign in the realm of the album. The drums especially the snare drum hit with a clear resonance. Though the guitars are low tuned for the Death/Black metal genre, they emit sound clearly and in the perfect space inside the open air of the album's production. At times Sakis nearly whispers and can be heard just as well as the loudest guitar. Though Rotting Christ are unquestionably an Extreme Metal group, playing the heaviest on Triarchy is not a primary goal, and hardly a secondary goal. The combination of distinctly heard guitar riffs that have the perfect tone and overdrive and the impeccable melody and sublime guitar harmony throughout makes the album pace at a nearly enchanting speed. Triarchy is one of the best extreme metal albums, and makes the case that this extreme genre of rock can not only be uncompromisingly heavy and brutal, but also uncompromisingly beautiful and artistic...."
