Reykjavík Grapevine - 08.11.2013, Blaðsíða 35

Iceland's music scene houses many great acts that are willing to
experiment with their creation. When it comes to Icelandic metal,
Skálmöld are one of the big acts to catch, as they combine
Icelandic folk songs with the sound of bands like Iron Maiden,
Anthrax, Slayer and Metallica. Just like the last mentioned band,
Skálmöld are about to join forces with the Icelandic Symphony
Orchestra to put on a massive show reminiscent of Metallica’s
S&M album. Even if you are not that much into metal, this histor-
ic event might be worth attending. FYI: It is staged three times at
Harpa Eldborg. November 28 and 29 at 20:00 and on November
30 at 17:00. JK Photo by Guðný Lára Thorarensen

Skálmöld & The National Symphony Orchestra
For Airwaves-goers, there was one drummer you couldn’t miss:
This guy! Look at him and his glorious red-glowing hair! Dur-
ing the festival he played no fewer than nine live shows with rap
band Úlfur Úlfur, Emmsjé Gauti, alternative-rock band Sign, and
his principal math-rock band Agent Fresco. No stranger to the
drum kit, Hrafnkell has been in a band since age 3, and shows no
indication of putting his drumsticks away. He’s taking it easy now,
merely preparing for an album release tour with Emmsjé Gauti
and Sign, after which Agent Fresco’s new album will hopefully get
released, putting him on the road again. In the meanwhile, you
can catch him in high spirits downtown, smiling that radiant smile
of his. Don’t ask for a lock of his hair, though, he’s been growing
it since 2008! TGB Photo by Joseph Henry Von Ritter
