Doomcember
Dec. 14-15th - 21:00 - Gaukurinn -
4.200 ISK
Celebrating its third anniversary,
Doomcember has ambitiously unit-
ed the whole doom metal scene of
Iceland for one night. Expect riffs
that will make even your mum look
skinny. Also, Canadian mantra doom
band Zaum will be headlining. Fuck
everything, let’s doom. PW

Christmas With Sissel 2018
Dec. 19th - 18:00 - Harpa -
6,900 to 14,900 ISK
Sissel is the Norwegian Celine Dion,
but with that opera-pop crossover
twist that the young people so
love these days. This is a certified
great-grandmother-safe event. One
Grapevine writer said, “Bring on the
vibrato, girl. ‘Shenandoah,’ is a low-
key banger.” SP

FM Belfast Christmas Spectacular
Dec. 14th - 21:00 - Hard Rock Café - 3,000 ISK
After having kicked the
shit out of Kaffibarinn
last month with an al-
ready-legendary post-
Airwaves Sunday night
blowout—including an
epic bout of crowd-
surfing from drummer
Ívar Pétur, who went
out of the building over
the hands of a spon-
taneous street party,
around a car, and back
in again—Iceland’s un-
disputed #1 party band
is back. FM Belfast’s
goofy goodtime tunes
hit euphoric peaks
when they play live in
an inexplicable form of
musical alchemy. Their
live shows never fail,
coming complete with
streamer explosions,
strobes, cover-version
interludes and celebra-
tory singalongs from
the sweaty, bouncing,
glitter-covered crowd,
who are swept up in
the madness and left
grinning from ear to
ear. Put your hands in
the air and lose your-
self in the best way. JR
