Release info:
Strigaskór nr 42 is a band with quite a long history,
but sporatic activity through the years. Formed in
the late eighties, Strigaskór nr. 42 came to be at
the forefront of the vibrant Icelandic death-metal
scene in the early nineties (3-way split with
Sororicide and In Memoriam released back in
1992). The band’s only full album to date, ‘Blót’
(1994), veered away from traditional metal style
into more avantgarde sound and received
widespread critical acclaim and a cult status in
Iceland’s music community, being considered by
many as the best metal album ever released by an
Icelandic band. Now, nearly twenty years later, the
band is back with a new album, „Armadillo”, selfreleased digitally in September 2013, with the CD
version coming in March 2015 via Hellthrasher
Productions. The band’s current incarnation draws
its influences from such acts such as Voivod,
Primus, Madness and Wire, while remaining a
unique and colorful fusion of various styles from
industrial metal through noise rock to twisted punk.
