Nyrst

In 2019, Nyrst signed with the Norwegian label Dark Essence Records for the release of their debut full length album “Orsök”, gaining great reviews from around the world and quickly captivating audiences from the black metal scene with the unveiling of their music video for the title track of the album. With no signs of ceasing their cold cacophony Nyrst are already intent on their audial onslaught performing at festivals around the globe.

NYRST’s follow up album “Völd” builds on the band’s early promise and the desire of its members – Snæbjörn on vocals,  Eysteinn and Davíð on guitars, Egill on bass, and Sveinbjörn on drums, to create the coldest, most eerie and barren of soundscapes possible.

“Völd”, which, roughly translated, means  “force, power or might”, is an unapologetic homage to Iceland’s immense volcanoes.  Its music conjuring forth images of the unrelenting and unforgiving harshness of nature that has dominated every living being in this land.

“Nyrst manage to mix an independent sound from the Icelandic trademarks. The fact that they don’t sound quite as harsh as most of their colleagues at one point or another rather shows that the special Nordic soundscape allows for further development potential.”
