Solefald

Favorite

Norwegian Post-Black Metal/Avant-garde band, formed by Lars Are "Lazare" Nedland and Cornelius Jakhelln in August 1995. Lars is singing, and playing keyboard, synthesizer, piano and drums, and Cornelius is singing, and playing guitar and bass. Lazare states that "Solefald is an old Norse word for sunset. We 'stole' it from a painting by the Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen. His two paintings 'Soleglad' and 'Solefald' portrays the cycle of being, and we found it to be a very fitting idea for our band." Cornelius also states "'Solefald' means literally "the fall of the sun", or just "sunset"; the way we spell it is Danish, from the 19th century."
