No more pixie nice guys! The first single from Kveikur is near eight minutes of big, dark business – thunderous, constantly exploding sounds heavy with reverb and shimmering, dirge-like string parts. This is a song to ring in the end of the world, with a video inspired by Melancholia, The Tree Of Life, Aphex Twin and death metal. I cannot wait to hear it live. Cannot. Fucking. Wait. These are strange angels.
