Solbrud is a Danish black metal band known for their atmospheric and intense soundscapes that echo the bleakness of Scandinavian landscapes and ethos. Emerging from the Copenhagen underground scene in the early 2010s, Solbrud has garnered a dedicated following through their immersive live performances and a profound commitment to their craft evident in each of their musical outings. The quartet combines the raw ferocity of black metal with a deep sense of melodicism, managing to capture both aggression and a haunting beauty in their sound.

Their self-titled debut album "Solbrud" was released in 2012 to critical acclaim within the metal community, establishing the band as one of the promising acts in the genre. They have since continued to build on their reputation with subsequent releases such as "Jærtegn" (2014) and "Vemod" (2017), the latter of which translates to ‘melancholy,’ and perfectly encapsulates the essence of their music—both punishing and poetic. The live album "Levende I Brønshøj Vandtårn" showcases the band's ability to translate their atmospheric sound to a live setting, cementing their presence as a potent and immersive live act. With tracks like "Sjæleskrig" and "Tåge," Solbrud delves into themes of nature, existence, and the human psyche, reflecting their deep roots in the vivid storytelling and mysticism that often accompany black metal music.
