Icelandic trio Hatari in Berlin in February with new album
Of course, a band should never be judged by a single performance, but the Icelandic trio Hatari gained worldwide attention in 2019 with their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv. Their single "Hatrið mun sigra", which was as apocalyptic as it was critical of capitalism and jumped wildly between industrial, pop and goth, literally screamed out from the many Schlageresque numbers.
We now know that Hatari are not just a short ESC hype. The debut album "Neyslutrans" took advantage of the new international prominence and made no compromises musically: The single "Spillingardans" certainly also appealed to Trent Reznor and the song "Klefie/Samed" was an exciting collaboration with the Palestinian musician Bashar Murad, both musically and in terms of content.
The trio is now warming up for the release of their new album. "The Popstar" Klemens Hannigan (vocals & production), "The Gimp" Einar Hrafn Stefánsson (drums & production) and Davíð Þór Katrínarson aka "Svarti Laxness" aka "Big D" (vocals) already released the new single "Quality Control" in June, which combines spherical electro-pop with goth theatrics and aggressive, distorted industrial shouting. The new single "MORE" will be released on September 19th before the second album with the same title "MORE" will be released in January. Just a few weeks later, Hatari will present the record live in Germany at an exclusive gig at the Lido on their "MORE TOUR 2025".
