Strigaskórnr42 is a band with quite a long history, butsporaticactivity through the years. Formed in the late eighties, Strigaskórnr. 42 came to be at the forefront of the vibrant Icelandic death-metal scene in the early nineties (3-way split with Sororicide and In Memoriam released back in 1992). The band's only full album to date, 'Blót' (1994), veered away fromtraditional metal styleinto moreavantgardesound and received widespread critical acclaim and a cult status in Iceland's music community, being considered by many as the best metal album ever released by an Icelandic band. Armadillois the band's first record after 20-year hiatus.
