Icelandic Rock

Icelandic Rock is a genre of music that originated in Iceland in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its heavy use of distorted guitars, driving rhythms, and often melancholic lyrics. It is often compared to the grunge and alternative rock genres, but with a distinct Icelandic flavor. Icelandic Rock bands often draw inspiration from the country's unique landscape and culture, and often incorporate traditional Icelandic instruments and melodies into their music. Notable Icelandic Rock bands include Sigur Rós, Múm, and Of Monsters and Men.
