Regarding their signing, KONTINUUM comment: “We are very pleased to announce our signing with Season of Mist. For us it is important to work with people that we connect with.

KONTINUUM were conceived with the aim to create hypnotic and spiritual musical noise in Reykjavik, Iceland in the year 2010.
After sending demo tracks of their debut album ‘Earth Blood Magic’ to a few labels, a first deal was quickly struck. KONTINUUM wasted no time and entered SIGUR RÓS Sundlaugin Studio in the Icelandic town Mosfellsbær in order to begin record their first full length, which was released in 2012.
‘Earth Blood Magic’ received rave reviews across the board and was voted rock album of the year in Morgunblaðið, Iceland.
The band played numerous shows in 2013 and established a reputation as a powerful live band.
KONTINUUM started working on their sophomore album in 2014. A first single titled “I Huldusal” was released the same year and received substantial radio play in Iceland, while even topping the charts of the island’s largest alternative rock radio station.
‘Kyrr’ hit the stores in April 2015 alongside the brand new single “Breathe”. Following the release of their second album, KONTINUUM embarked on two tours in Germany and performed at several festivals including the prestigious Roadburn Festival (Netherlands), Eurosonic Festival (Netherlands), Icelandic Airwaves and Eistnaflug Festival at home, and Lituania’s Devilstone Festival.
