Drungi in 5 minutes
We are Drungi, hailing from the cool shores of Reykjavík Iceland. A refreshing addition to the hard rock/metal scene with an interesting mix of Rock, black‘n‘roll and doom. We are currently working on our debut album, soon to be released in early 2024. We recently released our first single Alda (Wave) in late 2023 with great remarks such as „The music is so perfect all we can do is comment on their clothes “– A&P-reacts and „This will be my favorite song of 2024“.
Formed in 2019, the lineup consists of Sjafnar on vocals, Rúnar on lead guitar, Loki on rhythm guitar, Magnús on bass and Sandra on drums. The first show they played was in mid-2019 when they opened a small local festival, Toolraiser 2019, and since then we have played numerous shows including Lemmy rock festival 2022 and Culture night 2022.
Drungi celebrates our 5th year together by releasing our album, to be announced, following Alda (Wave) and Myrkur (Dark). Having all suffered from some form of mental illnesses the debut album consists of songs inspired by Icelandic nature as well as the deep-rooted mental troubles, that many other people may struggle with every day. Our lyrics are all in Icelandic and connect with the harsh environments we the locals have had to deal with since the island was first populated. Our different musical backgrounds have come together to form a unique mixture of metal and rock that many people connect with on a deeper level.
As of today, we are focusing on our release, as well as planning a tour to promote it locally. We encourage you to subscribe to our mailing list, follow us on youtube, Facebook and Instagram, head over to Spotify, getting to know our singles and finally you can support the band by checking out our merch store and grab our all new T-shirt.
