NARRATOR: The Great black-backed Gull is the largest gull in the world and will readily eat almost anything they can swallow. Unlike most other gulls, they are highly predatory and frequently hunt and kill prey smaller than themselves. When attacking other flying birds, the Great black-backed gulls often pursue them on the wing and attack by jabbing with their bill, hoping to bring down the target either by creating a deadly open wound or simply by exhaustion. - sound of seagulls getting stronger The deep laughing cry of the Great black-backed Gull is a haunting call and will send a chill down anyone´s spine that dares to listen.

about

When the Apotheker arrives in a small fishing village on the southwest corner of Iceland, mysterious events start to unveil in the area. The sea, once abundant, seizes to feed and nourish the towns people and unexplained disappearances and deaths of young men start to occur. The Apotheker seems to have arrived with death on his heels.

released August 27, 2021

Smári Guðmundsson previously wrote and produced the musical Mystery Boy, which tackles the topic of love and eternity but in the Apotheker, death is the main subject of scrutiny.
In the recording process, which lasted about four years, there has been a great and good collaboration with Smári and Stefán Örn Gunnlaugsson. Stefán Örn produced and supervised all aspects of the creation of the music for the Apotheker and also played on keyboards and synthesizers, he also proved to be Smári's guide for sound and sobriety in general. Other excellent instrumentalists on the album are: Fríða Dís Guðmundsdóttir, vocals, Viktor Atli Gunnarsson, guitar, and Þorvaldur Halldórsson on drums, while Smári also played guitar and bass himself.
