Marius Ziska

Marius Ziska has been one of the most important players on the Faroese music scene for many years. His first full album release was under the name Marius when he released the album The Sky Is Our Home (2006). Under the same name he released the EP Masses in 2011. Since then, he has released three albums under the name Marius Ziska – Recreation (2013), Home/Heim (2015) and Portur (2018). His first albums were sung in English, while Home/Heim is half English and half Faroese, while Portur (2018) is all in Faroese.

2023 looks very exciting for Marius Ziska since the band has just finished a new album, RÚM, also in Faroese, that was released in March 2023. In addition to this, the band has been booked by The Faroese Symphonic Orchestra to play some joint concerts with the Symphonic Orchestra. The band is currently working on realizing this project.

Marius Ziska has been one of the most important voices on the Faroese music scene for many years. With 5 album releases on their back, the band has gained a lot of attention and gathered a large fanbase in and outside of the North. He’s been associated with Bon Iver and Icelandic Ásgeir Trausi with their very similar taste in sound. Marius Ziska has a love for electronic pop music mixed with the melancholy of the Faroese nature.
