seventies, Megas was perceived as a provocateur and his important role in the Icelandic rock scene turned him into a reference for future artists. He then released a children's song album and a double live album and withdrew from the Icelandic music and started working as a dock worker and graduated from arts school. Back to music By 1983 reappeared in the Icelandic music scene by collaborating with other bands and playing as a guest musicians on several albums. Towards 1985 joined Kukl in a new project was named MegaKukl and toured all over Iceland recording around 20 songs which still remain as unpublished material.After seven years of absence, his solo career was resumed in 1986 with the release of Í góðri trú. In 1990 Megas released Hættuleg hljómsveit & glæpakvendið Stella, and started a new project music with Kukl members called Hættuleg hljómsveit (A Dangerous Band), featuring singer Björk as backing vocalist. The present Megas has remained one of the most important Icelandic artists. Considered the father of Icelandic rock and acclaimed for his prolific and, sometimes controversial works, his complete discography up to 1990 was reissued in 2002, remastered and with bonus tracks.More recently, he joined Súkkat to create a new project called Megasukk and released Hús Datt, their debut album in 2005.

Trivia Megas is mentioned in the song "Iceland" by The Fall which appeared on Hex Enduction Hour (1982). The song was recorded in Hljóðriti studio in Iceland in 1981. In a Melody Maker article about The Fall's stay in Iceland called "The Decline and Fall in Iceland" (published 26 September 1981) is this written about Megas: "Our hosts play us tapes of a man with a cracked voice and a Dylanish air and describe him as “the father of Icelandic rock’n’roll”. And they tell us the story of Megas, who ridiculed the sacred Sagas of the land, wrote scathing, surreal lyrics, got heavily into booze and drugs, was barred from radio and shunned by society. In 1979 he released a double album called “Plans For Suicide” announced his retirement, and hasn't performed in public since he's now a dock worker. Mark Smith is entranced by the story,
