Myrkgand is essentially a one-man project driven by Dmitry Luna, whose 2017 debut album enlisted guest appearances from members of Symphony X, Novembers Doom, Mystifier, and Korzus to flesh out its mythology-drenched blend of melodic death, black, and folk metal. The 2022 follow-up Rituals & Wisdom was recorded in Oslo and Lisbon with Øystein Brun of Borknagar producing, pushing the project's ambitions into genuinely international territory.
Myrkgrav is a blackened folk/Viking metal project from Åsa, founded in 2006 as a one-man endeavor by Lars Jensen. The project channels Norwegian folk melodies and historical themes into atmospheric, black metal-infused compositions that have earned international recognition.
A black metal project from the mountain village of Lom in Gudbrandsdalen, Myrknetsferd channels the remote, mountainous landscape into dark, atmospheric compositions since 2020. The project operates from one of Norway's most isolated and dramatically situated communities.
Myrkr is a black metal band from Dublin, Ireland, active since 2009. Their Old Norse-inspired name captures their approach to cold, atmospheric black metal.
Gulfport, Mississippi death metal band Myrkridia has been grinding since 2012, bringing Gulf Coast brutality to a genre rarely associated with the Deep South and building a steady underground presence in one of the country's more underrepresented metal regions.
Myrkskog is a black/death metal band from Drammen, Norway, formed in 2017. They forge extreme metal at the fierce intersection of black and death metal.
Myrkul is a blackened death metal band from Milton Keynes, England, formed in 2018. They fuse black metal's cold fury with death metal's crushing brutality.
A New York-based project founded in 2014, Myrkur weaves atmospheric black metal with folk and post-metal textures, layering ethereal vocals over icy tremolo riffs and acoustic passages to create a sound that is both harrowing and hauntingly beautiful.
A Georgia black metal act founded in 2014, this incarnation of Myrkur pursues a rawer, more stripped-down approach to the genre, favoring cold, unadorned riffing and a grim aesthetic over the folk and atmospheric flourishes of its New York namesake.
