Mörkhimmel is a crust/thrash metal band from Prague, Czech Republic, active since 2012 with releases including "Zloskřivec," "Ostří černé kosy zní," and a split with The Tower. Their Czech-language approach to crust-infused thrash metal reflects the darker, more aggressive wing of Prague's underground.
