Myrkgrav is a one-man band from Norway. The only real member is Lars Jensen, and he plays most of the instruments himself (including guitars, drums, keys and bass). He also handles the unclean vocals himself. He writes all lyrics, music and arrangements for the band. He records most of his music in his own “Koia Studios”.

History:

2002:
- The band was founded by Lars Jensen, as a more or less Black Metal oriented band.
…and a year passed.

2004:
- The demo “Fra Fjellheimen Kaller…” was written and self-released in a few handnumbered copies.

Everything was still at an early stage, but somewhere along the road, Lars had incorporated some Viking Metal in the music.
-No guests on this demo. All music, lyrics, arrangements, instruments and vocals by Lars Jensen.

2005:
- The band started co-operating with DGF Records, and the decision to write a full-length album was made.
- The music evolved, and the Black Metal that before had dominated the band’s sound now slowly started to fade away. It was by now clear that the band’s sound started taking shape for real, and the best way to describe it would be something like “Folkloric Extreme Metal”, though the new material does not negate the Black Metal roots the band has.
- Lars had always been interested in local history, and this was something he decided to incorporate in Myrkgrav, by using old stories and tales from where he had grown up as an inspirational basis for the lyrics.

2006:
- The first full-length “Trollskau, Skrømt og Kølabrenning” was released October 27th.

I don't see the resemblance between Myrkgrav and Vintersorg, to be honest... Maybe the Ödemarkens Son-era and the overall-clean vocals the bands share... but apart from that, the music is vastly different from each other... I guess discussing this matter is'nt very useful, since the bands can't be properly compared..

I agree, I've always been more of a fan of Myrkgrav than most other folk metal bands. I've never been a fan of Vintersorg, although everyone is of course entitled to their opinion.

I will just have to agree that this is nothing like Vintersorg. Everyone has their own taste but for me this seems a lot better than Vintersorg. Looking forward to the new album ...

...Bjørn Blakke heitte ein mann og var berserk. Han fòr kringom i landet og baud ut menn til holmgang, om dei ikkje gjorde som han ville. Han kom ein vinter til Torkjell i Surnadal. Are, son til Torkjell, dreiv då garden. Bjørn gav Are to vilkår; anten å slåst med han på den holmen som ligg der i Surnadal og heiter Stokkaholm, eller gi han kona si....
