What was, what is and what will be: A question which has haunted many a mind over many a century, I believe. There is little to no doubt that in order to understand how and why we are here today, we must know something about our past; our roots and heritage. This is what Myrkgrav stands for. By exploring the rich local history from the area where main-man Lars Jensen has lived all of is life and bringing it out into music and lyrics, it is tried to make a vague attempt to prevent old knowledge from going into the infamous book of oblivion.
Ringerike, Hole, Lommedalen and Sørkedalen are the areas which are given the most attention in this search for old, and they do indeed contain what can seem to be almost endless amounts of important and less important stories, tales and memories. It is culture, it is tradition - it is a part of history, and Myrkgrav does by no means whatsoever have any intention of letting these invaluable stories be forgotten under the dust of time. Do prepare to be brainfed more folklore and local history.
Conventional biography:
Myrkgrav was founded by Lars Jensen in the beginning of 2003, as a one-man project. The first record to be unleashed under the name of Myrkgrav was the 2004 demo Fra Fjellheimen Kaller..., a Black Metal based record with some Viking influences. The demo sucks, by the way (well, I think so at least). After this demo, Lars was given the opportunity to release his material on Det Germanske Folket Records. He decided to not merely release the demo professionally, but instead write material for a full length album.
After encountering an almost endless amount of problems along the way, the album Trollskau, Skrømt og Kølabrenning (Trollish Woods, Wraiths and Coalburning) was finally finished in the summer of 2006 and released in October that same year. It features eleven Folk-inspired Extreme Metal songs with a lyrical inspirational basis in old stories and tales from the municipality of Ringerike in Norway, where Lars grew up and still lives.
Since the band appreciates making sure of that what it releases holds a certain quality, you should be prepared for that it will take a couple of years before anything new is unleashed under the name of Myrkgrav.

No pointy guitars were used in the making of this music!
Yes, we did :D it's actually about vikings who get drunk on their journey to invade England, instead of reaching the English coasts they crash on the Frisian shores, floating on beer barrels.
Ompakara med selveste Benny Borg på laget, har spilt inn ny og heftig versjon av den legendariske Balladen om Morgan Kane.
Det 12 manns store Elverumsorkesteret med Balkansound og patent på Gangsterpolka , har denne gangen kastet seg på Mariachiompa genren, hvor den Mexicanske Mariachitropmeten kommer til sin rett.
Ompakaras fele høres denne gangen ut som en Marimba , banjoen er bytta ut med stringswing flamenco gitar, og det trente øre vil høre et godt gammeldags 70 talls stueorgel vugge med.
Elverum mannskor preger et av Norges mest brukte refreng; Morgan Kane var hans navn. Kontakt.; Ivar Nergaard, 91793129, ivar@ompakara.no Harde fakta:
Morgan Kane trekker på 1/5 dels sekund
Morgan kane trekker over 1000 ganger iløpet av balladen om Morgan Kane.
New album: “MORBIDE ELITE” - coming soon on Iron Age Records !
Since worldwide crisis with wars and famine are a true human pain, the drunk poor pest-brewing trolls got their good times. Since their pact with the crows their succes became giant. The drunk trolls are dead, the New Elite is born. We write in times where people are praying their God for forgiving their sins, to keep away His thorn of disease. Expect a mindblowing fast black metal masterpiece with a confronting sound of medieval infecting grief. The whole world is dying.
My new 3 album box set ODESSA delves into the disgusting involvement the United States government had in hiding Nazi war criminals that were deemed, "intelligence assets", to be used against the Russians. ODESSA also examines the enthusiastic role the Franciscan Order, Argentinian and Chilean Governments, and Arab leaders who hated the Jews played in hiding and finding new homes for former fascists. It seems many nations had a reason to keep these monsters from being captured, and this is my attempt to expose the establishment of a Fourth Reich in South America that still exists to this day.
