MÖRK GRYNING sign to Season of Mist

Season of Mist are proud to announce the signing of the legendary Swedish black metal formation MÖRK GRYNING. In the last years, the Swedes have returned to the stage triumphantly with live performances in Stockholm (Sweden), at Party San Open Air (Germany) and at Eindhoven Metal Meeting (the Netherlands). Now, they're ready to head to the studio to record a new album.

Regarding the signing, the band
comments: "The sleepers are asleep no more. The dead are resting peacefully no more. After many years of slumber, the old flame of chaos has flared up once again to fill our hearts and souls.

We are very proud to announce that our new album will be released under the banner of Season of Mist. A label not only known for their extremely strong collection of artists, but also for their professional and honest work over many years.

This album is a creation of MÖRK GRYNING's original members Goth Gorgon and Draakh Kimera with contributions from members who were part of us on later releases.

Music wise, it returns to the melody based, straightforward style of the debut "Tusen år har gått" with hellish blast beats alternated with epic pagan rhythms and acoustic breaks. A furious assault upon the civilized world and a descent into the nether regions of the world beyond. Join us into the maelstrom!"


MÖRK GRYNING previously released a live-EP of their 2017 reunion show in Stockholm. Listen to 'Live at Kraken' via Bandcamp!

MÖRK GRYNING was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1993 by Goth Gorgon and Draakh Kimera. The debut album "Tusen År Har Gått" (1995), was recorded at Unisound Studios, produced by Dan Swanö and released by No Fashion.

The group returned to action in November 1996, working at Sunlight Studios together with Tomas Skogsberg and DISMEMBER's Fred Estby to craft the "Return Fire" record. This album would include their interpretation of SLAYER's "Necrophiliac".

Returning in 2000 along with guitarist Avathar, a scene veteran, the band wrote "Maelstrom Chaos" at the legendary Grieghallen Studios Bergen, Norway. In January of 2004, MÖRK GRYNING cut their rendition of "Neverwhere" for an AT THE GATES tribute album "Slaughterous Souls - A Tribute To At The Gates" released through Drowned Scream Records.

Ever since the debut album, "Tusen år har gått…", MÖRK GRYNING have refused to follow in the footsteps of others and have walked their own paths - something which is made very clear on the 2003 release "Pieces of Primal Expressionism", an experimental and heavy progressive release recorded at Dug out, produced by Daniel Bergstrand. After a couple of years of touring and festival performances, the band was put on-hold.

Returning to the scene again in 2017, the band performed an exclusive live show in Stockholm playing all the songs from the debut album and some other songs from the back catalogue. This ended in releasing the 4-song live record called “Live at Kraken”.
