NB! This is a preorder item - Releasedate is October 2nd 2026

Hailing from western Norway and Sweden, MØRKGRIM is a Norwegian/Swedish Folk-Black Metal entity devoted to occult heathen Norse traditions and the darker currents of the old ways. The debut, a concept album, is entitled "Sǫgur frá Norðfirði" (means "Tales from Nordfjord").

MØRKGRIM was founded in 1994 by Hrafngrímnir as a one-man Black Metal project during the golden years of the genre. Several songs were written in the early days, but never recorded, as Hrafngrímnir was active in other Black Metal bands at the time.

By 1999, he began to leave the Black Metal scene behind, feeling that the genre was losing its true soul and becoming something detached from its original spirit. He moved into other forms of music, still the old darkness never left him.

Decades later, Hrafngrímnir decided to awaken MØRKGRIM, but only if it could be done with the right spirit. He moved to a remote farm, far from modern comfort, where he still lives without ordinary modern utilities such as a flushing toilet or municipal water. There, surrounded by raw nature, silence and isolation, the first MØRKGRIM album was written and recorded. It is a tribute to raw nature, the old gods, ancient Norse magick, and the Old Ways, not as image, but as a way of life.

In 2023, Nils “Dominator” Fjellström joined MØRKGRIM. Known for his work with Dark Funeral, Aeon, In Battle, The Wretched End, Myrkskog and Nordjevel, his drumming brought a new level of violence and precision to the project.

Forged in isolation and rooted in the spirit of the early 90s, MØRKGRIM is Black Metal returned to its source with a blend of raw oldschool aggression and immersive acoustic folk/norse elements.

Heathen Black metal forged in the spirit of the ancient North. No compromise. No modern weakness. Only ancient rites, darkness and the hunger of the gods.
