While at home amongst the shadows, Mörk Gryning have been a blazing force in black metal since the early '90s. The melodic Swedes refuse to yield to trends, honoring their feral countrymen by carving out raw, apocalyptic symphonies. Their upcoming new album, Fasornas Tid,is scrawled in the same sacred and bloody ink as their seminal debut, yet remains drenched in the visceral immediacy of the present.
The ferocity of the album's new single is unmatched. "Black Angel" leads listeners through a dystopian landscape, blending melodic black metal mastery and the savagery of death metal.
Listen to "Black Angel" below.
Fasornas Tid is out December 13th on Season of Mist.

Recorded, mixed and mastered at Wing Studios by Sverker Widgren, Fasornas Tid promises to be a journey through the darkest corners of the human psyche. With album artwork crafted by the enigmatic C-G, every aspect of this release speaks to the unyielding spirit and dark, rebellious heart of Mörk Gryning.
Mörk Gryning was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1993 by Goth Gorgon and Draakh Kimera. Two years later they released their debut album “Tusen År Har Gått” (1995), recorded and mixed at Unisound Studios, by legendary producer Dan Swanö and released by No Fashion. The album is one of the milestones of the ‘90s Swedish Black Metal scene.
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” album. Over the following years, three more albums were released, for example “Maelstrom Chaos” with new guitarist Avathar, a scene veteran, recorded at the legendary Grieghallen Studios Bergen, Norway.
Ever since the debut album, “Tusen år har gått…”, Mörk Gryning has refused to follow in the footsteps of others and 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”. During the pandemic the comeback album “Hinsides Vrede” was released to much critical acclaim with many of the songs today being the backbone of their live shows. A new album is scheduled for release in 2024 and the band is more active than ever.
