History

Their music consists of high speed double-bass with rapid blastbeats and fills. Guitars are made up of harmonic tremolo picking and sometimes power chords with fast solos composed by Destructhor who, along with Secthdamon, were members in Zyklon. Their debut album Deathmachine is a hybrid of black metal and death metal. Their second album Superior Massacre is much more death metal-oriented with more prominent bass-lines and less tremolo picked riffs.

The name 'Myrkskog' is a translation of the Norwegian word for 'Mirkwood'. Destructhor joined Morbid Angel in 2008 and departed in 2015. Secthdamon is a live member for Emperor.

The current line-up is guitarist/vocalist Destructhor, guitarist/backing vocalist Secthdamon, bassist Demariel (or Gortheon) and drummer Dominator. Secthdamon changed from drums to guitar in 2013. Myrkskog has released two full-Length albums through the UK's Candlelight Records. Their second studio album, Superior Massacre, also contains material by the Norwegian experimental duo Epilektrician, used as intro and outro. According to the band's official Instagram page, they are currently in the process of recording new material for a third album, expected in 2022 and will be the band’s first new material released in 20 years.

Myrkskog — норвежская блэк-дэт-метал-группа, которая прорвалась на метал-сцену Норвегии в 1993 году, однако уже на следующий год опустилась в андеграунд[3]. В 1998 году они сделали популярную в андеграунде демозапись Apocalyptic Psychotica — The Murder Tape, которая открыла им дорогу на Candlelight Records[3]. Дебютный альбом Deathmachine был издан в 2000 году. Тёплая реакция поклонников способствовала изданию второго альбома Superior Massacre (2002)[3].
