MÖRK GRYNING Release Roaring Guitar Playthrough ‘Tornet’

Occultists have screamed their praises since the early ’90s, but Mörk Gryning are setting the underground on fire with their hellacious new album.

“Fasornas Tid sounds like a big deal black metal album: monstrous, perfectly paces and radiant with fine detail”, Blabbermouth raves.

“Ripping burners like ‘Tornet’…are prime examples why this album is putting all the fun into functional with no second wasted, rupturing eardrums with tasty riffs abounding”, No Clean Singing chimes in agreement.

As these cultishly beloved Swedes gear up to bring Fasornas Tid to international stages in 2025, today, the band are releasing a guitar playthrough of the album’s lead single. Armed with his trusty Jackson guitar and amplified by Neural DSP’s mighty Quad Cortex, axeman S-L storms through the twists and turns of the towering “Tornet”.

Formed in the chilling embrace of ’90s black metal, Mörk Gryning has always carved their own path, paying homage to their forebears while relentlessly pushing forward. On their new album, Mörk Gryning refuse to yield to trends, honoring their feral countrymen by carving out raw, apocalyptic symphonies. 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.

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.
