Mörk Gryning

Mörk Gryning (the name translates to "dark dawn") was formed in 1993 by the duo of Goth Gorgon and Kimera, the pair remaining the core of the band until early 2004 when Kimera departed. Their early work is more in the traditional black metal camp, but by the time of 2003's (Pieces Of Primal Expressionism the band had progressed a good deal, incorporating death and progressive elements along with their black metal base, forging a relatively unique and quite accomplished sound. Goth Gorgon disbanded the group in 2005, citing a lack of interest in extreme metal, though they survived long enough to complete their fifth, self-titled album. In 2016 Gorgon reunited with Kimera and the band was reborn.

Recent album: Fasornas Tid, released on December 13, 2024.
