Í Myrkri are a band from Denmark that plays a very cold, harsh and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Bag Skyggernes Slør" which will be released in November by Wolfspell Records.
Sounds of winds and synths start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic along with the music also adding in a decent mixture of both old school and modern influences as well as one of the tracks also being an instrumental, when guitar leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style.
Í Myrkri plays a style of black metal that is very raw and aggressive sounding as well as mixing the 90's style synth with a more modern day aggression. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Danish and cover the depths of the unknown, the unfathomable and the uncertain.
In my opinion Í Myrkri are a very great sounding cold, harsh and atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Solens Stund Svinder" and "Hinsides Skyggehavet". 8 out of 10.
