MÖRK GRYNING Announce Seventh Album Fasornas Tid
Ever since they emerged with one of the genre’s most important – and imposing – milestones in 1993, Mörk Gryning have stood as a shining example for the raw and timeless spirit of Swedish black metal. Not even a 15-year hiatus could slow this band’s unbridled fury from igniting the underground.
Now that they’ve returned, Mörk Gryning are more active than ever. Today, the band are announcing their seventh album. Fasornas Tid pays a brutal homage to the scene’s raw ferocity and ageless spirit with a dystopian symphony that’s driven by an insatiable hunger for self-destruction. Lead single “Tornet” will test even the most battle-tested metalhead’s with its blackened passage through psychological hell.
Fasornas Tid is out December 13th on Season of Mist.

“Tornet” storms ahead with unbridled fury. Featuring savage guest vocals from AVSLUT’s C, the lead single off Mörk Gryning’s new album seethes with the venom of death metal and melodic black metal. Meaning “The Tower” in English, the song symbolizes the ultimate torment, with the band rising to test the very threshold of suffering.

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.
