Myrkvar is storming the Dutch and international metalstages since 2004 with their energetic folk/viking metal. The characteristic sound of the bands is best described as a mix between merry folk and rapid energetic guitar-riffs with banging drums.

The fierce screams and grunts are alternated with clean vocals which creates a real folk-atmosphere. During their gigs Myrkvar has shared the stage with famous bands like Turisas, Korpiklaani, Finntroll, Heidevolk, Arkona, Thyrfing, and Månegarm.

After several demos Myrkvar released their debut-album Als een woeste Horde in 2008, and many live shows followed. In 2010 the band began working on a second full album, a concept album with stories about Ragnarok, inspired by Nordic Mythology as found in the Edda.

The album As en Bloed was released in 2012; its Dutch title translates into "Ash and Blood", but also "Blood of the Æsir" (asenbloed). For merchandise go to: http://www.myrkvar.nl/?location=storeCurrent line-upHrabnilaz - Keyboards & VocalsUruz - GuitarFusilan - ViolinHerubern - BassArbudon - Drums
