Like any Viking band worth its weight in plunder, Myrkgrav sings in his native Norwegian, albeit in the Ringeriks dialect. To this non-Norwegian speaker this means absolutely nothing, but Myrkgrav asserts that this is a more direct and personal way of speaking. The themes revolve around typical romantic nationalist topics -- though it must be noted that Jensen explicitly distances himself from the more radical elements.

An auspicious debut from a talent we will certainly be seeing more of in the future. My only hope is that he obtains a more distinctive sound.
