Swedish black metal veterans unleash a dark new chapter rooted in Nordic tradition, history, folklore and melancholy
Swedish black metal veterans Myhrding have officially released their new EP, “Echoes from the Past,” through Downfall Records.
Nearly two decades after forming in the deep, dark woods of Sweden, Myhrding continue to forge a distinctly Nordic form of black metal rooted in Swedish history, folklore, anger, sorrow and melancholy.
Formed in 2006, Myhrding have spent the past 20 years developing their own interpretation of the Nordic black metal tradition. Rather than simply looking toward the past, the band channels the atmosphere and spirit of Sweden’s darker history into music that feels both ancient and fiercely alive.
“Echoes from the Past” features five tracks exploring themes of death, history, destruction, humanity and the inevitable darkness that surrounds it all. The EP opens with “The Genesis of Death,” followed by “Småland,” “Echoes from the Past,” “Ruins of Mankind,” and “Den Slutgiltliga Striden.”
The new release continues a discography that stretches back to the band’s 2008 debut demo, followed by the 2011 Myhrding Mini-CD, 2012’s “A Legacy Of Shadows,” 2014’s “Nordens Mörkaste Kapitel,” and 2016’s “1350.” With “Echoes from the Past,” Myhrding add another chapter to a catalog built on the raw and atmospheric spirit of Swedish black metal.
At its core, Myhrding’s music is driven by a combination of anger, sadness, melancholy and folklore, creating a sound and atmosphere aimed squarely at listeners who appreciate black metal with deep roots in Nordic tradition.
