about

Draugurinn is still determined into turning your living space into an ancient, Pagan meditation place, and even better now than on Daudada, the previous offering. Draugurinn has obviously progressed. Of course, speaking of something this ancient sounding, "progressed" might not the best of words. Let's say "went farther than before" and leave it at that.

Whereas the gloomy dark ambient of Daudada left a lot to the listener's imagination, Myrkraverk gives more hints. Nothing obvious, nothing flashy, still murky, still questioning, still transcending, but this time the space in time is slightly more tangible. Now the voices you hear are actually voices, namely whispers and wails, awakened from who knows when, but it was in a place audibly cold, dark, wet and barren. Yes, audibly, because, why wouldn't sound be perfectly able to describe space? No reason why not, really. And Draugurinn do it.

The basic percussion has now evolved into sparse ritualistic percussion done by using shamanic instruments, and when not entranced, it is actually scary. But necessary. Whatever was forgotten didn't deserve it, and needs to be remembered even if the memories aren't comfortable. Once, this was sacred. Today, it needs to be remembered and revered again. Maybe Myrkraverk is just a memory, maybe it is a warning. As a matter of fact if you try reading Alan Weisman's The World Without Us while listening to Myrkraverk, it will be one hell of a warning. (8.5/10)

Spíra
by Draugurinn

supported by 9 fans who also own “Myrkraverk”

With the crackling of the four-logged flame, the rustling of falling leaves, the slow grinding of stone to soil; the slanting light of the waning sun, the lilting call of the ram’s horn, and the subtle-warm voice of the high priestess, the ancient Swedish harvest festival begins. Let Draugurinn’s latest evocative, site-specific dark ambient masterpiece take you there. Dave Aftandilian

Primordial
by Paleowolf

supported by 8 fans who also own “Myrkraverk”

'Paleowolf' is on the forefront of the new-ambient genre. Echo the footprints of a forgotten world, still resonating through history and "the ages". Strap yourself in, and let yourself be transported to an ancient world filled with unknown peril. reb1138

Very calm, soothing, yet strong and evocative melodies. Great introduction into the world of Forndom and a true, even if a bit short, escape from the world of men. Anders Kvistr

This album sounds a bit more rough and raw to me, compared to "Móðuharðindin" for example. But thats totally fine. Really enjoyable Dark Ambient. ᛉ Heidan Frihals ᛉ
