Myrkgrav is a Norwegian blackened folk metal band with a single member, Lars Jensen. Jensen founded the band in 2003 and released a demo in 2004 entitled "Fra fjellheimen kaller..." (English: "From The Mountain Home Calls...'"). His first album, Trollskau, skrømt og kølabrenning (Trollish Woods, Wraiths and Coalburning), was released on 27 October 2006. The lyrics are about local history, legends and folklore from Ringerike, Lommedalen and Hole,[1] from around the 17th century to the end of the 19th century. The songs are sung in a local Norwegian dialect.[2]
