Mork - Dypet

 

Genre: Black
Country: Norway
Year: 2023

1. Indre Demoner
2. Forført Av Kulden
3. Svik
4. Et Kall Fra Dypet
5. Høye Murer
6. Bortgang
7. Avskum
8. Tilbake Til Opprinnelsen

6th album by Mork. The music takes on more of an almost cinematic approach to black metal than it has previously and this is what elevates the record. It is still an evil sounding black metal album and the misanthropic heaviness is what ultimately propels it to greater heights, it is just enhanced by its epic nature and the results are exhilarating.
