Mork - Dypet

 

Monochromatic. Unrelenting. Sublime. Such is the magic of Mork, and has been since their inception in 2004. There is a bleak poetry to their compositions and a power behind tracks their new album, Dypet that can't help but to engage fans and draw them into the wondrous layers of darkness that have come to shape the bleak unrealities that have made Mork such an engaging project for so many. This latest offering, the bands sixth full length is another testament to just how talented they are and how their vision has seen them grow with time. 

Mork's work has always looked back at the glory days of Norwegian black metal, with influences of artists like Taake and Darkthrone shining brightly onto the wolfs lair abyss that they create. Of course, Mork is creating with the benefit of hindsight and using those classic elements in order to craft something that is larger than life and strangely beautiful. Mork have found a way to capture the imagination with Dypet that hearkens back to the power of the genre in the 90's and the transcendence that they touch on with this record speaks to the bleak overarching vision they have been crafting for the better part of two decades now. 

In brief - I'm always going to get down with bands who are as obsessed with Darkthrone as I am, but Mork have found a way to really capitalize on that, adding to the legacy and conjuring up a sound that, while very reminiscent of the 90s classics feels firmly rooted in the 2020s. The group have been able to evolve what they've done for years now and refine it into something bleak and resolutely powerful. It's black metal that will capture your imagination and get you coming back eternally to the twisted sorrow found within.
