Myrkvar is a Folk Metal band with Black Metal influences. The album "Als een Woeste Horde" will appear in september 2008. Before the release the band had already supported bands like Korpiklaani, Ancient Rites and Trail of Tears.

For Myrkvar, it all began early 2003. The "On Broken Wings" demo was soon released in 2004. This demo is Myrkvar's old black metal style.
After some line-up changes, the style of music changed. The Folk/Viking-infuences where added and became more dominant, though black metal was kept as the basis of the music. The violin and keyboards give the music a catchy and folky atmosphere.
In 2006 the promo-song "I Viking" was recorded. This is the first release that has Myrkvar's folk element.

Late 2006 the band started with the recordings of their first full-length album. Shortly after the recordings Eburaz and Hjorulf left the band. Arbudon replaced Eburaz on drums. The band decided not search for a new guitar player of vocalist. The guitar parts are done by Uruz alone, and the vocals by Hrabnilaz, Herubern and Uruz.
