History & Biography
Alongside Potentiam (which featured drummer Skog), a forerunner of the Icelandic scene, Myrk traced its roots to guitarist Myrkur in 1995. Members came and members went. These included drummer Aðalbjörn Tryggvason of Sólstafir. Things began moving when Skog and Myrkur found themselves in Mictian in 2000. This project fell apart amidst internal disagreement. The band issued a demo, called Promo 2002, through Ketzer Records in 2002. This was in fact a compilation of the group’s recently issued demos. An album, which turned out to be the sole one, appeared in late 2003. The band split up next.

Myrk translates into ‘dark’ in Icelandic. Drummers in Iceland are not any different than the ones from elsewhere. Skog would be in and out of projects regularly.
