30) MÖRK GRYNING - Fasornas Tid (Season Of Mist)

 

Black metal fans are in for a devilish treat when Mörk Gryning’s Fasornas Tid crashes the shelves on December 13. BraveWords has been devouring the 7th full-length from the Swedish slayers – an elite concoction of brutally melodic war roaring metal that takes its victims as quick as a swing of the scythe. Fasornas Tid begins our BravePicks countdown at #30.

Mörk Gryning was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1993 by Goth Gorgon and Draakh Kimera. Two years later they released their debut album Tusen År Har Gått (1995), recorded and mixed at Unisound Studios, by legendary producer Dan Swanö and released by No Fashion. The album is one of the milestones of the ‘90s Swedish black metal scene.

Fasornas Tid pays a brutal homage to the scene's raw ferocity and ageless spirit with a dystopian symphony that's driven by an insatiable hunger for self-destruction.
