I interviewed Lars Jensen,  the one behind the  MYRKGRAV project. 01. Hi Lars! Do you remember when and how you founded Myrkgrav ?  Myrkgrav was born out of the simple fact that I wanted to compose the music I would personally enjoy listening to, which is a common factor I share with many, many other artists. It was back in 2003 when I began fiddling with the more folk- and viking influenced side of extreme metal, after listening to mostly Norwegian black metal for a few years, but also having recently discovered that I quite enjoyed Scandinavian folk music as well as bands like Månegarm, Otyg, Vintersorg, Fejd (which was quite young in the game at the time) and the likes.
