Umbra Cornuta Outstanding! This is the word to describe not only "Strävan", but Murg, as a proficient, unique swedish duo. Their ability to craft ferocious hymns, unsophisticated but with plenty of variety and melodic settings is truly impressive. This is an album that stayed with me over the years and I am sure I will keep it close for many years to come. And after hearing it hundreds of times, it still gives me the chills. Timeless, greatly atmospheric and catchy, this is, beyond doubt, a masterpiece! Favorite track: Renhet.

halfmartian You should get into Murg if you haven't already. The melodies and riffs, and there are plenty, are icy and wrapped in melancholic mist. This is a grey dawn of an album and I challenge you not to buy it after a brief listen. I fucking love this one. Favorite track: Stjärnan.

Daniel Brown A masterclass black metal album. The guitars here shine with blisteringly cold precision, hair-raisingly harmonic and delicious melodies, weaving through it's icy mist, entwined; it's fiery conviction leaving nothing but decimation. Favorite track: Renhet.

about

Strävan - "striving" or "endeavour" - is the third album of the anonymous Swedish black metal duo MURG. Strävan finalizes the trilogy begun in 2015 with the debut album Varg och Björn (Wolf and bear) and was continued with Gudatall (Godpine). Here in this final chapter, humankind as we know it with all our flaws and perversions no longer exists: a new form is created, a perfect beast born to sacrifice itself to end the entire universe. "Strävan" is the long audial march to the altar of cosmic destruction.

Murg's pitch black metal is driven by slow-paced, churning riffs imbued with stoic darkness and aggressive pride, sinister and somber meandering throughout its eight tracks. Similar to the terse song titles, Murg works with a musical sparseness: tightly-knit structures without frills or special effects, straight to the bone but never simplistic or predictable. A noble and inhuman fare thee well to creation, towering and defiant in its uncompromising delivery.
