With their previous full-lengths (»Musta luonto«, 2016 and »Orto«, 2020), the band won praise and admiration from both audiences and critics. Their fusion of black metal and punk energy has matured through years of struggle and perseverance. Born out of global turmoil and personal upheaval, this album channels raw experience into re-forged anthems of defiance.
The title, »Del III: Dödsångestens fågelsång« (“The Birdsong of Death Anxiety”), captures the spirit of the record.
“It’s about cutting ties with the past, burying the world’s suffering, and rising from years of adversity into a new era, a new world, and new possibilities,” declares vocalist Erik Sigvard.
Musically, the album reveals a more refined and mature Mørket: streamlined in expression, yet lyrically more powerful than ever. The arrival of guitarist Arttu Hurme brought fresh vitality to the band’s sound with razor-sharp riffs and songwriting. The lyrics continue the unique interplay between Finnish and Swedish that distinguished their previous album.

With »Del III: Dödsångestens fågelsång«, the band is armed and ready once more to bring their blistering live assault to audiences at home and abroad.
