Progressive Extreme metal duo Mylingen have released a lyric video for the track “Ett Dödens Bud,” taken from their new album “Under En Svart Himmel” due out on June 21, 2024.
Watch the lyric video for “Ett Dödens Bud” through the YouTube player below:
Mylingen was founded by Swedish multi-instrumentalist Viktor Jonas in 2022 from the ashes of his previous band Apathy Noir, which he disbanded after 16 years. The band’s name derives from ‘myling‘ who, in Scandinavian Folklore, were the incarnations of the souls of unwanted children; killed by their mothers and forced to wander the earth until they could convince someone to bury them properly.
In a recent interview with Viktor said about the new work:
“I wanted to write an album that could convey feelings and thoughts about a number of themes, such as ageing and death, but I also wanted to include some stories from Swedish folklore. For example, the track I Vattnets Mörka Djup is about a being called Näcken who has a dark and fascinating history.”
The choice to sing and write lyrics in their own language is by no means accidental: “One of the reasons was […] to maintain a certain atmosphere.I think that writing and singing in one’s mother tongue gives a deeper meaning and authenticity to the material. Of course it’s also a way to get away from the trends of music that is usually released.”
