All mixing and mastering was crafed by Ludovic Tournier in Vacuum Tehiru Records Studios.
The cover artwork was created by Angelica Addo, with layout by Mythrid Art & WrathDesign.

MYRKVID was founded by Myrk in early 2007. After some line-up changes and two years of rehearsals, the band started playing shows in France, Belgium, Germany, etc. and recorded the first EP “Satanic Inquisition” in 2010, limited to 500 copies on CD.

In 2012, the band signed a production deal with the Swiss label Asgard Hass Production and released their first EP on vinyl, with live recordings from Sequane Fest III in France, where they played alongside acts like Aosoth and Urgehal.

At the end of the year 2015, the band has taken the decision to step back from live performances in order to focus on writing new material and to let the drummer more free time to play live shows with his other bands, namely Angantyr and Make A Change, Kill Yourself.

In early 2018, Myrk (guitars & vocals), Skogsvandrer (drums), and Askr (guitars), signed a new production deal with Immortal Frost Productions and entered the studio to record a new EP entitled “Demons Are Inside”.

In 2025, there was another line-up change and the band has welcomed  two new members: D.L.B. (bass) and Berghart (drums), replacing  Adramelech and Skogsvandrer. The live activity of the band is re-enforced and MYRKVID are part from events like Noche Oscura Festival, Forest Fest Open Air part.XIII, concerts with their fellow comrades  Malphas and Nocturnal, and more. Their new album,  “Nihilist”, is about to meet the world this year. Prepare for the bleakest of their works to date…
