Misþyrming ( transcribed Misthyrming ; dt. "Mistreatment") is an Icelandic black metal - band . The Reykjavík Grapevine newspaper counts the group among the most important representatives of the Icelandic black metal scene.
history
As a solo project, Misyrming was launched by DG in 2013 while he was still in high school. At that time he had already run the tape label Vánagandr together with his school friend and later bassist of the group, Tomas Isdal. On February 7, 2015, their debut album was released on the Norwegian label Terratur Possessions, while Fallen Empire Records was responsible for vinyl sales a short time later. In the same year the group performed at the Nidrosian Black Mass V Festival near the Belgian capital Brussels. In 2016 there were appearances at the Eistnaflug Festival and the Roadburn Festival , which received numerous positive reviews and made the group better known due to their outstanding performance. The Metal Hammer counted Misþyrming among the 10 best bands in Iceland in 2016. On January 10, 2017, the split EP Ivory Stone / Hof was released in collaboration with Sinmara. The song material for the second album, which had already been in production since 2016, but was then completely re-recorded and professionally recorded again between autumn 2017 and 2018 due to the low budget, was released on May 22, 2019 via Norma Evangelium Diaboli. Accompanied by label mates Darvaza and Vortex of End, Misþyrming then headlined on a European tour. An appearance at the Swiss La Dernière Messe Festival has also been announced.
reception
The diversity, dynamism and complexity of the compositions are praised. Sometimes comparisons are made with older works by Behemoth and the Swedish Naglfar in terms of atmosphere and melody .
