MRKLB

About the Release

“MRKLB” is an album by DVVAD from Hungary. The release places DVVAD within Atmospheric Black Metal and appeared in the Talheim Records Germany catalogue on 24 November 2023. In 2021 roughly half the future album had been demoed, the band had declined concerts to concentrate on it, and at least one new composition lasted fourteen minutes. The finished MRKLB reorganised the material as numbered movements and added keyboardist Márta Zoltán. A later Hungarian review identifies a guest vocal by Forczek Ádám in the second movement and credits the visual work to Grafithamu and Toldi Dániel. Those details show the distance between the original duo and the layered debut. The tracklist contains 4 tracks with a documented total running time of 42:56. It opens with “Mrklb I” and closes with “Mrklb Iv”. “Mrklb Iii” occupies the most space at 12:36. The catalogue lists the release as CD under TRG017CD.
