KRAPYL emerged from the shadowed, mist-laden forests of Telemark in 2022 — a region rich in mystery and folklore.

In 2023, they unleashed their ferocious debut EP, Før Alt. A raw and relentless declaration of intent, it strikes with ferocity, evoking comparisons to titans like Emperor and Hypocrisy. Since that defining moment, Krapyl has been forging an unyielding path through the dark recesses of Norway’s underground metal scene.

As a black metal force, Krapyl delivers thunderous blast beats akin to artillery fire, frostbitten tremolo riffs that cut to the bone, and eerie, melodic passages steeped in darkness. Their live shows are cold, brutal, and uncompromising displays of sheer intensity.

Now entrenched in the studio, the band is conjuring their next full-length creation — a looming behemoth that approaches with the power and inevitability of a black storm brewing on the horizon.

The future of Norwegian black metal has never been darker — yet somehow, it has never shone brighter.

In 2018, the band released their debut EP, Void Emissions, a 30-minute auditory exploration into the depths of the macabre. Building on this foundation, they followed up with their second EP, Null Dimensions, in 2020. Their first full-length album, Dystopian Distributions of Mass Produced Narcotics, was released in 2024, solidifying their reputation for producing music that is both heavy and riff-centric.

In recent years, Morpholith has made multiple visits to Norway, where their performances have been met with critical acclaim. During their appearance at Høstsabbat 2024, a representative from Disharmoni remarked: "The band delivered crushing doom and psychedelic sludge that made the walls shake. Led by Snæbjörn Þór Árnason, also known from Nyrst, on vocals, they transformed the crypt into their own cavernous domain. The next time this band returns to Norway, it is an event not to be missed."
