Str�van - "striving" or "endeavour" - is the third album of the anonymous Swedish black metal duo MURG. Str�van finalizes the trilogy begun in 2015 with the debut album Varg och Bj�rn (Wolf and bear) and was continued with Gudatall (Godpine). Here in this final chapter, humankind as we know it with all our flaws and perversions no longer exists: a new form is created, a perfect beast born to sacrifice itself to end the entire universe. "Str�van" is the long audial march to the altar of cosmic destruction.Murg's pitch black metal is driven by slow-paced, churning riffs imbued with stoic darkness and aggressive pride, sinister and somber meandering throughout it's eight tracks. Similar to the terse song titles, Murg works with a musical sparseness: tightly-knit structures without frills or special effects, straight to the bone but never simplistic or predictable. A noble and inhuman fare thee well to creation, towering and defiant in it's uncompromising delivery.
