Биография

Combining traditional Scandinavian folk music with contemporary electronic beats, the Danish trio Sorten Muld (meaning Black Soil)comprised Ulla Bendixen, Martin Døssing Ottosen and Henrik Esben Munch. Debuting in 1996 with a self-titled LP, a year later the group returned with Mark II, a hugely successful effort which earned no less than eight Danish Grammy nominations. III followed five years later. In 2002 Sorten Muld published a concept album called Jord, Luft, Ild, Vand (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) – a mostly instrumental journey through the classic elements. It was self-published and was only available to buy from their website. In 2020 Sorten Muld expects to release a new album. For more details visit their website. Their music can be characterized by elegantly composed rhythms, floating sound of typical folk-instruments like bagpipes, flutes and violins, in an electronica-composition that supports the dramatic lyrics. Some tracks on Mark II are up-beat with only few lyrics and could also be characterized as dance or techno. The lyrics are old stories from Danish folk tradition, about jealousy, murder, mythology and creatures. In "Kirstin" (Mark II) a father serves his daughter a meal of her boyfriend's heart. In "Ulver" (III )a man takes his girlfriend into the forest to kill and bury her. He falls asleep and she cuts him into pieces with his own sword.
