\"Takk og farvel; tida er blitt ei annen\" is Myrkgrav's second full-length album, following the 2006 debut \"Trollskau, skrømt og kølabrenning\". Takk og farvel represents a natural progression from what the debut album showcased: proper folk metal with roots in the blacker side of the extreme metal genres.

Myrkgrav is a one-man folk metal project founded in 2003 by Lars Jensen in Norway. The band is heavily concept-based, with lyrical and visual themes rooted in folklore and local history from Lars' homelands, Ringerike and its surroundings.
Myrkgrav relies strongly on Norwegian folk music (including the use of traditional instruments) in its sound, while retaining a distinct extreme metal basis, such as to aspire towards bringing folk and metal together like it was the most natural thing in the world. What started out as a bedroom black metal project in 2003, has evolved to become a fusion of several different styles.
In addition to Lars Jensen himself, Myrkgrav often features guest members that add their own flare to the sound.
