The name 'Myrkskog' is a translation of the Norwegian word for 'Mirkwood'. Destructhor joined Morbid Angel in 2008 and departed in 2015. Secthdamon is a live member for Emperor since 2005.
The current line-up is guitarist/vocalist Destructhor, guitarist/backing vocalist Secthdamon, bassist Demariel (or Gortheon), and drummer Dominator. Secthdamon changed from drums to guitar in 2013. Myrkskog has released two full-length albums through UK's Candlelight Records. Their second studio album, Superior Massacre, contains material by Norwegian experimental duo Epilektrician as intro and outro. According to the band's official Instagram page, they were recording material for a third album, which would be band’s first new material released in over 20 years.
