Respected heavy-music outlet The Obelisk has featured Mörkekraft’s latest single “Kaleidoscope,” describing it as a natural and more expansive evolution from our debut track “Ghosts.”
Reviewer JJ Koczan notes how the new song “aligns more to a garage-doom kind of groove” and praises the rhythmic swing and tonal depth that define the track. He draws parallels to Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats while emphasizing that Mörkekraft’s sound is uniquely their own:
“The newer cut is a bit more expansive and a bit less direct in its execution, which is to say it’s more of a swing than a drive rhythmically.”
The article compares “Kaleidoscope” and “Ghosts” side by side, pointing out how both songs showcase strong production, detailed arrangement, and a sense of build:
“The band’s initial public offering showcased metallic underpinnings brought forth with attention to detail and craft… a cool mix that unveils its next level of tonal heft.”
Koczan concludes by expressing enthusiasm for what comes next, calling Kaleidoscope the second piece in a promising beginning trilogy and saying he looks forward to the band’s next release.
The piece also includes the official Kaleidoscope video, directed and edited by Roger Henriksen using AI-generated visuals, alongside the Bandcamp embed of Ghosts — giving readers a full glimpse of Mörkekraft’s evolving sonic universe.
