Morke Gravers Kammer is the third full-length album from Khold. Recorded in Norway and completed following the band's 2003 European tour with Satyricon, Morke Gravers Kammer (The Gravediggers Dark Chamber) is an eclectic collection of fast and mid-tempo tracks that features the Olso-based band's simple yet commanding take on the extreme style. The album features artwork by illustrious Norwegian photographer Marcel Leliënhof. He further directed the band's first video for album track "Dod."

Drummer/founder Sarke says, "the songs on this album are strong and the Khold trademark is there all the way. We have our own take on black metal. We offer something different within the genre and that can only be positive."


Formed in 2000, Khold have released two albums to critical acclaim. Their sound has been likened to an updated Bathory. Digital Metal noted of Masterpiss of Pain (2001), "a measured form of aggression; a mid-paced mauling that hits slow, strikes fast, and leaves you bludgeoned." Highwire Daze says of Phantom (2002), "a terrifying slab of extreme terror."
