When Death Comes Crawling

Murkfä now releases his new song “When Death Comes Crawling”. His music is a fascinating mix of country rock with elements of folk and blues, creating an uplifting atmosphere. Murkfä describes his music as something that makes the listener happy, which is an important aspect of his artistic expression. His ability to combine these genres into a unique and engaging sound makes him an artist to watch.

The song “When Death Comes Crawling” was born out of a personal tragedy but transformed into a tribute to life and friendship. After Murkfä’s friend Catarina passed away in January 2023, he found comfort and inspiration in nature. During walks and runs in the forest, a song began to take shape as a way to process the grief. Instead of getting stuck in darkness and loss, Murkfä chose to focus on the positive memories and the celebration of the time they had together. The chorus and the first verses of “When Death Comes Crawling” came quickly, and the rest developed naturally during his forest outings. By recording the song as a dedication to Catarina, Murkfä found a way to close a chapter in his life and at the same time give listeners a deeper understanding of how music can be a powerful tool for healing and reflection.

Creating “When Death Comes Crawling” was a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience, says Murkfä. As his first solo studio production, the process was full of learning and self-discovery. Time in the studio flew by as he experimented with vocals and guitar riffs, and he felt a great sense of satisfaction with the finished result. A particularly memorable moment was when an intended violin riff was replaced by his own humming – a spontaneous decision that turned out to be one of the song’s most unique parts. Now, in conjunction with the release of the song, Murkfä is both nervous and excited to see how it is received. He hopes that his music can speak to others and give them something valuable, while he is already grateful for every person who takes the time to listen. The next step? Returning to the studio and continuing to create music that touches and inspires.
