Their music can be characterized by elegantly composed rhythms, floating sound of typical folk-instruments like bagpipes, flutes and violins, in an electronica-composition that supports the dramatic lyrics. Some tracks on Mark II are up-beat with only few lyrics and could also be characterized as dance or techno.
The lyrics are old stories from Danish folk tradition, about jealousy, murder and creatures. In Kirstin from Mark II a father serves a meal of his daughter's boyfriend's heart for her. In Ulver from Mark III a man takes his girlfriend into the forest to kill her and bury her without her knowledge. He falls asleep and she cuts him in pieces with his own sword.
Sorten Muld has also published a concept album called Jord, Luft, Ild, Vand (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) – a mostly instrumental journey through the classic elements. The album is a remastered recording from a live show at Bornholm.

Sorten Muld Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
fuglesang som hjertet måtte røre
I de dybe dale
Mellem nattergale
og de andre fugle små som tale
Da jeg kom ud i græsset det grønne
mødte jeg aller kæresten min den skønne
har lokket så mangen ungkarl fine"
Se hvad jeg har fundet
Så smuk en ungkarl vundet
Bedste venner ere og bliver

The sound of their singing touched their heart as they roamed through the deep valleys and among the nightingales and other small birds. As the person walked through the green grass, they met their beloved who had attracted many young suitors with her beautiful eyes and proud demeanor. Despite the attention she received, she had chosen the singer as her partner, and they became the best of friends.
The song evokes a sense of joy, as the singer sets out on a leisurely walk and discovers the pleasures of nature. The birds' songs become a source of inspiration and solace, and the green grass adds a sense of tranquility and calmness to the scene.
