This is\u00a0Myrkur.<\/p>\n

More precisely, that is\u00a0Danish musician Amalie Bruun, who for a period, was the unknown sole entity behind\u00a0Myrkur.<\/p>\n

It’s her voice and her vision that drove the release of 2015’s ‘M’,\u00a0especially the atmospheric and haunting vocal passages that shine with their euro-folk gothic metal siren songs, but it was her choice in musicians to fill out the black metal aspects that brings such a unique composition to life.<\/p>\n

Fans of the genre might recognize\u00a0Teloch of Mayhem and Nidingr on guitars, with \u00d8yvind Myrvoll of Nidingr and Dodheimsgard on drums, which gives\u00a0Myrkur all the cred it should need to exist, if not in, then right next to the black metal genre. There are purists which will call this out as something else, and they are probably right to some degree… but that shouldn’t take away from the lovely blackness that is\u00a0Myrkur.<\/p>\n

A second album is slated to be released in the fall of 2017. The title is “Mareridt” (which translates to \u201cNightmare\u201d) and will come out on Relapse Records.<\/p>\n

An advance song has been offered to the willing with the name of ‘Ulvinde’.<\/p>\n

Musically, the song features a wall of droning, distorted guitars as Bruun\u2019s ghostly voice brings a reprieve from the darkness, until a throat-ripping scream threatens the listener in the middle.<\/p>\n
