"black metal that is at once savage and sylvan, capable of harrowing violence one moment and beauty the next" - NPR
"rife with innovation, spirit and individualism" - Decibel
"Brunn, a multi-instrumentalist and singer, illustrates that at this point she may very well understand second-wave Norwegian black metal better than some of its founders." 
- Pitchfork
"a queasy mix of black metal bile and phlegmatic Danish trad-folk" - SPIN


 Over the past year Danish black metal phenom, Myrkur, has stricken us one by one with her lush, brutal melodies that blend second-wave black metal, Nordic folk music, classical instrumentation and haunting choirs. Finally her highly anticipated debut metal masterpiece M is almost here.  

M was recorded in various locations of Oslo, Norway (including a tomb in Emanuel Vigeland's Museum) with co-producer Garm - the mastermind behind black metal legends Ulver.  Rounded out on record by members of Mayhem and Nidingr plus a guest appearance from Christopher Amott of Arch EnemyMyrkur has quickly established herself as one of the best and most intriguing acts in metal today. 

 
MYRKUR Live Dates:
August 22: Midgardsblot Metalfestiva - Borre, Norway
August 28: Emanuel Vigeland Museum - Oslo, Norway
