MYRKUR - "Nattens Barn" (Official Music Video)

[@JayordanC]

She's not getting attention because she's a woman, she's getting attention because this is better than 70% of other new black metal bands out there.

[@kjettingpunk]

Only 70%??

[@Rottensparrow]

actually she gets more attention than bands that deserve it

[@soylentgreen9672]

+Ringeistvonmordor And how is that her fault?

If you care about genres, you are most likely missing out on a great deal of good music. Just listen, and try to forget everything you ever have been taught. Ever.

[@Chickenviewer]

That's kinda dumb. We use labels and genre names because that's how language is used to share ideas. The scientific community does this so, why can't we? This has lead to doors opened because it helps me find more of the type of music I look for. "I like this artist, what's it called? Perturbator? And their music is called retro wave? Cool, now I can use Google to find more shit like it."

[@dahliafenr]

@@Chickenviewer you are applying scientific practice to a thing that is the opposite of it. Invalid argument.

[@SelflessResurrection]

You're an idiot. Also don't tell others what to do.

[@elijahtxt2334]

@@Chickenviewer I love death metal, black metal, nu metal, newer hip hop and rap and older hip hop. Classical, jazz, funk you name it the only music I don't listen to is generally most kind of of pop and country but there's even some exception for them. The thing is all these labels dont matter as long as you enjoy the music your listening to. I agree its fine to use names for music and no one ever said it was bad to use names but to limit yourself to one genre is closed minded. Also to compare art to science is irrelevant because science has set problems with solutions like math problems whereas music is subjective. Art should be explored with a open mind ya know.

[@sambell385]

@@elijahtxt2334 I agree with the close mindedness but that’s conditioning through society and governments, me being a black man people think I’m strange for listening to a huge variety of music/ hard rock , just like you my taste are almost identical to yours, but I’m primarily rock style is my first love, but I can listen anything even soul/R&B funk punk grunge a little bit of country and a little bit of pop, but I can’t stand much rap/ hip-hop at all

[@wolffan456]

seriously, why is she getting hate, she's very talented and very creative, I'm a huge fan, her music is very powerful and I'm definitely getting her next album

[@MysticleMonster]

It's like watching the commentary section of David Lynchs' Mulholland Drive.

[@robotx6259]

RIGHT. maybe it,s because she was pop singer before this. but yeah her vocals are great.

[@artemorbid]

agree

[@bayoutalon]

a good mix of nods to the old shit which we all love while adding a bit of a fresher sound without the need for overly complicated and dissonant stuff that some of the new stuff fetishizes.

[@cellasedui6061]

Black metal was a wave, it's over now. It was about being pissed off that we lost WWII. It was about being suppressed and being a violent, territorial European rebel who was forced to accept that they were going to lose their country, their people and their culture FOREVER.

[@sambell385]

@@cellasedui6061 thank you for explaining that because black metal seemed totally worthless to me with all that hollering and growling and angry guitars, I think they mostly called a growling stuff death metal , it seems like we ran into a period of time where everything with hard sounding guitars from UK/Europe area had growls in it

[@theheks7103]

She played the opening show for Behemoth and I must say I loved it far more live then anything else. it gave me goosebumps.

[@robotx6259]

good for you. i envy you.:)

[@ballsofdoom3124]

Heks Wolf Lucky girl! I love Amalie's voice... so hauntingly beautiful.

[@markfrancis6886]

I'm seeing them support Epica next weekend. I don't think I've been looking forward so much for at least 15 yrs. Could be stunning

[@TheInundation]

The guitar tone and the roughness in the pick hand on the riff that starts at 3:48 is awesome. Also the choral sounding vocal in the first minute is really neatly constructed. Found this through clicking a 'sponsored post' on my Facebook feed. It said "For fans of old Ulver". How could I not? I told myself "I'm never clicking a sponsored link like this again unless this Myrkur turns out to be good! Thanks to the label for putting the money into that bullshit. It worked.

[@jordangonda3846]

The Inundation Same here! damn sponsored post turned out well this time

[@Wolham]

I was actually thinking the opposite. Found the rest of the song decent but that part just seemed really out of place and cheaply constructed compared to the rest.

[@vesh666]

This is beautiful. The way she sings in the beginning was such a high for me. and the music was amazing to boot.

I love how people complain about "hipster" black metal. Isn't it more hipster to be claiming that black metal can only be a certain way?

[@blairerimmer7107]

It's neither

[@naughtygawd3269]

Count Fenriz "Dead" Occulta IMO BM is the most hipster-ish metal genre

[@margolianteberuthiel5405]

No, Black Metal can only be done in a certain way. Everybody who claims something else, does not know Black Metal. If you don't follow the way of trvue norvegian Black Metal, you need to put an addendum in front of Black Metal (just like "Atmospheric", "Melodic", "Symphonic", etc.) or you can call it Blackgaze. Or 3rd Wave BM, 4th Wave BM, whatever. But it's not essential Black Metal. Myrkur sounds great, btw...

[@naughtygawd3269]

Kíli Disson What about Bathory or Blasphemy? Are you going to say they aren't "black metal"

[@waever2691]

It's just not true Black Metal but it's a derivative that isn't worse, it's even really cool, but it's not true Black Metal. That's all

[@brianbullis1]

I think she knows exactly the sound she wants and captures it. I like it.

[@MaaritAuraOfficial]

[@sahilpurswani]

+Abraham Owen And this kind of mentality is the reason we as humans are in the situation we are. By the way I like the song and artist but I don't like it because Relapse signed them. If they are signed by this record label they must be good.... If so and so stuff is advertised/ endorsed by xyz person it must be good, we should by it.

This... I can honestly say this shit is intense. It's like a melancholic hyperblast of furious energy. It IS really unlike anything I've heard before, or least in the past few years. That riff at the beginning got stuck in my head for weeks now. And I can't wait to get my hands on the cd.

She was awesome supporting Epica last year, so I'm going to her headline show in Bristol in December. Can't wait

[@Epitaph1334]

Great video. I am really starting to love MYRKUR. The angelic, ethereal vocals, mixed with the harsh coldness of Danish black metal is really quite beautiful.

[@TheProxy1987]

4:55 the last section of this song always give me the chills, magnificent !

[@dollhousemassacre5490]

People always bring gender into it, if you're female you rarely even have a chance in this genre! I'm not a feminist or anything but it annoys me because I come across this sort of sexism a lot in this genre. I really love the rawness of it, people are saying it's simplistic & so on, that's the beauty of it. The melodies are chaotic & beautiful at the same time. Even if you don't like it, you have to be able to at least appreciate the fact that it's one person doing all of this. Can't wait to get the album!!

[@unwrittenwizard910]

Disagree, with metal in general, no matter the genre within, if the band and singer, male or female, are good enough they'll always make their way to the forefront.

[@sambell385]

@@unwrittenwizard910 I don’t know what dollhouse is talking about , women front 80% of the metal bands nowadays and get all the love just look at Epica Nightwish and tons of bands just like them , all fronted by women all big time and very loved stars in music

[@meratheafflictionwarlock]

Never heard of Myrkur before today, and at least so far I've absolutely loved everything that I've heard! A friend of mine had shared on facebook some interview where she tells about the death threats and other stuff, and I wonder how can people be so fricking childish? If they don't like the music, then they just ignore it. Well, at least all the hate gives her interviews and spreads knowledge of the music. I rarely like female vocals, but there's just something so beautiful about her voice. I have to hear more.

[@auggerautenrieth2317]

[@wjmckay]

I think the first time I heard the term"Black Metal" was when Venom released their album in 1980? I still listen to that early stuff like Mercyful Fate et al. But this MYRKUR music is so far beyond, no, light years beyond those old classics. If Amalie Bruun had been around in the 80's, she would have been the most famous female rocker on the planet. Her latest cultural material transcends any one genre. SHE IS A VISIONARY GODDESS!!!!!!

[@aader4693]

She fronted an electro pop band before this, and was a model. So elitist bigots say that she's fake. Very juvenile tbh and not worth your attention. Myrkur has written some descent songs.
