Mareridt (translation: Nightmare) is the highly anticipated sophomore full-length from renowned Danish composer and multi-instrumentalist MYRKUR. Recorded between Copenhagen and Seattle with producer Randall Dunn (Marissa Nadler, Earth, Sunn O))), Boris, Wolves In The Throne Room), Mareridt is a rich juxtaposition of the dark and the light; the moon and the mother earth; the witch and the saint. MYRKUR explores deeper into the mysterious and the feminine with 11 tracks that further progress her visionary blend of metal with gorgeous, stirring melodies, dark folk passages, choral arrangements and superb, horrific beauty. Further taking MYRKUR to new artistic heights are lyrics in multiple languages, an unforgettable collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe and an array of special instrumentation including violin, mandola, folk drums, nyckelharpa (an ancient Swedish key harp), and Kulning (an ancient Scandinavian herding call). Mareridt is a profound manifestation of nightmares that demonstrates MYRKUR as one of the truly exceptional artists of our time.

Lyrics:
Dét er rummet de gør det i
Det skal koste penge nu
Du åbner munden
I bare my teeth
You touch my skin
I open wide and let you come in
Howling howling praying to the sun
Åh min vakre Sora
Always coming down
Beskidte hore du fortjener det, alt de har gjort ved dig
In pale moonlight
We bathe in blue
A sacrifice of life born new
They fear our kind
They hunt us down
They hear our screams
Like animals
Donna, donna always come around
Oh mi kona kona always coming down
Donna donna they will burn you down
Oh mi kona kona they will make you drown

[@johnnymarzetti9130]

I enjoy the folk aspect of Myrkur, but I’d love more tracks like this with the intensity of black metal. I don’t care what anyone says, this band is a breath of fresh air in the genre. Thanks for the mix of beauty and darkness.

[@xMIRAKx]

Ditto!

[@Alefran01]

This is good but there is nothing fresh about bm

[@Dagoth_Ur_1]

The irony is those that complained about this, this song is literally heavier than some on Burzum's Fallen, but like many BM bands back then has that pagan/folk sound. So what's not to love

I will never understand why some people who claim to hate her and her music, still take the time to watch her videos and comment such kind of hate words towards her. I don't give a shit if this is black metal or not, I like the music and that's all what should matter. Is it really that hard?

[@Divuar]

Gerson León they are frustrated because of Amelie's mass culture past. I guess it doesn't matter as long as her music is that good now.

[@davidmeyers7744]

People are mad because she claims to write the music, but it's the producers who do most of it, and if you saw her live you'd see that she has next to no clue how to even play guitar. This is a gimmick "band" of "hey look! a pretty girl doing sorta atmospheric black metal!" I enjoyed this song a lot and her last album was pretty good, but it's still just Relapse cashing in on a gimmick.

[@MTExtremo]

Gerson León lots of people just hate women tbh

[@Divuar]

So what? Metal has become a pop genre long time ago.

Hipster Black Metal You are the epitome of the kind of people I was talking about, you even spend your time making videos just to tease her. I feel sorry for people like you, I can't imagine how miserable someone's life has to be to get to those extremes.

[@poltergijstt]

This sounds so fucking awesome, I regret every day I lived without Myrkur

[@alexandrebour7494]

Do you know any other black metal music that sounds like this one?

[@poltergijstt]

@@alexandrebour7494 It really is hard to find, but maybe you'll like Sylvaine. Let me know what you think!

[@cancelled_user]

@@alexandrebour7494 Not exactly, but try Eluveitie - Aidus Also, Myrkur has a new collab "Sirens" with Epica, but only one song and it's more like a ballad. Epica itself is an amazing band too, it's symphonic metal with a little death metal on top, sometimes almost black metal sound too. Try their "Ascension - Dream State Armageddon" or "The Essence of Silence". Different style but still great fun.

[@keysersozefede]

she's getting better and better. The mix black metal/folk is perfect for her voice skills.

[@samdryden7944]

at the end of the day, I don't give a shit about genre labels, I just enjoy good music.

[@KaminariHouse]

Well, they still matter in order to tell people what kind of music you listen to. And so they can find it more easily if they end up liking what you end up showing them. That's ultimately why labels/names exist in the first place, not to put others down or something, but to make our lives easier.

[@thepaganmystic]

Then why are you listening to Myrkur?

[@Rob84164]

"Måneblôt" is a tale which portrays a nightmare engaging a woman, girl, animal, violence, sun and fire worship and the pagan ritual, Blót." Nice description.

[@Blackmetalmusicguru]

as a black metal fan i love this and i dont see what shes doing wrong. if you dont like the music simply dont listen to it okay? let others enjoy this true masterpiece

[@lyumos9186]

The harmony of beauty and dark.

[@c1rm4]

This sounds like having several atmospheric bands I like all mixed together and producing an amazing album. Lot of respect and admiration!!

[@EduardoRodriguesMusic]

I think it's time to give a new wave to black metal, very original and diferent, can't wait for the album...

[@SakisPrekas]

It has been long since something trully interesting came to my attention. Well done!

[@enigmatickendo]

Don't like, don't listen! I love this. It's grim, dark. But it's actually relaxing. IMO elitism is everything wrong with metal. Get over it and listen to what you like.

[@gwengwyfar]

lyrics: Dét er rummet de gør det i Det skal koste penge nu Du åbner munden I bare my teeth You touch my skin I open wide and let you come in Howling howling praying to the sun Åh min vakre Sora Always coming down Beskidte hore du fortjener det, alt de har gjort ved dig In pale moonlight We bathe in blue A sacrifice of life born new They fear our kind They hunt us down They hear our screams Like animals Donna, donna always come around Oh mi kona kona always coming down Donna donna they will burn you down Oh mi kona kona they will make you drown

[@Divuar]

I may be hated, but I believe Myrkur is the best thing happened in black metal scene so far. A genre should evolve and as long as ignorant thin minded traditionalist 90th black metal fans hate anything innovative, this genre would suffer and stomp on the same ground.

[@Hesher93]

You act like Myrkur did creat something completly new, but they/she didn't, they didnt evolve anything. I still enjoy the Music.

[@Divuar]

Hesher could you please recommend something more like this? It's the only band I know which combines Scandinavian folk and black metal in this proportion.

[@Hesher93]

Combining Scnadinavian Folk und Black Metal was there since the 90's with Enslaved, Bathory (for example). And no, i'm not taking those bands on the same level as Myrkur! The only "new" thing with her Music is, that there is alot of Female cleaning voice (wich also happend before), thats it and thats the only reason IMO, why she is so extremly "hated" and "overly praised". Her Music is good, nothing more, nothing less.

[@Divuar]

Hesher yeah, i know that bands. The thing about Myrkur is that she sounds like a mix of later black metal music + some kind of Wardruna-like folk. I mean, the balance is more folkish, I guess.

[@Hesher93]

But balancing something whats already there in a little bit of a different way ins't "evolving/innovating" the Black Metal scene, look at the Polish Black Metal Szene, they bring some new views into Black Metal!

[@roosin7900]

It reminds me of The Witcher. I love it

[@thefrogger6507]

Damn dude, you're right!

[@sergidiaz1738]

Yes, specially the part with the three witches

[@CollinChaney]

thats funny lol im playing wither 3 while reading this

[@mandyschisler1607]

It’s been a while since I’ve heard something that gives me chills, beautiful!!

[@zaphod2]

One of the best songs I`ve heard in a long, long time. Always glad to discover absolute gems like this. Thank you, Myrkur.

[@BoneMachine28]

Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album.

[@onefromthenorth]

you nailed it!

[@vuquanghuy4584]

hail cobra, fuck G.I patriot who kill thousand of life just to get a shitty medal

[@bluetextonwhitebg]

they just released the full album to this channel. :)

[@winnefeltuk7141]

It's a fucking awesome album!

[@evilemuempire9550]

Skip the last “song” and it’s great

[@vannerator]

1:01 - "Listen with your heart, you will understand" - Myrkur must be a fan of Pocahontas.

[@iDancethroughshadoWs]

beautiful, mystical and enchanting. a welcome addition to black metal. this is how id do it if i could.

[@Elohim05]

Excellent song Amelie. Perfect mix of raw black metal and beautiful vocals.

[@Sp3cu]

i've just washed my nostrills with coffee xD The only thing that's depresive is that people mistake it for depresive black metal

[@wilhelmmeister3831]

haemoth84 GOOD! Time to move on.

[@miguelmarques8746]

Raw black metal? 😂

[@elk3407]

This is more along the lines of ABM, as opposed to DBM.

[@Lildemonzins]

It's Like Shoe Gaze black Metal!

[@Gigasius]

Absolutely brilliant! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

[@Mayheml]

Can any black metal elitist constructively explain what is she doing wrong? I don't hear anything extraordinary different from what other folk/post bands have already done with black metal. Why Alcest didn't get any of this?

[@iandraugr2623]

Trust me, mate, it was never about being elitist. Too many metalheads listen to every kind of music, as long as it's authentic and genuine. You people just call anyone who doesn't like her "a BM Elitist", when to be perfectly frank many are just critical of her approach to the musical output and how she's just replicating/stealing from other bands and artists. She just doesn't sound authentic. And that's perfectly conceivable, especilaly if you watch her interviews. Black Metal that sounds like hers seems to have solely one purpose and one kind of audience: Fashionsta "more mainstream" Black Metal. That's as constructive as someone could put it into words.

[@placeholder6517]

Ian Draugr that would all be fine and dandy if these people didn't hate a very specific cabal of BM bands with the same arguments each and every time. I mean jesus fuck the fact that hipster black metal dude is ripping this should be evidence enough that it's a classic case of good ol' BM elitism.

[@placeholder6517]

Ian Draugr not to mention actual BM artists, including fucking Garm, rep her. I think actual BM musicians like him and Ihsahn actually finding merit in her work speaks much louder about her authenticity than a vocal minority on youtube screaming about her not being trv and kvlt.

[@iandraugr2623]

You missed the whole point of the comment and what we actually were talking about, instead you mentioned some black metal dudes to give her some sort of misplaced credibility and made it as a core of your whole "argument". I don't actually expect you to understand, you think just because someone's popular, he's credible to say whatever he wants and he's gonna be positive about it every time. Such mentality proves that some people don't belong to the metal community. I really wonder what has become of the metal scene ?. It's now filled with some poser kids & fashionsta girls, who think that they matter when they defend their favourite "artist" and discredit someone's opinion in the process. As I said, the problem with her is more than just kids hanging around & screaming "she's not kvlt enough" and all this shit. Certainly, there are many who think like that. But from my point of view and others', her problem is more than just her not being "kvlt". She doesn't have the personality nor the sufficient creativity to make her stand out as one impressive metal act or musical act in general. Her way of handling the hatred she gets and the musical outcome she offers is highly flawed and typical for some. Which makes her highly unlikable in the process.

[@placeholder6517]

Yes, this is totally not stereotypical buzz-word filled elitism at all./s

[@digitalmediacaracas6733]

For me, best song for Myrkurr.

[@stevesheardown]

Just saw them supporting Epica which is why I came to this - fantastic sound, atmospheric and dark, I love it!!

[@eduardocrowleii8365]

WooOooW... spectacular song!!

[@AndresAcheron]

Wow, whatever is she doing with her music is beyond wonderful, she blended black metal with beautiful clean vocals, a celtic passage and it has this 'noise rock' vibe at some point. It reminded me some Enslaved at times, and Swans in another. She is amazing

[@ikitsunebi]

This is great music. A Breath of fresh air in a saturated music scene and market.

[@David-jw8zm]

This is my favorite song!

[@pixieneoful]

😍 😍 😍 can't wait to hear more from the new album!!!!

[@goldenlarry]

The end vocals of this song are awesome.

[@ruicascalheira]

this track is absolute gold

[@Tobinnas]

Why is there so much hate on her ? ... If you do not like her music just, do not listen to it ....

[@adelinequin3747]

I love her work but to answer your question. Because each people has different taste . And for the "If you don't link her , Don't Listen to her" We all have expectation and curiosity.

[@necrogore5049]

Wow you're really edgy af! How do I become more like you?

[@mitjarupel2357]

Just 'cause she has all the cards to do something good. So simple... If it wasn't for that, would it be so difficult just to ignore her?

[@magdalinifrigginazgulette85]

Coz much kvlt such trve WOW

[@ReichDerDornen]

why the hate? Shes fake. Google her name or whatever. Or check out this shitty youtube video kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4PCimWlg7pniq8

[@Horus6661]

My favorite piece of the album ..... Strong and folk ....

[@clararifugiato4324]

Gorgeous, lush, complex, beautiful, dark, perfect!

[@17HMR]

This is simply amazing. All ready pre ordered the album.

[@becauseitsfun1687]

So Awesome!! Thank you, your music is Beautiful! Your song helped me smile at the end of a hard day.

[@eduardocrowleii8365]

myrkur is really spectacular.. amazing... this song is sublime!!!

[@perfectlyflawed96]

This is all I've ever wanted in a band!

[@prod.bygygahurts304]

this is absolutely awesome. Seriously terrific thank you.

[@Maxwell_connors.]

Black Metal+The Witcher+Lana Del Rey=Myrkur

[@ValhallaRaven]

Love this woman! Can't wait for the new album to drop.

[@denisshkarinovsky8469]

Awesome! Can't wait for the live perfomances

[@jessebohmer8979]

This does...... Put a smile on my face.

[@midmiddleton163]

I just saw her in concert here in Portland. So beautiful. She played this song. I fell in Love...love with beauty. And, the darkness that comes with it.

[@sjal92]

Pure talent...Sends chills down my spine. Beautiful voice and music.

[@coffincandy]

LOVE IT! It's ethereal, atmospheric and FERAL! keep doing what you do Myrkur. your art is amazing.

[@TheMountainDemon]

YES!

[@cecilialarsdotter2233]

This is the music i was always looking for.

[@aralsezen5975]

Amazing and brilliant, it separates the lower life forms from those who are blessed with appreciation of Myrkur.

[@Michelle_1805]

Awesome!

[@nedcass1527]

Excellent!!

[@larsmuldjord9907]

Raw and beautiful, a rare mix. I like it!

[@restpack]

LOL.. those are wrong words to describe this unoriginal joke band.

[@SuperOphelius]

Agreed hahaha

[@tacitusmastodon1086]

Alisa B jealous much?

[@cirithuncle8744]

Someone needs to look deeply into themselves for a week for not liking a band? LOL You give a pathetic diatribe on someone being negative, THEN you make a generic 4th grade joke about blasting themselves with a dildo. It's only music, calm down, grow up.

[@davidmeyers7744]

Sick burn Tom Bell! Do you have to be a cook to say "this food sucks"? Do you have to be a car designer to say "this car sucks"? Really, stupid fucking logic with " r u in a band durrr durr can u do better durr". Fucking unoriginal dork.

[@ANDREYLUSS]

SUPER !!!!!!!!!!!

[@DeathSpellXVI]

Liking this a lot 🤘the vocals are incredible and the overall rhythm of the track is amazing

[@kellymartin8261]

I AM SO HAPPY

[@robertbaker614]

I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the album . Hail Myrkur.

[@Neel-ff4mn]

Wow, this is different. It's nordic and folky like an Ulver album, and speedy and visceral like a Krallice album. And even though her screaming is a little off-putting 4 me, her singing reminds me a lot of Chelsea Wolfe!

[@k.m.2344]

Chelsea Wolfe is actually featured on her new album.

[@sylvaincolon1534]

absolutely nothing comparable to Krallice in terms of agressivity...

[@lefteris_kef]

How do you know this? If true, that is awesome news!

[@SteelSkin667]

The track list is already known, and Chelsea Wolfe is indeed featured on two tracks. I can't wait.

[@SatanenPerkele]

This sounds like Pocahontas "Grandmother: "Listen to your heart, you will understand." HAHAHA

[@rodgill9376]

looking forward to hearing the rest of the album

[@BlackMetalButterfly]

This is actually pretty dope.

[@SteamPunk4473]

Too short! September is too far ! Thank you for your beautiful music !!!

that moment when the cleans kick in... oh yes oh yes

[@OysterWallace]

AWESOME

[@salvadorriosdelmas7008]

Favorite track !

[@satanika551]

I actually see a lot of people complaining about "true black metalhead ", but i don't see much of them critisizing her

[@muymusculoso]

Obscure and magical!!

[@gabix7488]

I really enjoy this. Great mix. Black metal, folk.... Her music sends me to a far far unknown place

[@peepo1416]

Am I the only one hearing the melody of Grandma Willow ? Great song !

[@tacitusmastodon1086]

Awesome! Love it!

[@Dagoth_Ur_1]

Anyone that dislikes this calling the artist poser etc, aren't fans of metal nor black metal, they're ironically; posers, and don't know much about black metal.

[@steve66650]

Only the close-minded would hate on Myrkur.. I like it takes black metal on a different path

[@MasterSoto]

How?

[@genustinca5565]

Indeed, how? Not that I don't like it, but it's just traditional (folk) black metal with clean female vocals.

[@thepaganmystic]

And only the stupid would think this is good.

[@krlosz1996]

Different path? Ulver did this almost 3 decades ago

[@lucilledoman977]

Beautiful!

[@DavidHoughton17]

Love it !!

[@TheVikingProgrammer]

Jag älskar det! Vakker musik!

[@PBbelongsMe]

she is gonna collaborate with chelsea wolfe on this record. FUCK YES

[@Divuar]

Seriously? Or is it just your fantasy? :D

[@Nyarlath0tep666]

It's serious, you can see it on the tracklist's album.

[@Mike-mc3sh]

I actually like this a lot. I don't think her last record had blast beats in it if I remember correctly. The contrast of her beautiful clean vocals with the those blast beats is something.

[@SebastianRRasmussen]

It did have a couple. Hævnen, Onde Børn and Skað for example.

[@jonathanaddams6711]

Yep, this is fantastic.

[@biblicallyaccuratecockroach]

Saw a video of her on Tumblr and came running, so beautiful. Gonna come back when I have proper headphones, so at least I can ruin both my ears simultaneously XD

[@alexsoutzen]

wow Love this, actuely I'm just discovering this band and i like it 😀

[@ashinantony8272]

Set ✨️✨️

[@user-ys6pc2hi9f]

Just wow...

[@imverystupid6907]

this is so cool! I love it!

[@torreswaldo]

amazing track. cant wait to hear full album....M was great and this one sounds pretty well

[@lewisgiles2619]

Wow. This is my favorite one for sure!

[@virpablo]

Suena genial! Deseando escucharlo entero.

[@CarlosValman]

This is beautiful. Keep it up! I personally believe that you should highlight those beautiful clean-voice melodic parts and those organic folk sounds with traditional instruments over the actual black metal, since it's a good part of what make you so unique, that spirit of witchcraft that you can create. But all and all I love your work. I wish you every success.

[@stephansandrock1491]

Brilliant done!

[@joeshmoe8416]

Wonderful

[@northerstar6231]

beautiful

[@thornack5155]

just love it

[@Dehmitz]

Love this! The best type of music to me is the kind that takes me to a different place. In this case it's a Scandinavian forest in the dead of winter.

[@ronanbueno2886]

Absolute art

[@grindcoremaniac]

This is haunting and beautiful.

[@tbw666]

masterpiece

[@mstriglio]

Wow. nice song ! i love her music

[@Baertl72]

very nice !!!

[@pinkgreen6662]

Damn i love it

[@wolfyswisdom]

Amazing!
