With Mareridt ("Nightmare"), her sophomore long-player, Danish-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Myrkur (Amalie Bruun) will hopefully leave the ranting and death threats of idiotic male black metal purists in the dust.
Mareridt not only bridges the stylistic diversity of her three previous releases -- the 2015 album M and two EPS -- but extends their reach into her own creative space, which cannot easily be defined.
The music is grounded in an intensely personal iconography -- musical, spiritual, cultural, psychological, emotional, and mythological.
These atmospheric songs are also imbued with the intense influence of the natural world.
