‘Mareridt‘ (translation: Nightmare) is the sophomore full-length from 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 compositions 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 and an array of special instrumentation including violin, mandola, folk drums, nyckelharpa (an ancient Swedish key harp), and Kulning (an ancient Scandinavian herding call). MYRKUR was recently captured at home in Copenhagen playing Scandinavian Folk on her nyckelharpa.
