Myrkur

Emerging from the darkness of Scandinavia comes the much anticipated debut EP by one-woman black metal band MYRKUR. Combining the rawness of second wave black metal bands like Ulver and Darkthrone with the natural sonic beauty of Sigur Ros, MYRKUR has created a wholly unique perspective on the genre. With a distinct sense of Nordic isolation Myrkur’s debut is a feminine yet definitively brutal record that has burst onto the scene like a Valkyrie into battle.

The chatter surrounding Myrkur, the once-mysterious one-woman black metal act that was recently revealed to be Ex-Cops co-leader Amalie Bruun, has roared and raged in the heavy music community before a lick of her debut EP was heard by most. So: how does it sound?

Following the tradition of semi-anonymous one-person black metal bands, Danish black metal entity Myrkur surfaced in 2014 with this self-titled debut EP, the work of a sole Scandinavian woman.
