The long waited Long Play of Myrkur – M, finally came out of the darkness. After her first EP, that prepared our senses for a new inspired project that mix a lot ethereal elements with black metal. This one woman band deliver some melodic voices and melodies that came out from the gloomy deeps of the mist along with heavy black riffs creating a very interesting approach to new melancholic sounds, that otherwise we would think, that it was never possible. Songs like Skøgen skulle dø, Hævnen, Onde børn (the video is very simple but really beautiful), Mordet and Skaði, will definitely transport you to another place, maybe grey and dark, where no light shall enter and your soul is free to wonder with wolves and other creatures of the night. For me, this is black metal album of the year and I hope that Myrkur is here to stay!
10/10
