Emerging from the darkness of Scandinavia comes the debut EP by one-woman black metal band MYRKUR. Combining the rawness of second wave black metal bands like Ulver and Darkthrone with a natural sonic, ethereal beauty, MYRKURhas 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.
"One of the best collections of atmospheric black metal I’ve heard this year" - Stereogum
“One of the best atmospheric black metal albums of the year so far... a killer collection of expertly crafted second-wave style atmospheric black metal songs with gorgeous vocals” - Brooklyn Vegan
“a black metal record that respects tradition without drowning in it” - 8/10 Decibel
"Her work greatly recalls Ulver's Bergtatt album, emphasizing the influence of ambient music on black metal. The riffs stay true to the all-consuming enchantment that accounts for the continued relevance of Norway’s classics." - Pitchfork
“It works brilliantly, with soaring choral vocals flowing over the meditative, melodic tremolos to produce a sound both poignant and aggressive.” -Terrorizer
