MYRKUR - Myrkur (2023 Reissue) - 12'' EP - Sea Blue and White Galaxy Merge Vinyl [NOV 17]

12'' EP - Limited Edition Sea Blue and White Galaxy Merge Vinyl.   

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. Though the seven songs dig deep into the middling fidelity, tormented blastbeats, and over-the-top darkness of some of black metal's greatest names (early Burzum, Emperor, Ulver) much of the album also embraces a gentler side of the dread and wonder found in nature. Frosne Vind is an entirely acoustic composition, playing courtly melodies while a host of haunted choral voices sweep in overtop with a medieval melody. It's only moments until the metal chaos returns, however, and tunes like standout track Nattens Barn perfectly blend the two worlds of graceful, icy ambience and all-out hellish black metal wailing.
