Danish composer and classically trained multi-instrumentalist, Myrkur, ascends with Mareridt's debut single named "Måneblôt". ""Måneblôt" is a tale which portrays a nightmare engaging a woman, girl, animal, violence, sun and fire worship and the pagan ritual, Blót", Myrkur explains.
The new Myrkur's album, Mareridt, potrays 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 11 tracks that further progress her visionary blend of metal with gorgeous, stirring melodies, dark folk passages, choral arrangements and superb, horrific beauty. "I wanted to make an album that I always needed to exist but never did", she explains. "So, I wrote it myself."
Mareridt will be released on 15th September through Relapse Records. The album was recorded between Copenhagen and Seattle with producer, Randall Dunn (Earth, Marissa Nadler, Sunn O))), Boris). Like a marriage of King Diamond's Them with Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, Mareridt is a carefully composed concept freed from genre. It flows between English and Danish, from guttural growls charged with testosterone, to emotive feminine hymns and Kulning. The compositions sweep into one another like a soundtrack designed to guide the listener through emotional turmoil. One minute the songs are fighting back, the next lulling you to submission.
