MYRKUR - Wins Metal Hammer's Album Of The Year Award At Golden Gods Ceremony

Renowned Danish composer and classically trained multi-instrumentalist, Myrkur's, recent full-length release Mareridt was the recipient of Metal Hammer UK's prestigious Album Of The Year Award at last night's Golden Gods Ceremony in London, as chosen by the magazine's editorial staff! Mareridt was released in September 2017 by Relapse Records. A full list of winners is available HERE.
On Mareridt (translation: Nightmare), Myrkur explores deeper into the mysterious and the feminine with 11 songs that further progress her visionary blend of metal with gorgeous, stirring melodies, dark folk passages, choral arrangements and superb, horrific beauty. The conceptual masterpiece includes lyrics in multiple languages, an unforgettable collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe and an array of special instrumentation including violin, mandola, folk drums, nyckelharpa (an ancient Swedish key harp), and Kulning (an ancient Scandinavian herding call).
Like a marriage of King Diamond's Them with Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, Mareridt is a carefully composed concept freed from genre - a profound manifestation of nightmares that demonstrates Myrkur as one of the truly exceptional artists of our time. The compositions sweep into one another like a soundtrack designed to guide the listener through emotional turmoil. Timeless, triumphant, powerful and hypnotic, Mareridt is a sonic nightmare that you never want to escape. Link
