If you were to look in the right places and notice the right instances, it can be argued that certain black metal bands are making a transition to something much, much lighter in terms of content, theme, and overall ferocity. … Continue reading Myrkur – Folkesange
Ever since the inception of Myrkur’s eponymous debut years ago, this woman had my attention and interest. Despite all the stuff surrounding her and her work, I personally couldn’t give two shits about it, and I’m thankful for that because … Continue reading Myrkur – Mareridt
After Myrkur put out her first album, people who heard it were absolutely ecstatic to hear what else this one-woman band could whip up for a sophomore release.

There aren’t any conventional vocals either. By “conventional” I mean that there are vocals, but not lyrics, and what I’m … Continue reading Myrkur (self-titled)
