This debut album comes on the heels of Myrkur's self-titled 2014 EP. The EP was a tour-de-force by a then-anonymous one-woman act; the album loses some of the EP's power as the musician has become known (Danish pop star Amalie Bruun) and other musicians have joined the act, but the result is 90's style ambient black metal. My favorite track, featured both on this album and the EP, is Dybt I Skoven (Danish: "Deep in the Woods"); for me this track in particular is quite an earworm.

This is an amazing album. Most Black Metal pales by comparison. The blend of choral voices, scandinavian folk music and searing metal is beautifully handled. I never heard a BM album before that could be called beautiful. This is also very hi-fi, and perfectly mixed and mastered. All of the carping from the purists is probably due to a newcomer wiping the floor with their third rate efforts. Ignore the immature male whiners calling this crap, it is the exact opposite.

Great quality, well packaged. Plays perfectly.

Outstanding Product - A++ Transaction

Gets better with every listen. One of my favorite discs from last year.

Beauty and Beast vocals from the same person. Hauntingly beautiful. Saw them open for Behemoth, I thought it an odd but workable combo. It was workable! Really set the mood and tone. Keeping my eyes and ears open for this artist

Fantastic.

Awesome CD, it is a great mix of folk and black metal.

Album d'esordio di Myrkur non esente da critiche di varia natura anche per la provenienza non precisamente Metal della stessa artista , scelgo comunque di premiare il connubio coraggioso tra volk scandinavo e metal e le atmosfere fiabesche che ella crea, mixate a colpi di puro black, penso Myrkur abbia un ottima voce e senso compositivo , consiglio l'album a tutti gli amanti del genere!!!

長く入荷がなく諦めていましたが、非常に良い品質、丁寧な梱包できにいりました

Great album, been listening to it a lot since it arrived and I can't say I have anything negative to say about Myrkur. Hoping to hear some more great albums from her.

This is one of those rare cases where the words Black Metal and Beautiful can go together. A one woman project M is an album combining icy black metal sounds with delicate folk like vocals and guitars. It mostly all works really well, though there are times when the black metal assault kicks in that I feel they could almost be toned down a bit as it can be a touch jarring - however only a minor complaint.If you're unsure the album preview actually manages to describe it really well.

Ce deuxième opus de Myrkur est la confirmation du talent de la chanteuse qui passe du chant guttural au chant clair sans aucun problème.Les chants éthérées de certaines pistes, comme sur la première piste ou sur "Volvens Spådom" en font un album qui s'écoute avec un grand plaisir, pour peu qu'on aime les ambiances un peu sombre.Une bouffée d'air pur pour un genre mal vu par de nombreuses personnes pour des raisons plus ou moins justifiées. Ce n'est que de la musique après tout !
