Mareridt

Description

Mareridt (Nightmare in Danish) is the second album by Danish composer and multi-instrumentalist Myrkur. Recorded between Copenhagen and Seattle with producer Randall Dunn (Marissa Nadler, Earth, Sunn O))), Boris, Wolves In The Throne Room), Mareridt is a rich juxtaposition of shadow and light, sacred and pagan. Myrkur delves even deeper into the mysterious and the feminine with these 11 new tracks that extend her mix of metal with subtle melodies, dark folk passages, and choral arrangements to create music of stunning beauty but also with its darker hidden side. Mareridt propels Myrkur to new artistic heights with the use of violins, mandolin, folk percussion, nyckelharpa (an ancient Swedish harp), and Kulning, an ancient Scandinavian singing technique, as well as lyrics translated into different languages and a breathtaking collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe. Mareridt is the nightmarish vision of one of the major artists of our time. The CD version includes an exclusive bonus track! For fans of Enslaved, Solstafir, Agalloch, Wardruna, Bjork, Alcest...
