This is my first time hearing MYRKUR. What a beautiful song. I am touched to hear a Danish woman make a homage to Norwegian nature. Love to all my Scandinavian siblings. Stay strong in these hard times. Greetings from Sweden
Greetings. American with Nordic roots here. Myrkur's music is not only beautiful, but it also awakens a deep appreciation for my ancestors. Hail Victory!
I am old 59 yrs skinny bloke in south England and here because Billy Smashing Pumpkins (whom my son enjoys ) mentioned this band amongst legendary acts in his top 10 metal bands of all time .Many years ago I loved what was called folk rock when bands from my country like Pentangle , Steeleye Span , jethro Tull & Renaissance were all we could hear .3 years or so ago I found TREES OF ETERNITY whom are beautiful and many years ago on bbc radio 1 I heard & recorded BEL CANTO light of my fire song. This music is within this realm of Wonderous sound. Thanks to Billy for the nod & to you guys ❤️🐢🏴😁from near Bournemouth in Wessex PS Stick In The Wheel aren’t metal but fine folksy act from London . V nice & authentic.
I had the pleasure of a few short private messages with Aleah (Trees of Eternity singer) on Facebook before she passed, just chatting about her music mostly. She was such a sweet soul, and her partner made a beautiful tribute video to her. To this day I still miss her from only that small basic interaction, so I can't imagine the loss her partner must of felt and probably still does. It's hard for me to listen to her music now, though I still do. I'll always remember her, and whenever she crosses my mind I wish that if there is another lifetime that I may know her. She is indelible, probably to everyone that knew her I imagine . The good ones are always taken far too soon. 😔
Same .. only 48 tho but thx Billy =).. If u like this kinda music check out Therion . A childhood friend from Sweden that been active 30+ years. cheers
Really dude? It looks like she's trying so hard to be dark and tough. If you ask me what is the better art direction of Myrkur vids, I'd say "Leaves of Yggdrassil" is pretty good.
@@ブレイヴフェンサ yes and there goes the problem everybody sounding the same especially symphonic metal death metal all different metal categories, but they all sound the same Nightwish-ish I call it
Still my favourite mykur song .. the way her voice is so soothing and angelic, then boooosh...... out come the screams.... love it. Its so unsettling and beautiful at the same time❤
No, it doesn't need that to survive, it has always been niche. I'm not against experiments like that, but saying that's the only way the genre survives is quite a hyperbole.
I see people judging this based on their expectations of the genre, i will only ever judge this by my expectations of how it makes me feel. Well done, the melodies are moving in just the right way, great contrast with the black metal elements.
Hriðvitnir Málmi Víkingurin if everything remained within expectations then there would be no change or growth, nothing new. It would all get quite boring after awhile.
I don't. this track is good, but very predictable. Myrkur is fake in the sense that by way of careful image marketing and investment from Kristoffer Rygg, in just couple of years has managed to achieve what most bands work decades to achieve... (take Chelsea Wolfe for example).
I think a lot of listeners who are avid fans of a genre fall too far into a comfort zone when it comes to their chosen genre. Some artists even leave the genre because of this.
yep she is so fake, leaving her mainstream pop and rock career for those big Atmospheric Black Metal dollars must have been too much to resist. What a sellout. And yes that was sarcasm.
Leaving a Quote for the Elitists: "It seems that Black Metal has become some sort of religion, but art is not religion. Religion has dogmas and sacred rules and if you don’t follow them then you are doing wrong. Some people in the Black Metal scene are confused. This has become a spiritual movement, almost religious to some, and once you make it religious you create barriers, a circle that limits the genre both musically and ideologically." - Dagon of Inquisition
Nothing wrong with being an elitist, so long as your principles are sound. Some of Myrkur's work is actually cohesive with what the Helvete scene - in particular, Varg - saw black metal as: an expression or inversion of European spirituality turned inward as a destructive/entropic process. Myrkur is more "black metal" on a spiritual level than shitty war metal.
This is haunting, dark and beautiful. I've been a fan of Black Metal since the early 90's and this is really good. Maybe not Black Metal but it's absolutely brilliant
I'm just starting to get into Myrkur. She is absolutely amazing. I love how she can go from such a beautiful angelic voice to blood-curdling screams on a dime.
The lyrics of this song describe an inner struggle against personal darkness, the search for peace and self-acceptance, with references to nature and symbolic elements such as the she-wolf and Norway. It is dark poetry.
Do I need to find that black metal documentary where the guy was saying a lot of the classic artists had a wide variety of musical interests (including techno). It's not a crime to like or perform more than one type of music. What sat well with me was an interview with Amalie long before she started Myrkur, where she said at heart she was a black metal girl. But you know Black Metal isn't Black Metal if it's not turning against your own ;)
That was Gylve "Fenriz" Nagell from Darkthrone in the documentary "Until the Light Takes Us." Great documentary. I just saw Myrkur open for Wolves in the Throne Room and Enslaved this week. I had never heard of them before. I am a huge fan of True Norwegian Black Metal, but I was really impressed by Myrkur's mix of Nordic folk music and Black Metal. Amalie's voice is even better live, and her black metal growls are brutal!
I got goosebumps from this. What a fantastic piece of art. Love the contrasts you have in your music. I feel you as a human being watching this. It makes my soul long for being there in the wilderness. It reaches deep down inside my psyche and satisfies my most ancient needs. As much as I enjoy my life, I also long for a time where you could find peace of mind outside of civilization. So that's what your music does to me. And that's a rare thing indeed. Thank you.
Saw her live at Sweden rock festival and was completely blown away. I am not kidding when i say i stood in awe a whole hour. All luck to you and your music. Metal for life! Let no one ever tell you what do. Music needs rebels like this.
Listening to this for the first time while driving from Atlanta to Raleigh. I had to keep myself from being lost in it. Literally made me go numb. Love it!!
Does it really matter what genre this song is?? Call it Black metal, white metal, pink metal or whatever the fck you want, it doesn't change the fact that we're listening to a musical masterpiece
I like it. I would place it as Blackend Folk Metal IMO. Kind of reminds me of 80s Dead Can Dance. She puts more emphasis on folk music and instruments and uses Black Metal to color it more. But that's my take anyway. *shurgs
I was like "whoa" but then I thought "No, no, this makes sense." If a Valkyrie (or goddess, if you prefer) sang songs, this is pretty much how I'd imagine them. Darkly glorious and gloriously dark.
her tattoo is " My Drawing Number One" illustration from The little prince. The main character says this about it :" My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant."
Yes, the "Little prince" by Anthoine Saint-Exupery. I saw the tatto and think "could it be..?" and wanted to confirm it here in the comment section. This girl got my atention for sure
i saw that too...maybe her spirit beast is a cat or a lynx, rather than the bear or wolf commonly associated with the Norse mystics. I have an affinity with cats (kottir) too!
I thought it was a lynx. Lynxes play almost as important a role in Norse mythology as ravens and bears (they're associated with the goddess Freya) but for some reason they're not as popular with the neo-pagan Asatru types that obsess over their masculine "warrior" image, even though in the wild not even bears will mess around with a lynx!
Black Metal was never ever about blast beats and harsh vocals, they were just the tools that those at the time had available to them. It was about the feeling of grimness, darkness the empty emotionless feelings they had toward the world they lived in at the time. It was about creating an atmosphere of almost sadness at what the once great nation had become. Those who say its not true "Black Metal" probably were not even around Norway at the time of its inception and can never truly understand what it was about. The essence of what it was about has been lost in some backwards fucking pageantry of expensive music videos and overproduced horseshit. This song has some of that essence to it and I salute Myrkur for doing the right thing and not being sheep.
Since when is black metal confined to norway and it's history or even a specific timeframe? So if we weren't "around norway at the time" we can't even understand what "true black metal" is? nevermind bm not being created in norway anyway, why the fuck would this actual danish model with an actually expensive music video deny the "pageantry" of whatever music you are refering to, despite not being from norway? and what in gods name are "empty emotionless feelings", "almost sadness!? over what the once great nation had become" supposed to mean? So u are arguing that all of proper norwegian black metal is some retarded nationalist reaction to whatever the fuck right wing arseholes think went wrong? holy shit check for a disability man.
Adanedhel I would if been happy to debate all of this with you, hell guven the right information I might have even changed my mind. Im not so narrowminded and closed into my opinion to change it. However, all your articulated argument was absolutly ruined by your need to throw in an insult at the end. Childish dude.
I normally don't enjoy female metal singers. I was uncertain about Myrkur as well, but she was just so damn honest in everything she did, which I can only admire. Then I saw her show at Copenhell a few years back, and I was completely sold on her music. The way she carries herself on stage, with that plain salmon dress.... it is something to behold! Pure vision and nothing fake about it. Great talent
What a beautiful and powerful idea. The strength and splendid art that grasps the soul's reins. With true admiration, I realize that Myrkur understands what it’s all about and is excellent at it. Keep it up, and the number of devoted followers will grow. Thank you
Avec ce morceau, c'est le début pour elle d'une longue et prometteuse carrière! Quand on l'écoute une fois, on ne peut plus s'en passer. On l'écoute encore et encore!
dean mastrantoni she’s personally stated she doesn’t associate herself with the black metal genre, and is just partially inspired by it, so I don’t know why you’re still here complaining. Honestly, go listen to something you like and shut up.
She's an artist and a good one. Haters saying she's fake. If she wants to make money out of black metal. She definitely have chosen the wrong kind of music. What do people think bm artist are making millions or something. I heard her pop stuff. They won't really pop more indie I should say. Haters are just jealous
Really enjoyed seeing Myrkur playing live. Think Mareridt is an eclectic, inspired album full of quality. Stay true to your black metal influences and continue to fuse them effectively with your own musical innovation. Brilliant
Personally I love Myrkur. She's like an Enya that isn't excruciatingly embarrassing or a Bjork that doesn't pursue the ideal of eccentricity to the point of being self-indulgent. And, bonus of bonuses, she has great melodies.
Successful model wants to parlay that success into the realm of music. Fine, stuff like that happens all the time. But instead of going into pop, she chooses one of the intentionally least accessible music forms in existence. Even most metalheads dislike black metal. Whether she’s good at it or not (I haven’t dived deep but she’s better than A LOT of black metal IMO), it’s telling of her musical taste and willingness to delve into the dark and weird, likely fully expecting backlash. AND she’s adding a different spin, rather than being the world’s 10,000th Burzum/Darkthrone clone. I respect it.
what a nice thing to see in the morning... this is gorgeous. takes me back to when i was in Norway, the south tho not the illustrious north. this is an art video. this should win an award. mainly for photography and the music is ace too. reminds me of Medieval Babes from the 90s. what happened to them? the singer here has good simple tats, love the runes and cat. id love to see Myrkur live...
I found you from your 90 second video of like a violin looking instrument and it was very soft and calming Norse music, so yeah...you damn near gave me a heart attack when the guitars came in.
I think one of the best songs of Myrkur. No mater that is so much hate her. She have a good ideas, fantastic melody and a lot of misticism in those sounds. Good work! Jeg tror det er best sang fra Myrkur. Spiller ingen rolle om det er så mye hat i nette. Hun har bra ideer, fantastiske melodier og masse mystikk i disse lyder. Bra jobba!
I find the general butt-hurt surrounding Myrkur to be completely and adorably hilarious. I mean, the main argument of these people seems to be that Amalie is somehow carrying out her own musical visions terribly wrong... how is that even possible? I understand it must be overwhelmingly consuming to constantly be this worried about the survival and purity of an entire genre, but what the actual fuck? So it is not "pure" black metal. Who the fuck cares? Black metal isn't magically going to die and vanish off the earth if someone does things a little different. No need to worry, my dear elitists. Keep in mind also that the more you guys run around crying about Myrkur the more publicity it gets, surely that is the last thing you want. If it's not for you, don't listen to it. You're only hurting yourselves.
Be gone, you! TH-cam has no place for intelligent, rational comments! We just wanna make snide, sarcastic remarks & try to be funny to make us feel better about our miserable, narrow minded lives!
I actually got into Myrkur through a hater's comment lol! If it wasn't for this passionate elitist person, I don't think I would be listening to this awesome sound. Thank you!
Eh, I think most of the criticism comes from her ripping of Ulver and if it is true then that is a rather valid criticism. I do not know about the details so don't ask. But if is she was a pop singer originally, I do not give two shits about that. Everyone can like and make wide variety of music and not dedicate their lives to one genre. IMHO Myrkurs albums are average in general but she has few truly awesome songs, this being one of them. And her live gig was good too yesterday in Helsinki when she was warming up Amorphis.
1% of the comments - people complaining it's not a "true black metal" 99% of the comments - "heroes" complaining about people complaining that it's not a "true black metal" Everyone eating his own tail.
@@PatRick-hu1nq And there's complaining about complaining about comments that are complaining about people who are complaining about the music. Hmm...no I don't wanna start that thread, it can get messy.

Amazing song too.
That is not a kitty tattoo. It`s the wolf Fenris as a cub

The alto frequency with the reverb really brings out the ASMR effect of her voice. I think that's what makes this song shine.

It was about creating an atmosphere of almost sadness at what the once great nation had become. Those who say its not true "Black Metal" probably were not even around Norway at the time of its inception and can never truly understand what it was about. The essence of what it was about has been lost in some backwards fucking pageantry of expensive music videos and overproduced horseshit. This song has some of that essence to it and I salute Myrkur for doing the right thing and not being sheep.
sidarist the first black metal bands weren't from norway.
Since when is black metal confined to norway and it's history or even a specific timeframe? So if we weren't "around norway at the time" we can't even understand what "true black metal" is? nevermind bm not being created in norway anyway, why the fuck would this actual danish model with an actually expensive music video deny the "pageantry" of whatever music you are refering to, despite not being from norway? and what in gods name are "empty emotionless feelings", "almost sadness!? over what the once great nation had become" supposed to mean? So u are arguing that all of proper norwegian black metal is some retarded nationalist reaction to whatever the fuck right wing arseholes think went wrong?
holy shit check for a disability man.
Adanedhel I would if been happy to debate all of this with you, hell guven the right information I might have even changed my mind. Im not so narrowminded and closed into my opinion to change it. However, all your articulated argument was absolutly ruined by your need to throw in an insult at the end. Childish dude.
EightAndAHalf1 Fucking hell, did she kill your dog or something? You sound like an angry 12 year old. Calm down and don't listen if you don't like it.

Yes !! Thank you
I've used this one for a final boss in my d&d campaign.

It's awesome to see a woman doing this kind of masterpiece

@@Amateur_Pianist_472 Hi, someone deleted the original message to which reply was devoted.
Have you checked up Runhild Gammelsæter from Thorr's Hammer? Girl was 17 at the time.
I normally don't enjoy female metal singers. I was uncertain about Myrkur as well, but she was just so damn honest in everything she did, which I can only admire. Then I saw her show at Copenhell a few years back, and I was completely sold on her music. The way she carries herself on stage, with that plain salmon dress.... it is something to behold! Pure vision and nothing fake about it. Great talent

well i thought there were more but my brain stopped working
I love it! Amalie you are amazing, I can't wait for new album.
Amazing girls, voices and atmosphere!!!!
What a beautiful and powerful idea. The strength and splendid art that grasps the soul's reins. With true admiration, I realize that Myrkur understands what it’s all about and is excellent at it. Keep it up, and the number of devoted followers will grow. Thank you
I love Myrkur from her first videos on fb years ago, and the release of this piece made me cry
Avec ce morceau, c'est le début pour elle d'une longue et prometteuse carrière! Quand on l'écoute une fois, on ne peut plus s'en passer. On l'écoute encore et encore!
Отличный клип и песня что надо. Как раз чтобы насладиться красивым видом и голосами, и одновременно отдать дань темноте, живущей в душе человека.
So massive and awesome. Thanks for these miracles, your music is brilliant.
Divuar LaCroix you’re handsome 😩
dean mastrantoni I think you’re mistaking Myrkur for In This Moment and Butcher Babies...
dean mastrantoni I never said was, but neither did the original comment.
dean mastrantoni she’s personally stated she doesn’t associate herself with the black metal genre, and is just partially inspired by it, so I don’t know why you’re still here complaining. Honestly, go listen to something you like and shut up.
hahaha thank you :D
I *LOVE* her scream at 2:22!!!! It takes a lot of balls to be secure enough to express yourself like that on a recording! Fuck yes!!!
this is so mesmerising??? and the visuals are soooooo beautiful!!!
She's an artist and a good one. Haters saying she's fake. If she wants to make money out of black metal. She definitely have chosen the wrong kind of music. What do people think bm artist are making millions or something. I heard her pop stuff. They won't really pop more indie I should say. Haters are just jealous
Some metal fans call everything which isn't extreme metal "pop" no matter what the music is.
Most of Metalhead are conservative
Yeah, Metal def won't bring in much food to the table, so it's a rare genre to be wanting to get rich off.
@Lovaniensia There's a difference between subjectively not liking something and a "hater".
Metallica is ''pop''.
Darkened folk metal I love it
"Darkened folk metal"
I like that label.
One of the best things I've seen/heard in my life.
I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS BAND!!!
Seeing them this weekend!
Really enjoyed seeing Myrkur playing live. Think Mareridt is an eclectic, inspired album full of quality. Stay true to your black metal influences and continue to fuse them effectively with your own musical innovation. Brilliant
Personally I love Myrkur. She's like an Enya that isn't excruciatingly embarrassing or a Bjork that doesn't pursue the ideal of eccentricity to the point of being self-indulgent. And, bonus of bonuses, she has great melodies.
Our planet is such a jewel and yet we are the worst keepers.
damn right
We're the disease.
we cannot live with out the planet. the planet will go on after were dead.
Well that's because it was never our planet.
@Hickock 88 not Christianity, greed. Greed corrupts even the purest things
Saw them opening for Solstafir today and I was blown away. Such an amazing performance.
3:30 When the drums kicks in in the background
Successful model wants to parlay that success into the realm of music. Fine, stuff like that happens all the time. But instead of going into pop, she chooses one of the intentionally least accessible music forms in existence. Even most metalheads dislike black metal. Whether she’s good at it or not (I haven’t dived deep but she’s better than A LOT of black metal IMO), it’s telling of her musical taste and willingness to delve into the dark and weird, likely fully expecting backlash. AND she’s adding a different spin, rather than being the world’s 10,000th Burzum/Darkthrone clone. I respect it.
Lmao, wouldn't that be splittetcore or danger music?
Beautifully said
Agreed.
what a nice thing to see in the morning... this is gorgeous. takes me back to when i was in Norway, the south tho not the illustrious north. this is an art video. this should win an award. mainly for photography and the music is ace too. reminds me of Medieval Babes from the 90s. what happened to them? the singer here has good simple tats, love the runes and cat. id love to see Myrkur live...
Refreshing to hear a dark, black metal theme with the enchanting music. Well done!
I don't usually get hooked on a song immediately, but I was sold on the first spin. Excellent.
Wow! Intense, deep, haunting. I love it!
Song like Enya mixed with black metal
Urban Plague completly right
outstanding observation :)
I LOL'D
Gajoss X I love enya too
Eve une Silmariën yes sweetie
This is beyond epic. I absolutely love this. So powerful and massiv, yet so fragile and melodic. A perfect combination in my ears.

😭😭😭😭😭😭.
I found you from your 90 second video of like a violin looking instrument and it was very soft and calming Norse music, so yeah...you damn near gave me a heart attack when the guitars came in.
Haaa, big same. Glad for the adventure though. Also, its a nyckelharpa.
Very beautiful song. When it came finally online I went straight to TH-cam and started listening. Very nice song. Love it.
that scream still gives me chills 😨🖤
I think one of the best songs of Myrkur. No mater that is so much hate her. She have a good ideas, fantastic melody and a lot of misticism in those sounds. Good work!
Jeg tror det er best sang fra Myrkur. Spiller ingen rolle om det er så mye hat i nette. Hun har bra ideer, fantastiske melodier og masse mystikk i disse lyder. Bra jobba!
This stirs the heart. Then terrifies it.
So good. Now I can't stop plying it.
I've never heard of MYRKUR before. It's beautiful and haunting at the same time.
Utterly beautiful music and i can`t get over how enchanting this woman`s voice is.
> clicks video expecting chill folk music
> gets fucking epic blackened folk metal
> mfw I came looking for copper and found gold
So much fucking personality . Simply put, she's a great artist. Can't wait for the new album to come out
I can't wait for this shit. She's so fuckin awesome
Ahhh yes, I TOTALLY AGREE. She's selling out by making high-quality black metal. . . adds up doesn't it?
Typical poser :D
Yep, it's like I always said: "Wanna get rich and famous? You gatta release Black Metal!"
LOL...the fact that you hate her so much yet waste your energy shit talking her......hilarious.
I find the general butt-hurt surrounding Myrkur to be completely and adorably hilarious. I mean, the main argument of these people seems to be that Amalie is somehow carrying out her own musical visions terribly wrong... how is that even possible? I understand it must be overwhelmingly consuming to constantly be this worried about the survival and purity of an entire genre, but what the actual fuck? So it is not "pure" black metal. Who the fuck cares? Black metal isn't magically going to die and vanish off the earth if someone does things a little different. No need to worry, my dear elitists. Keep in mind also that the more you guys run around crying about Myrkur the more publicity it gets, surely that is the last thing you want. If it's not for you, don't listen to it. You're only hurting yourselves.
Be gone, you! TH-cam has no place for intelligent, rational comments! We just wanna make snide, sarcastic remarks & try to be funny to make us feel better about our miserable, narrow minded lives!
@@Sean-fv4wi ...lol🤘
@@Sean-fv4wi LMAO!
I actually got into Myrkur through a hater's comment lol! If it wasn't for this passionate elitist person, I don't think I would be listening to this awesome sound. Thank you!
Eh, I think most of the criticism comes from her ripping of Ulver and if it is true then that is a rather valid criticism. I do not know about the details so don't ask. But if is she was a pop singer originally, I do not give two shits about that. Everyone can like and make wide variety of music and not dedicate their lives to one genre. IMHO Myrkurs albums are average in general but she has few truly awesome songs, this being one of them. And her live gig was good too yesterday in Helsinki when she was warming up Amorphis.
Her and Emma Hewitt are currently my favorite artist to listen to on repeat.
It's one of the most beautiful and artistic music I've ever heard.
1% of the comments - people complaining it's not a "true black metal"
99% of the comments - "heroes" complaining about people complaining that it's not a "true black metal"
Everyone eating his own tail.
And then there's us:
complaining about comments that are complaining about people who are complaining about the music.
What the fuck is black metal? Is that the music version of 72 genders?
@@PatRick-hu1nq And there's complaining about complaining about comments that are complaining about people who are complaining about the music. Hmm...no I don't wanna start that thread, it can get messy.
@@sae2705 wanna complain? :D
What percentage of people who like the music but hope it's not true black metal because black metal neckbeards are pathetic children?
Wait, people say this sucks?
This is actually kinda awesome. Doom Death meets First Utterance era Comus.
Love it.
Kinda makes me think of Agalloch, only with more vocal harmonizing
This song is a master piece 🖤
This is insane how have I not heard this before. Stunning, moving.
Elemental and powerful!. Back to the roots of our people.
I don’t understand why so many dislikes 😔 she’s very good and talented
Amélia, your voice is magic, greeting from Madagascar
I have no idea what she’s singing and this isn’t my style of music but this video is GORGEOUS
The atmospheric aspect is amazing, just WOW!
This magic tunes from Myrkur, makes me soo stoned! I love this!!
