What is ABBA like? Dark really dark.
What is King Diamond like? Makes me happy - think gardens enjoying morning tea in the meadows.
The best part is she's totally right xD
Whoever sources the photos for these videos does a superb job. They are always unusual photos not often seen. Most are new to me. Like the photos here of Joan Baez are some of the best I’ve ever seen of her. Really well done.
She has a very soothing speaking voice. Could totally see her recording audiobooks sometime down the line.
Oh, and her music is pretty neat too imo.
Yes ABBA does make dark music. On the surface they seem happy and full of sunshine, but its a ruse. There are demons lurking under there. You have to be in the year 1992, under the influence of acid, and playing an NES game called "Adventure Island" while listening to the song "Chiquitita" to understand this. I experienced the true horror firsthand.
Hahahahah crazy shit
Oh
It's this duality that makes ABBA so good. Even songs like Dancing Queen have very melancholy overtones.
She seems very sweet and calm. The contrast between her and the different kinds of music she likes is fascinating.
never met a Scandinavian before?
@@kongvinter33 I haven't met her either, but no not physically. Online, sure
Say what you will about her music, the woman has incredible taste. From Joan Baez and ABBA, to Goblin and Portal. Hell yeah.
I didn't say she was special, I said she had great taste. Sounds like you have solid taste too, which is cool.
HAHAHAHAHA
She puts of a lot of people to shame with her black metal vocals (though she went more folk root)
Cleveland Orchestra under Szell was actually world class, you're in good hands, milady. Also realizing that ABBA were horror pop just blew my mind. Aaaand, everybody who comes through this series from now on should bring branches of their favorite tree to decorate the couch
I've heard some Myrkur just recently, was actually really impressed.
Myrkur and your nickname fit just fine!
@@blekkmtlelitist2954 😂😂😂💀
Portal !!
...A beautiful lady, with an equally beautiful voice, with a good ear for music: what's not to love?
Simp
she's beautiful, she's real Skadi
She is certainly impressive, but she is spoken for now. She got herself a man in North America. I think he is a drummer and maybe has something to do with the record arrangement, if I remember right.
Loved to hear her talk music and Very inspiring what her mind goes in music in paticular. VERY talented beutiful mind i music. HAil Metal! And THANX for the tip Portal, never heard, but Now i do! COOL as HELL!
ULVER would be interesting.
Furry Scythe yea
Sunn + Ulver...good record
Ever watch the Sopranos? Was just watching.. The daughter has an ULVER poster on her bedroom wall!
they don't pick who comes on the show, they just show up and are asked to film
I was in Oslo in the 90's and spent some time with Garm. I remember him talking about Coil and some more pop bands like Prince. Not just with him but with many of the BM musicians I met had a very diverse and eclectic range of musical interests.
Myrkur has a cute personality. I need to get her latest album. Oh and Abba's stuff can be horrific if you listen to the lyrics. Ghost did a great job emphasizing that when they covered Abba. As for the clock head Portal's, The Curator wears it's a homage to Brian Lumley's Titus Crow, who has a clock that works like Dr. Who's Tardis.
I am so happy you picked King Diamond!! And you are the most beautiful woman ever
Thumbs up for the Smetana record! Those are among my favourite classical pieces! Moldau is incredibly beautiful...
Indeed. Have you heard "Rusalka" by Dvorak? Performed by Patricia Janeckova (on the airport 😁)
JOAN BAEZ, NAILED IT, FULL STOP
Que bueno verte por el lado Myrkur de youtube Klaw jajajaja. Ojala verte a ti un dia sentada en el sofá de AMoeba con tus vinilos de Tino Casal y de La Paquera de Jerez.
I always thought I am the only one who inds ABBA as a Dark band. I love her choices.
I found Portal because of this. Such an interesting band!
My god I was a huge Abba fan in my teens.
I could go 20 years without hearing them and still remember every word.
Love this woman’s music! Brilliant.
Holy shit, Australia represent with Portal! Utterly furious album and amazing live.
Loved this video, she explains things very well, also love her music.
Amazing choice! Not that many people walk out of a record store with ABBA, Goblin, Joan Baez, King Diamond and Portal tucked under their arm! And its good to hear ABBA appraised fully for once. Yes of course they were pop.... but.... both musically and lyrically there was always a darkness lurking under their pristine light, especially later as their relationships started to fail.
lol!
I love her so much!
OMG. She has a Goblin record. And, she was looking for the Suspiria soundtrack. I'm even more in love with her now!!
Gotta agree. That's a pretty amazing combination in my eyes.
Favorite horror movie and
PORTAL
Intriguing. I think her take on ABBA is dead on - I always felt there was an underlying sadness to their music. Myrkur's own music sounds intriguing - I think I'm on the way to becoming a fan. That's what's so great about this series.
I have that Goblin 2013 EP that I got Goblin to autograph when I saw them live. One of my all time favorite concerts and everyone in the band was super humble and chill.
YES
THANK YOU !
Jabrane Amami Love the Wintersun 'Time 1' profile picture! 🤘
The Deadite Slayer im actually one of your subscribers.
Lol, how crazy is this !
I love your vocal covers BTW.
And thank you for the kind words. Wintersun is my favorite band
I approve your profile picture. It's goude.
I love her album Folkensange and Mausoleum, got both on vynil and im really glad having them
I am so in love with her voice. She is such a talented and amazing woman.
Fate and King shaped my life for sure....
Ok... This woman is AWESOME. I will be checking out her stuff very, very soon
I've always thought that Dancing Queen was one of the darkest, most evil songs ever, but nobody ever seems to agree. It needs to be in a movie where someone commits suicide because of an impending apocalyptic event. Or gets eaten by undead creatures. Either way, I'm glad someone else also thinks that ABBA is creepy as shit.
I'm on it! Thanks for the recommendation!
It was used masterfully in Spike Lee's Summer of Sam, in a scene which has lots of tension/angst. As you mentioned, it has an element of dark despair that not many people catch on to.
Dude, watch the episode 6, season 2 of the show Community. It's set during a "zombie apocalypse" and the soundtrack is exclusively Abba.
Nayako ahahahahahah I must concur... but only by a thread :D
Yeah and "I'm a Marionette" is another good example of a creepy fucking ABBA song. Many people don't go beneath the surface and just see the discolights and popmusic and think thats it.
She is so beautiful and her voice is so amazing I think I'm in ❤️ ❤️❤️
Yes, I love her.
Fuck the haters! I love Myrkur, her unique style and songs.
Cannot go wrong with King Diamond
My god! What a smile!
Thumbs up for Joan Baez. The choices were overall very interesting. Thanks!
Thanks for showing me Portal!
Q: If someone is not familiar with King Diamond, how would you describe the music?
Myrkur: I don't think I would talk to them!
... aaand that's the right answer!
Wonderful woman! Incredible Musical Taste!
I'm in love
I adore her so much!!! ❤❤
I am in love!!
ABBA and Portal. Love it.
What a gorgeous woman.
I'm in LOVE!!!
So nice to find someone else who realizes what a dark song Dancing Queen is!! And yeah, I love Joan Biaz as well... many of her songs came from a collection known as the Child Ballads.. great stuff dear lady!
I enjoy her music and her picks were fun.
inb4 trve kvlt comments.
^ So basically proving his point.
@Donny Ross Yeah that's what I meant. :) Myrkur gets a lot of hate in the black metal world for not being "real black metal", etc.
Either way, her music is a bunch of rip off riffs. That she makes cringe worthy. She is an industry plant.
Love her!
Love her picks!
such a beauty and such a good taste...
Was stoked to see that Portal
I love this woman
5:10 thats why I started to listening to Myrkur!
Big respect for PORTAL band
Well I just fell in love 😅❤
Wow, she has such an inspiring taste for music. ^~^
Awesome to see Portal in her choices
Great voice!!
Haters gonna hate. I know a lot of Black Metal folks who like Abba, though.
More the Grindcore folks. *ggg*
naaa, im the most into Black Metal, and i LOVE ABBA! My Parents listened to them that often, in my childhood!
I love both grind and black metal. I own a few Abba albums. But I also listen to different styles of music. She seems to mostly get hated on by the people who can't listen to anything outside of the black metal labels.
Necrobutcher likes abba
I like Abba-th.
is that her on the king diamond cover?
She is so beautiful.
PORTAL & ABBA..AND GOBLIN. SHE RULES.
It's actually a wonder why more pop stars don't go the metal route. When Amalie Bruun was just a pop singer, she was just another hot body who was a piece of meat and unhappy/ unknown. When she played the music she really wanted to play in black metal, she became a respected songwriter and musician, and a Goddess!
I just listened to "Disillusion" by ABBA and the harmonies are quite dark and minor. Also the lyrics are very sad, introverted and meaningful. I think I will have to check out more by ABBA. Saying this, I am actually seeing myself as a metal head...
a king diamond fan , can' t be wrong all along the way !!!
such a talented woman, and such amazing picks! long live the King, and her cover of “Welcome Home” by KD is just incredible. loved this video 🤘
She is a treat.
JOAN BAEZ !!!!
I would say that ABBA have their own melancholy. Like the Pet Shop Boys have their own style of melancholy. Or some klezmer music.
And Portal and "Die Moldau" I am going to hear!
Bella Myrkur. Donna di grande cultura musicale.
Myrkur is amazing.
I agree with her about Abba. I never though of it as of "happy" music. Somehow I felt a lot of pain was hidden behind many of the songs and sugarwrapped into disco-tracks
Yes Myrkur you nailed that Portal...amazing choice, not forgetting his royal majesty King Diamond.
"Definition of a Rap Flow" is my favorite black metal song by Myrkur
im from Cleveland...orchestra is pretty stellar ;)
She is like an Angel :))
I just became a fan as soon as she lifted the merciful fate album
She Rocks!
Myrkur has a lovely way of talking about bands and their respective albums. I like to think she would get to see this comment section.. Anyway I would like to recommend the music of Shirley Collins and Davey Graham. Two great English folk artists.
Magnificent
She's has some nice picks, Abba, King Diamond, portal, and the Cleveland Symphony...
When she raised her eye brows real quick while talking about the aba record...whoah momma!
Cleveland orchestra! 😍
As much as I dislike Myrkur, but when she whipped out the Portal album towards the end that actually shocked me, I'll give her that one!! Portal is an obscure band! I actually appreciate when people whip something out of left field that can make you go "WOW".
Nice choices!
Where is Hipster Black Metal in this comment section?
Am here
Sorry, had work to do.
Fokin shet
Right here. Do the thinking for me too while you at it. I like Liturgy as well, please correct me too, It is always interesting to discuss with a professional troll.
Wow, that Soulja Boy lp was a surprise
hahaha you got me.
i was waiting for it ..damn you !
Imagine getting this upset at a joke.
LOL fully punked. Nice work.
Not trve
Abba's song Chiquitita has been covered by many musicians in latin america.
Joan Baez & King Diamond. She's alright by me
Exactly this! And then PORTAL!!!
Never heard of Portal before, but their WTF-factor is through the roof, so I have to look into them deeper... thanks for the recommendation Amalie! :)
Hipster Black Metal where are you?
I think she is awesome.
PORTAL
❤❤❤
She's Amazing!
