Mareridt (translation: Nightmare) is the highly anticipated sophomore full-length from renowned 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 the dark and the light; the moon and the mother earth; the witch and the saint. MYRKUR explores deeper into the mysterious and the feminine with 11 tracks that further progress her visionary blend of metal with gorgeous, stirring melodies, dark folk passages, choral arrangements and superb, horrific beauty. Further taking MYRKUR to new artistic heights are lyrics in multiple languages, an unforgettable collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe and an array of special instrumentation including violin, mandola, folk drums, nyckelharpa (an ancient Swedish key harp), and Kulning (an ancient Scandinavian herding call). Mareridt is a profound manifestation of nightmares that demonstrates MYRKUR as one of the truly exceptional artists of our time.

Lyrics:

der stod tre piker på det høgande fjell
såg utover dybe hav
der ser de et skip komme seilende
der ser de et skip komme seilende
som på det tre grever var

den aller yngste greven
som der på skipet var
han ville visst trolova sig
han ville visst trolova sig
enn sjølv så ung han var

så tok han av seg ringen
den var av gullet rent
tak den, tak den du vennen min
tak den, tak den du vennen min
tak den og bli som min

men hva vil min moder sige
når jeg kommer hjem igjen
sig at, sig at du har funne den
sig at, sig at du har funne den
i skogens grønne li
