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:

Born at night
Many are called, few are chosen

open mouth
swallow up the lakes frozen

Am I adored?
je suis votre amour
am I a whore?
cause you are the drug
solitary are the things i know
in my garden they leave me alone

Soft as blood
an open heart holds no reason
slice me up
Cause your love was steeped in treason

Am I adored?
je suis votre amour
am i your whore?
cause you are the drug

solitary are the things i know
in my garden they leave me alone

sleep little darling
mother virgin
darkness serpent come to feed me
sleep little darling
bathed in moonlight

on her head a crown of twelve stars
