Contrary to popular belief, Burzum fans like myself (despite not being a Varg fan) can enjoy beautiful music like this too! This carries you on those "mental journeys" that only few artists can produce, in this case black metal which is something that I love about this genre. Buy this if you love the genre, want to try something different (one woman project!), and enjoy the journeys that music can take you through.

Don't listen to those butt hurt Burzum fans, this album is great. Wonderful use of sound to invoke dread and elements of mysticism. Fans of dark goth bands like Dead Can Dance will also find something to love.

Utter crap.

Looking forward to seeing her open for Behemoth in May!

Pretty much unique in my experience. Heavily atmospheric and a great mix of clean and death vocals. Musically it's like post-metal meets black metal.

But for an album produced by Garm of Ulver. I expected something a little different.

It's not

Metal record of the year. Holy hell, this is amazing.

Yes, this is a one-WOMAN black metal band. A lot of bands with women fronting them, let's face it, aren't that heavy. This is, however, the ultimate exception! First track "Haevnen" has very atmospheric and heavy vibe, almost like the ways of Xasthur. Very very brutal. The next track "Odne Born", isn't as grinding, but the composition is BEAUTIFUL! It's sounds anywhere between Enya and Agalloch. STELLAR! Myrkur may not be the black metal band of choice for certain black metal purists, but if you're looking for a little something different, this album should be $11 well spent.
