Myrkur Albums
Myrkur is a Danish black metal band led by singer Amalie Bruun. Myrkur is a solo project within the genre of second-wave black metal. Initially, the real-life identity of the person behind the project was kept unknown. Her identity has since been made public. Myrkur has released three full-length studio albums to significant critical acclaim, as well as a live album and one EP. Her most recent album,'' Folkesange'', was released on 20 March 2020 through Relapse Records. The name of the project comes from an Icelandic word meaning "darkness."
