Description:
With M, Myrkur expands her vision into a vast and immersive soundscape, where ferocious black metal coexists with ancient Nordic folk, choral arrangements, and ritualistic atmosphere. The album feels elemental — shaped by earth, wind, and ancestral memory — balancing raw intensity with haunting beauty.
Blistering tremolo riffs and relentless drumming collide with hymnal choirs, traditional instrumentation, and Amalie Bruun’s expressive vocal range, shifting seamlessly between savage screams and ethereal cleans. The compositions are more expansive and cinematic than before, giving the album a sense of timelessness and spiritual gravity.
M is both confrontational and reverent, embracing extremity while honoring tradition. It channels darkness not only as aggression, but as myth, ritual, and emotional depth — black metal transformed into something deeply atmospheric and almost sacred.
For fans of Ulver (early era), Wardruna, Agalloch, and black metal infused with folk spirit and cinematic scope, Mstands as a defining work — powerful, evocative, and richly textured. An album where fury and reverence burn side by side.
