With her sophomore full length, <e,>Mareridt coming out on September 15th, one-woman act Myrkur has managed to stand with one foot in haunting ambience and the other in nihilistic black metal. Many times, that happens in the same song. And while there was some mystery leading up to the first album as to who the act was, Amalie Bruun’s talent and songwriting craft have simply made that irrelevant by now. <em>Decibel has premiered a song, “Shadows of Silence,” that not only won’t be on Mareridt, but is her first song sung in English. You can pick it up via the magazine’s Flexi series on vinyl, or just stream it below. The album will be out on September 15th on Relapse, and while you can’t hear this on it, you can preorder it here.
