Myrkur

Under the name Myrkur, Amalie Bruun has, across four albums, two EPs, and a staged work, created a distinctive artistic universe in which Scandinavian folk music, black metal, and cinematic soundscapes reflect one another. From the emotionally charged metal expressions of M (2015) and Mareridt (2017) to Folkesange (2020) and Spine (2023), where she found grounding in ancient ballads, mythology, and shared narratives, Myrkur has consistently moved between the familiar and the untested—between darkness and light, the brutal and the beautiful. In parallel, Myrkur has worked extensively with music for film, television, and theatre, including as a composer for Vikings: Valhalla on Netflix and as the creator of the soundtrack for Ragnarok at The Royal Danish Theatre. The cinematic and narrative dimensions have long been an integral part of her artistic language.
