Myrkur - 'Ragnarok' (Original Soundtrack)

Myrkur (σημαίνει "σκοτάδι" στα Ισλανδικά) είναι το μουσικό project της 38χρονης (είχε γενέθλια στις αρχές του έτους) Δανέζας τραγουδίστριας Amalie Bruun που κινείται σε dark / folk μουσικά μονοπάτια. Μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:

«Though the word "myrkur" means "darkness" in Icelandic, MYRKUR (aka Amalie Bruun)'s music is far from monochromatic. With its distinct sense of Nordic isolation, MYRKUR's compositions are at once savage and delicate. Choral and folk elements abound, lending the music a mystical, legendary quality and an untouchable equilibrium between dark and light.»

Έχουν ήδη κυκλοφορήσει τέσσερις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (συν δύο EPs, ένα live album και μπόλικα singles). Ο τέταρτος -και πλέον πρόσφατος- φέρει τον τίτλο "Ragnarok" και "βγήκε" στις αρχές του μήνα (2 Ιουνίου 2023)...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Over a year ago I sat down with the script and started writing the music. Seeing it come to life with this epic theater play, incredible actors, artists, extras etc has been a very moving experience for me. And now it just got even better, because I get to share the soundtrack with all of YOU too. I want to express my gratitude to the Danish Royal Theater and Heinrich Christensen for trusting me as a composer, it is truly an honor to be a part of this. I hope you all enjoy a trip to Valhalla and the final battle of the gods and the underworld.»
