Mareridt (translation: Nightmare) is the highly anticipated sophomore full-length from renowned Danish composer and multi-instrumentalist MYRKUR. Recorded between Copenhagen and Seattle with producer Randall Dunn (Marissa Nadler, Earth, Sunn O))), Boris, Wolves In The Throne Room), Mareridt is a rich juxtaposition of the dark and the light; the moon and the mother earth; the witch and the saint. MYRKUR explores deeper into the mysterious and the feminine with 11 tracks that further progress her visionary blend of metal with gorgeous, stirring melodies, dark folk passages, choral arrangements and superb, horrific beauty. Further taking MYRKUR to new artistic heights are lyrics in multiple languages, an unforgettable collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe and an array of special instrumentation including violin, mandola, folk drums, nyckelharpa (an ancient Swedish key harp), and Kulning (an ancient Scandinavian herding call). Mareridt is a profound manifestation of nightmares that demonstrates MYRKUR as one of the truly exceptional artists of our time.

Lyrics:
Dét er rummet de gør det i
Det skal koste penge nu
Du åbner munden
I bare my teeth
You touch my skin
I open wide and let you come in
Howling howling praying to the sun
Åh min vakre Sora
Always coming down
Beskidte hore du fortjener det, alt de har gjort ved dig
In pale moonlight
We bathe in blue
A sacrifice of life born new
They fear our kind
They hunt us down
They hear our screams
Like animals
Donna, donna always come around
Oh mi kona kona always coming down
Donna donna they will burn you down
Oh mi kona kona they will make you drown
