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:
i en sortgrøn skov
hvor solens lys ej trænger ind
her ligger jeg i det mørke træhus
hvor støvet hvirvler om mit ansigt
en kronhjort svæver deroppe
dens øjne er så sorte
og fulde af raseri
i voldsomt fart den falder ned
den vil knuse mine knogler
gennemspidde mit bryst
i det lille hus jeg ligger alene
men jeg hører nogen hoste
bag det mørke kammers lukkede port
derinde ligger en død kone
hun pludselig farer op mod mig
jeg falder for hendes fødder
Og på det støvede stengulv
jeg overgiver mig til dig
