Myrkur is the musical project of Danish musician Amalie Bruun, known for blending elements of black metal and Scandinavian folk traditions.

Project led by Amalie Bruun (Danish). Publicly associated genres include black metal and folk. The album Folkesange is presented as an acoustic, folk-oriented record (lyrics largely in Danish, with one exception) and the review references a cover image from a painting by Hans Dahl.

Niklaus's review defends Myrkur's Folkesange against accusations of inauthenticity, praising Amalie Bruun's voice and arrangements. The record is presented as a luminous, acoustic folk work rather than a black metal release. The review also calls out gendered prejudices in metal criticism.

For:Fans of Nordic folk and adventurous black metal listeners open to acoustic/folk directions; readers interested in discussions of authenticity and gender in metal.

 Amalie Bruun is talented, she has skill, her musical and vocal exploration is well above the average of the genre, Garm is no fool and clearly saw the potential of the excellent Danish artist, and I personally thank him for producing this project.
