More about 'Spine'

Danish multi-instrumentalist Myrkur returns with "Spine", a haunting exploration that continues her unique blend of atmospheric black metal and Nordic folk traditions. The album showcases Amalie Bruun's evolution as an artist, weaving together ethereal vocals, crushing metal passages, and traditional Scandinavian instrumentation into something that feels both ancient and refreshingly modern. Tracks like "Like Humans" and "Mothlike" demonstrate her ability to shift seamlessly between delicate, almost whispered melodies and ferocious black metal intensity, while "Valkyriernes Sang" pays homage to her Nordic heritage with traditional folk elements.

The production on "Spine" allows each element to breathe while maintaining the raw power that makes Myrkur's music so compelling. Songs like "My Blood Is Gold" and the title track "Spine" showcase her range as both a composer and performer, building from intimate acoustic moments to walls of tremolo-picked guitars and blast beats. The album feels like a natural progression from her previous work, yet pushes into new territory that will satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers to her distinctive sound.

Alcest, Wolves in the Throne Room, Agalloch, Ulver, and Drudkh
