Amalie Bruun has always paved her own path, challenging underground preconceptions of heavy metal ever since the release of her debut Myrkur EP in 2014. Her first two full-length studio albums, 2015’s M and 2017’s Mareridt, recast black metal in the most personal yet expansive of terms, their blending of Amalie’s Danish folk roots with tempestuous internal struggles breathing new life into a subgenre whose followers can be rigidly possessive.
With the release of her new album, Folkesange, Amalie Bruun has set out to journey into the very heart of the Scandinavian culture that marked her childhood. Folkesange relinquishes black metal for a refined yet far-reaching evocation of traditional folk, combining songs ancient and new to sublimely resonant effect.
After the nightmare-induced visions that wrought themselves throughout Mareridt, Folkesange offers an emotional sanctuary, a means to reconnect to something permanent and nature-aligned. It’s an awareness that’s become deeply bound to the album’s organic, regenerative spirit, from the opening track Ella’s heartbeat, frame-drum percussion and crystalline vocals that become the grounding for a rapt, richly textured awakening, to the gentle carousel of the closing Vinter, with its nostalgia-steeped connotations of seasonal, snowfall-bewitched awe.
Storytelling, rites of passage, and the invocation of a continuity that passes through time and generation are all part of folk music’s tapestry, and Folkesange taps into all these currents in their most essential form. In part a purist’s approach to the genre, free from over-interpretation and fusion, the use of traditional instruments throughout, such as nyckelharpa, lyre, and mandola offer a deeper, more tactile connection to their source, an unbroken line of communication back to the past.
But the album is no museum piece; it resonates in the here and now, aided by the spacious production of Heilung member and musical collaborator Christopher Juul. Cinematic yet intimate, Folkesange exists in a state of boundless reverie, bourne by string-led drones, cyclical, elegiac rhythms and Amalie’s frictionless voice, all carrier signals for deep-rooted, ancestral memories, and associations felt on an elemental level.
It’s a binding of the otherworldly and the earthy that echoes the the subject matter of many of the tales themselves. Written by Amalie, Leaves Of Yggdrasil’s medieval cadences bind tragic love story and mythology, full of both fairytale wonder and deeply human foible. Tor i Helheim, its dreamily persistent rhythm redolent of both innocence and encroachment, is based on a poem from the Icelandic Eddas, relating a journey into the underworld of Hel where the sparse nature of the accompaniment becomes the medium that carries you along in its thrall.
An immersive experience in its own right, but also belonging to a wider, pagan folk-based renaissance that has attracted a devoted following worldwide, Folkesange answers a need that has become ever more pressing in turbulent times. A zeroing in on a resonance that is both intrinsic and enduring, it’s a rediscovery of personal grounding, and an experience that reaches beyond culture to remind us of a shared, deeply rooted inheritance. A tuning fork that binds the personal and the universal, Folkesange is a reminder that the most transcendent experiences are those closest to home.

@Brit Sehnsucht most of the songs are from Scandinavian (and Celtic) folklore
You know in my home region of Germany there is a moment of mood we describe as "leawwiche Stubbe" (dialect for 'living room' aka room, which is alive) where the whole family was present and did their thing in the old days. Mom cooking, grandma sowing or knitting, a little oven fired up by grandpa, the cat and dog laying close to the heat, papa fixing shoes....
This music reminds me of these moments and I enjoy this type of music in a cosy atmosphere the most. It has something intimate.
A great album.
This is so lovely
what dialect is the word leawwiche stubbe from
@@thoorwulfn9z383 Middle Hassian, Germany.
@@pst5345 aye I guessed correctly, you guys really love your B's
@@thoorwulfn9z383 depending on the village you replace b with w ;)
That's a strange feel when I listen to that old and wild music. Nordic or slavic. I can feel a sweet, familiar nostalgy.
same here, some minutes later I was looking for yggdrasil and vegvisir tattos on the internet.
Its because we were all there back then, in our previous lives;)
European paganism is the same.
we used to have the same gods, by different names
@@Scuretat Very good point. Now it is just one god that somehow managed to replace the old, and slowly turned into the mammon adorned by the capitalist parasite
I feel like an ancient mom is singing me a lullaby
Because She Is
That's how I feel about Nina Hagen
I like this
@@Raventooth ahahahaah
I feel like this music should be in Assassin's Creed - Valhalla.
A true masterpiece, one of the best music albums i've ever heard .
This is the kind of music that awakens something deep inside your soul!
You wake up in your meditative trace because you have restless Curse the Hunter's Gene. It's Similar to Church Norris' don't sleep he "waits". Your steely gray-blue eyes scan the room for traces of any dust particle that can resembles a threat, only then you realize that you were not sleeping, you are in perfect harmony in your environment because there was no WERE because you ARE. Once a VIKING, you always will BE.
Thank you MYRKUR for keeping the European tradition alive! This Record is an enchanting experience! Greetings from Germany!
It is true, this is a great contribution to World Music scene, but especially to European Cultural Heritage and forgotten cultural Identity.
@@simonidastankovic2627 I never understood what the hell is "world music". I thought all music was world music. Unless the radio is giving us music from outer space, or something...
@@mindtraveller100 It sounds like marxist-globalist wording.
what european tradition? This is danish folk music, not european music.
@@MrJeanBombers and talking about European tradition as if Danish folk music is part of some nonexistent unified european culture, that sounds like fascist wording.
Stumbled upon this album in a record store today, didn’t know what it was at all but I had a feeling it had to be something good.
Came to say that I don’t regret my purchase :)
Where did you buy it
Definitely the best Scandinavian folk release I've ever heard.
I AGREE
I dunno mate.. that’s a big call, I dunno if it would top Wardruna’s Gap Var Ginnunga or any of the albums from the Runaljod trilogy..
Check out Folque; older band.
Hedningarna. Varttina. Eivor..
Check out the album Wardruna - Runaljod - Yggdrasil.
This is her best album to me, not that I do not like her heavy stuff, because i do think it is great. I'm just so glad she did a traditional Scandi folk album.
Cannot dissociate the music from the landscapes. This is breathtaking.
yeah, but she's from Denmark, the landscapes flat there. I bet the landscape's from Norway...
@@coltonsorrels8665 I had the same thought: this is definitely not Denmark lol. But who cares, any excuse is good to gaze at the wonderful landscapes of Norway
I love this. Scandinavian folk is my favourite type of folk music
This music is honey to my soul! Very happy that i found this album.
dat rosa mel apibus
I've listened to this so many times now, and it always feels kind of refreshing to me. At least once or twice a month there is something like an instinct inside of me which says 'I think this is what you need right know' and then, automatically, I start listening to Myrkur. This divine music has become a small but yet mesmerizing part of my life and I didn't even notice that until now. I'm so thankful this music exists!
This reminds me of the music in the movie The Last of the Mohicans. Haunting. Beautiful. Traditional folk songs with minor chords that pull mysteriously at your heartstrings. Cannot get enough of this mesmerizing music.
when the song Ramund started the drum i almost unlocked my past lives memories 💀💀
Not even a week has passed after the release of this album and is already one of my all-time favourites
I don't understand a word, but it keeps painting pictures in my mind. That's what I consider the heart of music. Your feelings and visions come to those who listen. Thank you for this great work!
My cats absolutely love this. It's like they're hypnotised when I play it.
@@Soundthebells77 just chilling :-P
I listen to this album at least once a week since its release. It fills me with joy and peace. Thank you and love from the UK
Im in love with this album... ❤❤❤❤
Try Kari Rueslaten and Eivor as well ;)
Me too!!!! Its very old feeling.
i know exactly how you feel
@Mike Wazowski The community has quite a few of these very alarming men around. I don't think they talk to many women beside their mothers, if even that.
@@MinecraftRick yeah this is an excellent album of myrkur
Love this album! Amalie's voice is incredible!
I would love to travel to the lands this music hails from. All of Scandinavia, and meet the people who call these countries home. Some of the tracks sound Celtic, there is a universal connection there. Love it. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️
Siempre había buscado este tipo de música, pero lo buscaba mal, yo buscaba música vikinga y me salían otros tipos de música. ⚒️⚒️ Hasta que al fin 🖤🖤 me apareció este video 🧚🧚🧚 Soy feliz 🖤🖤🖤
Damn, Ramund is such masterfully crafted song. Love the underlying textures and harmony.
Well, this entire album is a masterpiece; not a single weak song in it.
I listen so often to this Album and I never get tired of it. Each and every time, I'm equally enchanted as the first time I heard it.
I love this Album.
Music to heal and reconnect with the soul and nature. The romantic rousseaunian notion of going back to the Earth. To grasp the leaves, touch the trees and dance near a river. So many times i wished to leave the city life and escape into the deep of nature. Being enchanted by these songs i might do just that soon.
This music gets straight to my Slavic soul. Rod bless you.
Just got the package with the vinyl and long-sleeve shirt this morning. I'm quite lucky because everything is supposed to be shut down with the COVID outbreak. I'll listen to the vinyl this afternoon with my grandpa who loves this band :)
so wholesome, nice!
You and your granddad are now honorary Vikings. We'll be raiding England again as soon as everyone is vaccinated, more information to follow.
@@Nillerus Damn then I'll join as Viking Foreign Legion
@@takticalweeb9182 the more the merrier
@@Nillerus XD
one of the best music albums I have heard in my short life, a mature sound, with epic admospheres
Total lockdown. In my garden listening to this album while reading Robin Hobb's Royal Assassin, and enjoying every second of the whole experience.
The best series ever.
@@SujanraAcoma agreed
I went back and listened to her earlier works.. but nope, thanks! I am quite past this darkness luckily.. happy to hear such a wonderful change in her music!
Dark Valkyrie in my ears....this sound is so pure an innocent...dear mother of God!
I listen time after time and this never gets old.
Would love to visit your country to listen your beautiful traditional folk, one day when we are released from this Covid nightmare.
This album makes life even more worth living.
Mesmerizing, calming, soothing, healing, stirring, re-assuring and yet very, very metal...
Metaliful (beautiful metal) is a natural resource found in Icelandic and Scandinavian mountains.
True.

The metallic counterpart is to be found in Storm - Nordavind.
@@patriotedesplaines Excactly
No.
What a glorious day this is, having found this gem of music... praise the gods indeed
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND OUTSTANDING, SINCE LONG I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO DIFFERENT VOLK ARTISTS AND EVEN METAL BANDS BUT MYRKUR IS REMARKABLY EXTRAORDINARY
I've been listening to MYRKUR's work for months and had no idea she was dropping an album. I'm so excited yessssssss
Can't believe how good this is ! My favorite Myrkur record so far....!
It is her single-most-heavy album. It has the utmost power-- thus had me, and is still able to, drive me to the most intense feelings; may them be nostalgic, guiltful, shameful, heroic, proud, unkillable, eternal, full- of myself- and love. Once I flipped a Molly and listened to House carpenter one night on repeat,... almost killed me.
Those are some of the most beautiful songs I have heard in my life.
Please, bring more of this ecstasy to us.
Stærkt og rent! Sidder i det smukkeste landskab på Bornholm og lytter, i aftenstunden.
Thank you for putting this up complete. I think I am still going to buy one. What a masterpiece. Connects me with the past and my people.
Your music Heals my heart
Oh the first song that i am listening to is beautiful... God... what a blessing with this melody
Right. It gives me chills!
Always liked the more folkish stuff from her, so I really dig this record. Good one.
Absolutely agree, the black-metal phase was not real her...and certainly not ... the better her.
\This is her essence and true her at its best.
Love this release. It's like forgetting for 50 minutes of what's happening out there and making me long for simpler times. Keep up the amazing work, Amalie. You're an absolute gem.
Love both Irish and Norse folk. I enjoyed Myrkur's black metal beginnings but I am really liking the current pagan folk music she's putting out.
Words are not enough. Huge thanks to Amalie Bruun for being the uncompromising artist she is!
What a beautiful and wonderful gift you have gave us during these difficult times, we are very lucky by having the pleasure of listening to this beautiful music. Thank you Amelie!!
This album is perfect, achieves exactly what it set out to, to transport us to an ancient primordial world where there was far more nature than man.
This is the most beautiful music I ever heard. So glad I found Myrkur today. ❤
Originally I listened to this album once and then dropped it because I missed her black metal. Now that I've picked it up again, in a more folk-oriented mood, I can't stop listening to it.
Я в восторге....первые ощущения от прослушивания вообще не передаваемые, это охеренно)
1of the BEST things to happen in MUSIC since forever.
Love this Band so much I named a beloved cat from my family MYRKUR ✨🖤
The more I listen to this album - the more I love it and appreciate Myrkur's talent!
Forever associated with Yule 2021. Love this album
I'm studying while listening to this album. such a perfect motivator. thank you, Amalie ♥
Try Kari Rueslaten and Eivor as well ;)
@@danielnn5508 oh I know Eivor. thanks a lot :)
I wished for Myrkur to make an album like this ever since I heard her version of Tva Konungabarn. And here she is, providing is with an album that's beautiful and mystic. I couldn't be more happy! Been listening to this album for the 20th time now.
This album gave me an awesome vibe like Scarborough Fair. Loved it!
This gives me the chills and makes me think of how much I love my plants
This feels hauntingly familiar and nostalgic. It makes me long for the lands my ancestors called home.
I can help you with that, if you wish. I can suggest material for you to read, though I am by no means an expert
@@rudolfhess3153Reading materials? Yeah, I'm definitely open to that.
@@ScottJB I am looking for it myself to be honest, but I have heard that "nordic mythology"! by Neil Gaiman should be good. The eddas, which are 2 eddas, 2 long and old islandic scrolls are very awkward to read, because they are often written as: Poem in islandic, then translation and then the same over and over again. I have heard that book is more fluent, so go for that
@@rudolfhess3153 I'm a Germanic/Norse pagan, so turns out I have read or listened to those particular ones. I like the Jackson Crawford edition of the Eddas and Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology. NG does an especially good job with the audiobook version. I'd be interested in books on ancestral memory and reincarnation as well, as I feel constant familiarity and nostalgia with things from those lands from like the 19th century back to ancient times, which I noticed even when I was an atheist and thought it was all in my head. But it pulls like a magnet.
@@ScottJB You should go to Jelling. Jelling is a very significant viking city. That's where some of the early stone writings are, from Harald Blåtand. It's a free museum too, so you get a lot for your money
Чароўныя спевы! Як Сэрца і Душа, якія назаўжды разам і вырашаюць лёсы! Шчыра дзякуй за выкананне! Вашая мова вельмі прыгожая і мне родная!
The first album of my vinyl collection, I feel very at peace with it, It's very dear to me
This music is amazing, Your voice is so beautiful, and you are a very talented young lady. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Honnestly, this is the Myrkur we've all been waiting for, takk !
FINALY!
I love this so much. The last track always gives me Tim Burton/Danny Elfman vibes - in a good way.
That would be the Lydian mode that creates this atmposphere.
Because it's Lydian
ME TOO! It's so beautiful :)
I can't stop listening. Her work is soooo important.
You are an angel sent in a dark world. And I'm glad your here.
This album is juas amazing. Beautiful! The best album by Myrkur.
My favorite album of the year thus far. Been listening to it on repeat, especially when I'm reading.
Best thing to listen while remaining in quarantine. Thank you for your beautiful divine energy Amalie! What a wonderful musician who always puts her heart and soul into her work
I dived into this album by looking at its cover and I never dived out.
It´s so good...even though danish is a strange language even for a Swede haha...it works perfectly in songs
Its funny because, we danes would say the same about swedish - strange language, but sound good when put to singing :D
@@EmilReiko :) :) :)
danish actually sounds a bit like German with the very clear vocals and the r sound. The way Ramund is pronounced would be just the same in German.
Язык музыки сближает мысль
What an AMAZING album!!!..... I absolutely love her voice!!
Wonderful album!! Thanks a lot folks!! 👌🌹🌟
Saw the concert in DR Koncerthuset. What a magnificent show. Chills galore.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS MASTERPIECE!!!! MAY THE GODS BLESS YOU⚔🇮🇸🇧🇻🇺🇸AND OUR ANCESTORS SMILE DOWN AT US💪
А НАШИ НАМ 🇩🇰🇩🇪🇷🇺 😀🚀 ПРЕКРАСНО! DANKE!!! Полагаю, нас всех скоро ждёт что-то вроде средневековья с технологиями. Нужно быстрее возвращаться к своим корням чтобы остаться людьми. Наши предки были мудрее нас.
That cover of House Carpenter is so lovely
Fuck, I haven't felt like this listening to an album in such a long time. This is both haunting and beautiful.
C'est pour ça que je ne me lasserai jamais du metal, c'est pour sa diversité
True European traditional music and spirit. I love it!
I agree
Absolutely!
This is touching my very heart. Beautiful. Stunning. Love it.
Speechless, this album is the pristine nature of Myrkur.
This is the second time in my entire musical life post queen that I don't skip more than 2 songs in an album.
One never should skip while listening to good music...
Thank you so very much for sharing it with us. Working from home in this unimagineable moment, I've listened to it probably 5 times today. I'm feeling great, I can say that... Thank you!
Such a beautiful voice and atmospheric music.
Celestial voice and perfect sound pattern of the Nordic language - fondling the ears. Tender melodies - capable of patching torn souls. And recalling the image of the angelic singer is balm to the eyes. Thank you.
As amazing this is. I still would dig a solo album recorded in the woods, no mastering, just a soulful raw album.
шикарно просто шикарно! до мурашек по коже , голос завораживает
Elsker albumet! Bilde på albumet gjør det bare enda bedre.
🇳🇴
Wow.... very good. This is the One, after "Suldusk - Lunar Falls"
Przepiękna płyta. Teraz już wiem jak śpiewają Syreny. Dziękuję Myrkur...
As metal as it gets and not a distorted guitar in sight,- and I´m a Scandinavian metalhead....
Vikingr metal / Nordic folk - same thing...
All hail
Rejoice
Enjoy
Kinna needs guitars to be metal dude. That's one of the the core defining features of metal. This is folk.
Потрясающе !!! with love from Russia !
RUS
Hauntingly beautiful! Words cannot adequately describe this album
Mi piace la musica Myrkur! È molto brava e bellissima!
I love music which was invented by our ancestors folks. They used simple instruments and made great music with important words connected with birth, death, weddings, love and hate.
Ludovica I am waiting for
Such a beautiful compilation, I have just found you and absolutely love your music, and your heavenly voices. I am in Australia and will listen forever. Thank you for your music, it puts me in such a lovely space. Blessings to all of you.😇
