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.
@@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
@@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...
@@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 :)
One of my favourite albums of all time this is,without a doubt. When I listen to this,everything else just drifts away,a purely beautiful,masterpiece of Art in my opinion,stunning !!!
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.
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.
@@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 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!
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.
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!
please save your beautiful indigenous nordic culture! good vibes from a indigenous American person! don't let them destroy your heritage and race as they did with us!
They pretty much did, alot longer ago than they did in the Americas in fact. This genre is about the destruction of Norse paganism by the invading Christians.
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 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️
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.
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.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND OUTSTANDING, SINCE LONG I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO DIFFERENT VOLK ARTISTS AND EVEN METAL BANDS BUT MYRKUR IS REMARKABLY EXTRAORDINARY
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 :)
Metaliful (beautiful metal) is a natural resource found in Icelandic and Scandinavian mountains. True. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pqnMkUcTmys.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A6j7mUxGz20.html
Listening to this music, I feel like Valhalla is real and the Old Gods are somehow talking to these amazing artists. About the live concert with this music that they had thru internet streaming (because of the pandemic restrictions), if Myrkur would decide to release the recording of it for sale, I would instantly buy it.
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!!
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.
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!
May God be with you, I am against aggravated warfare, which is what Russia did you by invading your country. I believe in the ancient law of Karma, which simply means that which you give out you receive back. I don’t think Putin can honestly keep his war of destruction going . From what I have read on the world news, he is in bad health. This could be his Karma already. So be at peace, while keeping strong in your fight to reclaim your country. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@ВикторНечаев-н3д та, кляті англосакси напали на Україну, та розбомбили Харків, Маріуполь, а в Бучі та Ірпені стріляли мирним людям в затилок. От же ж негідники.
@@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
This is awsome.I have all your previous albums,but i believe this one is the best among them all.It is very important for us to have something like this to fill our days and nights staying at home.I hope everyone gets out stronger and healthier after this adventure is over.Thank you Myrkur,,thank you Amelie.Greetings from Athens,Hellas
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
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.😇
