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 nåleskoven så prægtig og stor
en liden elleskudt pige der bor
af iskrystaller er hendes hår
men når mørket kalder isen slå skår
Little eyes following me now
little eyes following me now
Han hører kaldet langt ude på fjeld
Den væne fæstemø hun sang sig ihjel
Han løb mod skoven for at frelse sin brud
men fra underverdenen slap hun aldrig ud
Little eyes following me now
little eyes following me now
Elf-struck
in the pine forest so grand and great
a little elf-struck girl lives
of ice crystals is her hair
but when darkness calls, the ice breaks to shards
Little eyes following me now
little eyes following me now
He hears the calling far out on the mountain
The fair betrothed she sang herself to death
He ran towards the forest to rescue his bride
but from the underworld she never escaped
Little eyes following me now
little eyes following me now
