Myrkur

Myrkur, the one-woman black metal project of Ex-Cops' Amalie Brunn, is set to release her "M" LP later this month on Relapse Records, and with a production assist from Ulver's Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg, it's shaping up to be a monster.  Listen to the Norwegian fury and Celtic tones of "Hævnen" below.

New music from Myrkur

One woman black metal band Myrkur (Ex-Cops' Amalie Bruun) is hard at work on a full length LP, following her excellent self-titled EP from last year.  Take a listen to the demo version of "Skaði" below and be on the lookout for the as-of-yet untitled LP later this year on Relapse.  If the album is as good as this demo, be prepared.

 And we're off.  I drank too much today.  Free beer + hanging out with one of my oldest friends in the world generally gets us both in trouble.  We did manage to catch some great music though, courtesy of Consequence of Sound.  Check out the pics below.

 In the evening, we caught a little bit of a different show that was supposed to include a performance from Jandek, but he cancelled last minute, which made me a sad panda.  The synth-goth of Troller made up for it though.
