MYRKUR Streaming “Onde Børn” Track, Recorded In Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum
August 9, 2016, 8 years ago
Danish composer Amalie Bruun, better known as Myrkur, has unveiled a live recording of "Onde Børn”, streaming below.
Bruun explains, "Onde Børn (Wicked Children)" is a song that I wrote as a tribute to my supporters and it feels powerful to play it live, for them, with them. Performing it with the girls choir in the Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum was a beautiful experience, the dark mood in the cold tomb, the crystal clear voices of the girls. There is room for very few people in the Mausoleum, but my whole Norwegian "family" was there, people who worked on 'M' and so forth. A night I will never forget and which I'm excited to share with you."
Myrkur has reimagined Bathory's "Song To Hall Up High". This version was also recorded live in the historic Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum in Oslo, Norway alongside the eight other beautifully dramatic and stripped-down acoustic reinventions of songs from her critically-acclaimed, masterful debut full-length M.
Mausoleum was captured in a cold, dimly-lit tomb covered in morbid frescos that depict the circle of human life from conception til death, all with the accompaniment of the storied Norwegian Girls Choir and Håvard (ex-Ulver) on guitar. Mausoleum is an incredible showcase of Myrkur's sublime yet haunting voice in a truly chilling, unrivaled atmosphere. Hear "Jeg er guden, I er tjenerne”, streaming below.
Mausoleum is due out on August 19th on CD/LP/Digital via Relapse.
