Danish one-woman black metal project Myrkur ("darkness" in Icelandic) burst onto the scene like a Valkyrie into battle in mid 2014 with her eponymous debut EP on renowned independent label Relapse Records.  Combining the rawness of second wave black metal bands like Ulver and Darkthrone with a natural sonic, ethereal beauty, Myrkur created a wholly unique perspective on the genre that quickly caused a firestorm of attention and praise from fans and critics alike.
