The project of Danish singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, model, and actor Amalie Bruun, Myrkur embraces everything from black metal to traditional Scandinavian folk. Named for an Icelandic word for “darkness,” Myrkur’s 2015 debut, M, was produced by Ulver’s Garm and included other personnel from that band as well as horns and strings. Bruun added traditional folk instrumentation to 2017’s Mareridt, and she expanded that direction with 2020’s Folkesange, where her vibrato-less vocals evoked deep-rooted ancestral memories and spiritual associations in the album’s story-songs. By the time of 2023’s Spine, Bruun had embraced pop structure while retaining elements of Scandic folk and black metal she’d based her sound on in the past.

Wow! What a gig, and what a woman!

The talent just flows out of her, and she commands such attention!

I was very happy to be at this gig. I have had my eye on Myrkurs work since the first announcement that she was working on the EP. Once her first full album, 'M', came out I was itching for a chance to see her live. After not quite being able to justify the funds to go see her play at the mausoleum in Copenhagen, i was thrilled when the London giv was announced.

The support bands were announced about a fortnight before the gig, and after a cheeky search on youtube i decided i wasnt perhaps too excited about seeing them, but luckily i found out that i was very wrong about that once i arrived at the gig. Fen in particular were just amazing! Then Myrkur came on stage and did her thing. The music was a little different to the album in places, as she didnt have the backing vocals from the choir she uses on home soil, but the band did a damn good job in their parts, and Myrkur herself was more fantastic than i could have ever hoped for. I was so lucky as to be standing just behind her keyboard for the entire set and the crowd was responding wonderfully to the whole thing so it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience all round.

This was my first ever Black Metal gig, and i loved it! A very different atmosphere to Death Metal gigs! And what a gig to have as my first. :)

To top off an already amazing night, I was very lucky to meet Myrkur after the gig and she was just lovely! Got my photo taken with her, which i will cherish always, and she seemed so down to Earth that it just left me with a real sense of feeling appreciated as a fan rather than there being a divide between myself and her as an artist.

All in all, a perfect gig. I cant wait for her to come back. :)

Report as inappropriate

What a night. Two unique performances.

Support act Jo Quail is a solo cellist who uses an electric cello an real time sampling to prodyce multi-layered compositions that have so many dimensions you have to keep reminding yourself there's only one artist on the stage. A unique experience.

Myrkur is another one off. Folk music and dark metal might not be the most obvious of bed mates but Amalie (Myrkur's creator and main instrumentalist/vocalist) has created a sound that blew me away when I first heard her supporting Epica last year. As soon as I heard she was running a headline tour I knew I had to be there.

She plays two sets. The first is a trip through Nordic folk music with Danish, Norwegian and Swedish songs complemented by a Scottish tragedy and an air from the Polish video game "The Witcher".

Everyone then vanishes from the stage only for Amalie to reappear a few minutes later accompanied by the more "expected" electric guitarists and a drummer for the second set. Gone are the soft traditional folk musings to be replaced by overdriven guitars and pulsating drums. Amalie herself is transformed to a different personality; darker, louder yet still, for the most part, with her stunning pure vocals. Only occasionally does she scream or growl but it all fits and combines to give one of the best gigs I have ever been to. Don't let the "black metal" tag put you off - I think Myrkur is essential listening for folk and metal fans alike.

Massively overrated is an understatement. Easily the least enjoyable band that went on stage. An hour break to drink and socialize would have been better.

Sounds like neutered black-metal-in-name-only music with excessively reverberated sirens' wails laid on top. Occasional tasteless scream.

Feels like a pop record label's attempt at manufacturing extreme metal.

Brilliant performance! A bit unexpected: it was all acoustic. 2 singers, 1 sort-of-lute, 1 sort-of-violin and herself on Piano and tambourine (?).

The repertoire was mostly Scandinavian folk. And oh my god, what a voice she has!!! Magical. This did ring a bell in the far distance of the likes of Loreena McKennith.

Recommended!

Completely blown away by the band's performance. Amalie's voice could switch in moments from hauntingly beautiful to beautifully Haunting. Fuzz is also a spectacular venue for this kind of gig. The Sound was absolute perfection

Incredible gig. Unique and utterly brilliant. Highly recommended. Can't wait to see Myrkur again. Fantastic combination of Scandinavian folk music and black metal. Live show is even better than the recording.

Absolutely amazing, I really hope to see her again soon and I hope she has Jo Quail with her again because she was unreal! Ugh one of the best gigs I’ve been to lately and I’ve been to some good gigs!

Taylor Swift will soon launch the European, UK and Ireland legs of her record-breaking Eras tour.

Over the past year, the 34-year-old pop star has been performing her career-spanning shows at stadiums around the world, including North America, Tokyo, Melbourne, Sydney and Singapore.

A month after the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Society, she will continue the Eras tour with four nights in Paris at the La Défense Arena.

After this, she will perform two shows in Lisbon, Portugal, then a further two nights in Madrid, Spain, and Lyon, France.

UK-based fans (and those travelling to see Swift from overseas) will then get to see her live during three nights from 7 to 9 June at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland, before she heads to Liverpool and Cardiff.

Swift is booked to perform a staggering eight shows at Wembley Stadium in London, with the first three taking place between 21 and 23 June, before she returns for the final five nights of her UK and Europe tour between 15 and 20 August.

In between those, she will have also played in Dublin, Ireland, in Amsterdam, Zurich, Milan, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg and Munich in Germany, Warsaw in Poland, and Vienna, Austria.

Ticketmaster recently announced a major update for fans with tickets to see Swift this summer.

In a five-star review of the very first show of Swift’s Eras tour , critic Kelsey Barnes wrote how the US star guided fans through more than a decade’s worth of “her best work”.

“Her ‘Eras Tour’ was designed as a journey through that staggering back catalogue of 10 albums, from her earlier country twang on her self-titled debut to the shift to synth-pop on 1989 , then to the subdued folk and alt-rock of Folklore and Evermore ,” she wrote.

“Throughout the opening night of the tour, it frequently feels as though the audience is being caught up with Swift’s past, present and future. In the 44-song setlist that spans three hours and 15 minutes, she shows why the “era” concept is so integral to who she is. Each chapter marks a specific shift in her artistry.”

The Tortured Poets Department, released on 19 April, is the pop titan’s 11th studio album. It appears to have been inspired, in part, by the five stages of grief. Ahead of the release, Swift shared five new playlists that arrange her songs into those stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

“These songs represent making room for more good in your life,” she says in a brief audio message that accompanied the final playlist, acceptance. “Making that choice. Because a lot of time when we lose things, we gain things too.”
