Myrkur is a solo black metal project by Danish singer Amalie Bruun.

"[6] The musical influences of Myrkur range from traditional Scandinavian folk to the black metal genre.

[6] Folkesange contains narrative "story-songs" performed on instruments appropriate to the ancient pagan folk music that Bruun included within the album, alongside modern original compositions as well.

On September 16 that same year, Myrkur debuted with a self-titled EP on which Bruun provided the vocals, played all guitars and bass and produced the album.

The album featured acoustic and choral reinterpretations of her previously released material with the assistance of the Norwegian Girls Choir and Håvard Jørgensen, former guitarist in Ulver.
