Myrkur has just announced the new EP 'Mausoleum,' nine acoustic reinventions of tracks from 'M' and two new songs recorded live with the Norwegian Girls' Choir in the Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum in Norway! The EP is due out this August 19 via Relapse Records.
The best live albums document extra-special concerts. For example, a hall-of-fame mega-band’s first ever visit to South America after 30 years. Or, metal’s greatest live band during their four-night stay at an L.A. arena in the glorious mid-’80s. Aerosmith wasted off their asses in their 20s. And now, an awesome black metal artist backed by a girls choir in an above-ground tomb. Yes!!!
That’s the newly announced EP by Myrkur. Titled Mausoleum, its tracks are “reinventions” of seven jams from last year’s best metal album, the awesome song that popped up a few months later on an Adult Swim thing, one from her debut EP, and a Bathory cover (hint: it’s fromHammerheart). Depending on the source, Mausoleum bears either one or two new songs, but the track list doesn’t show any. And it was recorded last year at a freaking mausoleum.
It’s acoustic enough to be mistaken for non-metal, but you know what they say about ‘the swing of the pendulum.’ Maybe this just sets up the next full Myrkur album to be extremely fast, insane black metal.
On the one year anniversary of her critically-acclaimed, masterful debut full-length 'M,' Danish black metal artist MYRKUR unveils a captivating live recording from the historic Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum in Oslo, Norway. Aptly titled Mausoleum, the album features beautifully dramatic & stripped down acoustic reinventions of seven songs from 'M' plus one brand new song and a Bathory cover; all accompanied by the Norwegian Girls Choir and Håvard (ex-Ulver) on guitar. Captured in a cold, dimly lit tomb covered in morbid frescos that depict the circle of human life from conception til death, 'Mausoleum' is an incredible showcase of MYRKUR's sublime yet haunting voice in a truly chilling, unrivaled atmosphere.
