The song “Valkyriernes Sang” is the latest sneak preview of Myrkur‘s forthcoming new album “Spine” to be shared online. The song, which is sung in her native Danish, is now streaming below.
Myrkur herself (aka Amali Bruun), commented:
“I wrote this song after diving into different interpretations of the old Norse sagas again, particularly Njál’s saga and the poems about the valkyrier – ‘Spydsangen’ (‘The Song of the Spear’). I have always been fascinated with the figures of Valkyrier in Norse mythology, their power, their role in the battles, in Valhalla and with Odin.”
“Spine” will be out on October 20th.
