Myrkur?

They call her style 'Black Metal'. She does some of the demon scream voice I hate, but her music is something altogether different. It can be almost classical, but with that twist that makes it some almost spooky in ways. When she sings in normal voice, it comes across as nearly choral in tone. Maybe it's the overdubbing recording.

She's Danish and doesn't sing in English, so I don't understand any of it, but I find it very peaceful and relaxing .... as long as she doesn't go demon voice.

In short, I like it. Most of it.

I appreciate black metal, and can listen to it analytically, picking out cool things and stuff I like, but I don't enjoy listening to it recreationally. Too loud.

This isn't like that. It's really rather pleasant, though with that spooky black touch. This isn't thrash metal.

I'll give it a listen later when I get some free time. Mellow black metal sounds like it would be up my alley :^)

"Onde børn" (Evil kids) was my introduction. Track three on 'M':

"Featuring a black and gothic metal sound, the album melds influences from various genres, including second wave black metal, atmospheric post-metal, gothic, darkwave, Scandinavian folk and classical music.[1] The album was named the Best Hard Rock Album of 2015 by Gaffa."

I've been promoting her in the metal thread, me being Danish and all...

I have her folk album...

Folkesange, by Myrkur

12 track album

I think it was IronWing that turned me on to it. I've gotten a few good tips from him. Y'all should pay attention when he posts something musical.

Our girl does more than metal. Our girl is more versatile and wide ranging.

Metal is more versatile and wide ranging than it used to be.

So, gang... is it appropriate to describe metalcore bands as metal?

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Amalie is bigger than mere metal.

Amalie, Simone and Floor together could cause the planets to de-align and the stargate to erupt.


Add in Lzzy and Annke and well ... time eternal would be at risk.

 

[nakedfrog]

What's Lzzy doing in this discussion? Did Halestorm ever put out anything that wasn't mid-tier hard rock?

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

She did a stint with TSO that'll knock yer socks off.

Sure why not. Whatever you'd call metalcore now has far less punk and more hard rock so I'm not sure what else you'd call it.

Yeah, metal today is most music that has a certain aggressive vibe/edge in the sound.

Next year the Prodigy is headlining Copenhell, and is while they are not metal in traditional sense, their aggressive sound fits a metal festival perfectly.

Also a band like Electric Callboy, that mixes pop, edm and death core is still metal imo.

I think it is refreshing to see bands playing and mixing the genres, and artists should do exactly what they feel like.

I didn't listen to Myrkurs 'folkesange' because while they are beautiful, I found them quite boring.
Her newest album is not my favorite either, even though I can hear the qualities, as I prefer the more raw sound on her earlier albums.
