Aug 21, 2015Produced by Garm of Ulver, the textures of M are even more finely hewn and interwoven than its predecessor, resulting in a record that is at once profoundly tactile and deeply sensual.
-
Aug 20, 2015Danish raven Amalie Bruun integrates extreme intensity into both genres' [goth/black metal's] inherent drama.
-
Sep 17, 2015The lyrics are in a combination of Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic, so it’s anyone’s guess what Bruun is talking about. Luckily,the music speaks for itself.
-
Sep 10, 2015M displays gift for balancing atmosphere and songcraft that will reward numerous listens.
-
Aug 25, 2015By conveying the masculine and feminine duality inherent in old musical traditions and modern musical developments, Bruun has composed a truly rewarding record that defies direct categorisation.
-
Aug 21, 2015Myrkur's music melds all of her adopted stylistic elements, lets their seams show, and emerges with an innovative, alchemical creation of her own. M expands on black metal's boundaries yet holds its dark, foreboding spirit close.

Kerrang!Aug 20, 2015For those who like black metal to creep up and slowly drain the light from the world like a suffocating nightmare, Myrkur are manna from Hell. [22 Aug 2015, p.53]
-
Aug 31, 2015Bruun has sealed many of the foundational cracks in her compositions and owned the audacity of the project and the form at large.
-
Aug 20, 2015M doesn’t differentiate itself greatly from the early work of many black metal artists. That said, the album shines with potential and the promise that a more unique followup waits further down the trail.
-
Aug 20, 2015What remains Bruun’s strongest suit is the way she juxtaposes the extremity of her influences. She comes out of more subdued sections to use blast beats like scare tactics, drops in glacial vocal harmonies as soothing lullabies.
-
Aug 25, 2015M is painfully bland and too on the nose.
