Myrkur is getting an idea of where she wants to be as an artist, as well as where her strengths currently lie. While "Mareridt" is still a slightly disorganized record, you can really feel how the pieces are starting to come together into an honestly cohesive and identifiable sound for the artist, despite this time sounding more like Enya-meets-Chelsea Wolfe, rather than Ulver. The clear homages to Wolfe do make this in parts feel a bit less original, but Myrkur more often than not put enough of their own spin on tracks like "Funeral" (which features Wolfe on vox) and "The Serpent" to still feel like their own. This is a good, all-around step forward for Myrkur. The writing still isn't fantastic (it's fairly derivative) and stylistically it jumps around a bit, but it's on the whole a generally good record. Which is a very welcomed surprise.

With dark folk, atmoblack, and a gorgeous voice, Myrkur knew she had a potent aesthetic that could carry her then-lack of songwriting chops. Mareridt is ultimately nice, but fails to be much more than that.

A wandering and epic adventure taken with a dark folk, nordic folk and metal (atmospheric black, doom) soundtrack. Amalie Bruun absolutely knocks it out of the ballpark as the guide for this entire piece with traditional nordic folk singing, black metal shrieks and the ethereal cleans that make up the majority of the vocals on the album. Mareridt flawlessly transitions between intense metal riffs, chuggy doom bits and purely string driven folk moments. As a whole the experience feels cinematic with each song being a scene. Myrkur's ability to pull off such adjoin such a deep variety of moods and styles is impressive and it makes for one of the more interesting folk/nordic/metal music blends in recent memory; there is nothing boring, over-the-top or forced here.
