Amalie Bruun has always paved her own path, challenging underground preconceptions of heavy metal ever since the release of her debut Myrkur EP in 2014. Her first two full-length studio albums, 2015’s M and 2017’s Mareridt, recast black metal in the most personal yet expansive of terms, their blending of Amalie’s Danish folk roots with tempestuous internal struggles breathing new life into a subgenre whose followers can be rigidly possessive. With the release of her new album, Folkesange, Amalie Bruun has set out to journey into the very heart of the Scandinavian culture that marked her childhood. Folkesange relinquishes black metal for a refined yet far-reaching evocation of traditional folk, combining songs ancient and new to sublimely resonant effect. After the nightmare-induced visions that wrought themselves throughout Mareridt, Folkesange offers an emotional sanctuary, a means to reconnect to something permanent and nature-aligned. It’s an awareness that’s become deeply bound to the album’s organic, regenerative spirit, from the opening track Ella’s heartbeat, frame-drum percussion and crystalline vocals that become the grounding for a rapt, richly textured awakening, to the gentle carousel of the closing Vinter, with its nostalgia-steeped connotations of seasonal, snowfall-bewitched awe. Storytelling, rites of passage, and the invocation of a continuity that passes through time and generation are all part of folk music’s tapestry, and Folkesange taps into all these currents in their most essential form. In part a purist’s approach to the genre, free from over-interpretation and fusion, the use of traditional instruments throughout, such as nyckelharpa, lyre, and mandola offer a deeper, more tactile connection to their source, an unbroken line of communication back to the past. But the album is no museum piece; it resonates in the here and now, aided by the spacious production of Heilung member and musical collaborator Christopher Juul. Cinematic yet intimate, Folkesange exists in a state of boundless reverie, bourne by string-led drones, cyclical, elegiac rhythms and Amalie’s frictionless voice, all carrier signals for deep-rooted, ancestral memories, and associations felt on an elemental level. It’s a binding of the otherworldly and the earthy that echoes the the subject matter of many of the tales themselves. Written by Amalie, Leaves Of Yggdrasil’s medieval cadences bind tragic love story and mythology, full of both fairytale wonder and deeply human foible. Tor i Helheim, its dreamily persistent rhythm redolent of both innocence and encroachment, is based on a poem from the Icelandic Eddas, relating a journey into the underworld of Hel where the sparse nature of the accompaniment becomes the medium that carries you along in its thrall. An immersive experience in its own right, but also belonging to a wider, pagan folk-based renaissance that has attracted a devoted following worldwide, Folkesange answers a need that has become ever more pressing in turbulent times. A zeroing in on a resonance that is both intrinsic and enduring, it’s a rediscovery of personal grounding, and an experience that reaches beyond culture to remind us of a shared, deeply rooted inheritance. A tuning fork that binds the personal and the universal, Folkesange is a reminder that the most transcendent experiences are those closest to home. (Words by Jonathan Selzer)
I gymnasiet blev vi undervist i folkesange, men jeg oplevede altid deres tekst og melodi som klodset. Tak til Myrkur for at synge dem, så de får liv. Det er først nu, jeg forstår dem.
Thank you Amalie for (re)introducing me to this and the other poems and stories in your songs. I'm sure my grandparents and ancestors for centuries grew up hearing this story and it didn't get passed down to me in America. I'm going to learn this story well and tell it to my children and grandchildren.
Should be Dansk ...For an Austrian it Makes Sense Its a very weird Form of German Like some Dialekte spoken in the alps 😊😂 ITS basicly a germanic languige
Penso sia una delle canzoni più belle che abbia mai sentito per il fatto che mi fa sentire legata alla natura in un modo così stretto che mi ha sorpreso, meravigliosa, sono tutte bellissime le vostre canzoni! 😍

"Le pouvoir de la harpe"
Villemand et sa belle épouse
[La chaîne est en or]
Ils ont joué au guldtavl[dés d'or] dans sa petite chambre
{Il a joué si agréablement pour sa jeune femme}
Pour chaque fois que les dés d'or couraient sur la table
{La chaîne est en or}
Juste autant de larmes que la jeune fille a versé
{Il a joué si agréablement pour sa jeune femme}
Pourquoi pleures-tu de l'or si rouge ?
{La chaîne est en or}
Ou pleures-tu parce que tu es devenue ma jeune femme ?
{Il a joué si agréablement pour sa jeune femme}
Ou pleures-tu parce que je ne suis pas riche
{La chaîne est en or}
Et tu penses que je ne peux pas être ton égal ?
{Il a joué si agréablement pour sa jeune femme}
Je ne pleure pas pour l'or si rouge,
{La chaîne est en or}
Et c'est avec ma bonne volonté que je suis devenue ta jeune femme
{Il a joué si agréablement pour sa jeune femme}
Je ne pleure pas non plus parce que tu n'es pas riche
{La chaîne est en or}
Je pense aussi que tu es vraiment mon égal
{Il a joué si agréablement pour sa jeune femme}
Bien plus je pleure pour le doux ruisseau
Que je vais bientôt traverser
{La chaîne est en or}
{Il a joué si agréablement pour sa jeune femme}
Là.. mes deux soeurs ont coulé
{La chaîne est en or}
De retour au temps de leurs mariages
{Il a joué si agréablement pour sa jeune femme}
Merci
❤❤❤
Hope Villemand gonna make sure the troll under the bridge don't get to his fiance.
Cause what would sure suck.
