"... a Myrkur live record that smokes many extreme metal albums released in 2016, with Bruun backed by the Norwegian Girls Choir in the historic Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum in Oslo ... the performances are spellbinding ... it’s largely beautiful stuff: cinematic reinventions with acoustic leanings and a particular emphasis on piano and vocal ..." - PopMatters.com "Album of the Week ... an opportunity to isolate and celebrate the delicate beauty at the heart of all Myrkur’s rage ... more intriguingly, to expose the frail skeleton beneath the thunderous solos and overpowering effects ... might come as a shock for those accustomed to Bruun’s cacophonous sound. There are no screeching guitars, no suffocating feedback, no murky bass, just piano, acoustic guitar and Bruun’s silphlike soprano, supported by the gentle harmonies of the Norwegian Girls Choir ... a new perspective on Myrkur’s music ... an intimate look at one artist’s battle against her own canon. It’s a war she ends up winning, with considerable grace." - SPIN Mausoleum is a captivating live album from Myrkur, the one-woman black metal project created by Danish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Amalie Bruun. Several of the songs that appeared on her debut release M are dramatically stripped down for voice, piano and acoustic guitar here and feature the Norwegian Girls Choir. Recorded at the historic Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum in Oslo, Norway in 2015, the unique performance serves as an incredible showcase for Bruun's sublime yet haunting voice in a truly chilling atmosphere.
