God, I’m loving this new Myrkur album, M. It does everything Burzum was supposed to do rather than sound like dripping water — it’s grand, weird, religious, emotional, magical, and very, very human. It feels like black metal as an honest expression, which is sadly rare in the genre. The fog on M didn’t come from a machine, it drifted down from the mountain.

Now you, too, can listen to this incredible new record, as Myrkur is streaming it in its entirety via Soundcloud. If you’re as enamored of it as I am, check out mastermind Amelie Bruun’s recent interview with Godless on the MetalSucks podcast to hear the ethos behind the music.

If for some reason you don’t want to listen below, M comes out Friday via Relapse. You can listen to it then. But definitely listen to it one way or the other.
