Myrkur has unveiled a new behind-the-scenes video showcasing the creation of her song “Touch My Love And Die,” which she will perform on Danish television soon.
The piece is an entry for Dansk Melodi Grand Prix that feels like a ritual, drawing from Nordic mythology, human vulnerability, and cinematic grandeur to gather darkness into a moment where it speaks.
Myrkur's artistic universe has consistently merged Scandinavian folk music, black metal, and cinematic soundscapes across her four albums, two EPs, and staged work.
From M (2015) and Mareridt (2017) to Folkesange (2020) and Spine (2023), Myrkur moves between darkness and light, the brutal and the beautiful.
The song “Touch My Love And Die” is a dark, cinematic ballad where Myrkur's various musical expressions merge into a new whole.
The sound incorporates elements from metal, Nordic folk music, and film scores, recorded in Dolby Atmos with real musicians—from cello, a girls’ choir, and ancient folk instruments to drums captured with more than 40 microphones.
Lyrically, the song explores the supernatural and gothic, delving into multiple layers of love as both release and danger.
Myrkur emphasizes that the lyrics remain open for interpretation by the listener.
Myrkur describes “Touch My Love And Die” as a work born from her heart, soul, blood, and tears—both in song and performance—and hopes it can exist as an antidote to a world dominated by AI and a throwaway culture.
A reminder of humanity's roots, spirit, and resilience.
The winner of the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix will represent Denmark at Eurovision 2026 in Vienna, Austria in May.
Myrkur’s music has been praised by Iridium Rock and Metal Reviews, who loved everything about her single “Stoned Babies,” the first release from VOICES OF EXTREME on BraveWords Records.
The full album is coming in 2026.
