Myrkur lets the darkness speak at Dansk Melodi Grand Prix with the song “Touch My Love And Die”

In the glow between flames and shadows, between whispering voices and resounding silence, a space emerges where music is not merely heard—it is felt. With “Touch My Love And Die,” Myrkur presents an entry for Dansk Melodi Grand Prix that feels more like a ritual than a song. A piece that draws threads from Nordic mythology, human vulnerability, and cinematic grandeur, gathering them into a moment where darkness is not hidden, but allowed to speak.

Under the name Myrkur, Amalie Bruun has, across four albums, two EPs, and a staged work, created a distinctive artistic universe in which Scandinavian folk music, black metal, and cinematic soundscapes reflect one another. From the emotionally charged metal expressions of M (2015) and Mareridt (2017) to Folkesange (2020) and Spine (2023), where she found grounding in ancient ballads, mythology, and shared narratives, Myrkur has consistently moved between the familiar and the untested—between darkness and light, the brutal and the beautiful.

In parallel, Myrkur has worked extensively with music for film, television, and theatre, including as a composer for Vikings: Valhalla on Netflix and as the creator of the soundtrack for Ragnarok at The Royal Danish Theatre. The cinematic and narrative dimensions have long been an integral part of her artistic language, and this is precisely what she now brings into Dansk Melodi Grand Prix.
