Relapse Records have released a video showing Myrkur’s Amalie Bruun and Chelsea Wolfe performing their haunting new track Funeral.

The song features on Myrkur’s new album Mareridt which will arrive on Friday (September 15).

The video was filmed in hotel room in Las Vegas and follows the release of Ulvinde and Måneblôt from the follow-up to 2015’s M.

Mareridt was recorded between Copenhagen and Seattle with producer Randall Dunn, who has previously worked with artists including Earth and Sunn O))) and is said to be “a rich juxtaposition of the dark and the light, the moon and the mother earth, the witch and the saint.”

Mareridt will explore “deeper into the mysterious and the feminine with compositions that further progress Bruun’s visionary blend of metal with gorgeous, stirring melodies, dark folk passages, choral arrangements and superb, horrific beauty.”

Wolfe, meanwhile, will release her fifth studio album Hiss Spun on September 22 via Sargent House.
