I've really grown to like Myrkur over the past month or so. She has a really great blend of harsh and gentle elements in her music that is hard to get right. It sounds kind of like epic Lord of the Rings music.
This song reminds me a little bit of the celtic folksinger Loreena McKennit, if Loreena McKennit had been really into old-school black metal.

Bought "M" some time ago. It was the first more or less black metal record I bought in a long time. At first I really liked it. Over the course of time I came to dislike the ways she does the screams. The pieces with clean vocals are really great*, but on "M" she loses completely when trying to do the screams, in terms of rhytm and also technique. It just doesn't sound the way it should for me. Anyway, it think Myrkur is quite good or at least okay.
*: even though I found out that some of the harmonies and melodies have been stolen from Ulver... (but maybe it is because Garm produced the album. So maybe it is not theft after all but more ore less freely given away harmonic stuff)

I listened to a bit of it around the time it was released. It wasn't NEARLY as bad as people made it seem, but I couldn't really get into it either. As I recall, it seemed like the album was going in too many different directions, and it didn't seem... "cohesive" enough? Granted, I acknowledge that's pretty rich coming from me, of all people, but still.

I haven't listened to M, so I can't comment on it. I like her later stuff, so I assume she's progressed as an artist. That said, I don't think of it as black metal, more as epic folk with some black metal elements.

so I assume she's progressed as an artist Yes, I think one can say so. I think she needed to decide what exactly to do and those epic folk elements just work brilliant!
