The project was supposed to be an AnonymousBand but [[StreisandEffect the media were quick to pry]] after her first release and discovered that Myrkur was really a OneManBand, much to both the fascination and dismay of the genre's BrokenBase.
Nonetheless, the project carried on, releasing several singles and two studio albums to critical acclaim, and toured around the world alongside the likes of Music/{{Behemoth}}, Music/{{Epica}}, and Music/{{Opeth}}.
!!Discography
* ''Myrkur'' (2014, demo)
* ''M'' (2016)
* ''Mausoleum'' (2016, live)
* ''Mareridt'' (2017)
!Tropes:
* AnonymousBand: Subverted from the moment her first ever song "Nattens barn" came out in 2014, as media were in a frenzy to find out the woman behind those ridiculously good HarshVocals.
* BasedOnADream: After touring in promotion of ''M'', Amalie came back to Denmark haunted with insomnia and nightmares that she couldn't keep away, so she then decided to grab a notebook and jot them down. These nightmares would then come to fruition as ''[[BilingualBonus Mareridt]]''.
* BloodFromTheMouth: The video for "Ulvinde".
* CoverVersion: Apart from folk songs, she's covered Music/{{Bathory}}'s "Song to Hall Up High" in ''Mausoleum''.
* CulturedBadass: Apart from black metal and folk music, Amalie [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfIwamYVPWw has professed her love]] for classical music and "horror pop", among other things.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The video for "Juniper". Also LeFilmArtistique.
* FaceOnTheCover: ''Mareridt'', as opposed to just a silhouette in ''M''.
* FolkMetal: If she's not dabbling into full on BlackMetal.
* GenreRoulette: Sometimes BlackMetal, sometimes dark ambient, sometimes Nordic folk, sometimes [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs dark ambient Nordic folk]]...
* GratuitousFrench: The line ''je suis votre amour'' in "Crown".
* GrimUpNorth: If a woman can singlehandedly embody this trope, it's Myrkur.
* LastNoteNightmare: "Onde Børn". Couple that with the video where you see Amalie beside a burning M.
* LighterAndSofter: Her upcoming album is more focused on her folk side.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: The instrumentation alone can pass for 9-11 but the ethereal vocals often pull the music back to a range of 7-9 on average. Her folk tracks, meanwhile, 1-3.
* MultilingualSong: Quite a few songs in ''Mareridt'' switch between Danish and English and at one point, French.
* Myth/NorseMythology: Apart from making it obvious in "Skaði", Myrkur loves Nordic fairytales and folklore as well.
* NatureLover: In spades. Amalie likes to be filmed singing and sometimes playing her instruments in the great outdoors. Justified as according to her interview with [[http://www.metalsucks.net/2014/07/16/meet-myrkur/ Metalsucks,]] "nature is a big part of the reason BlackMetal even exists."
* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Nordic folk mixed with black or sometimes gothic metal and ambient.
* OneManBand: Amalie plays guitars, bass, piano, violin, nyckelharpa, just about everything EXCEPT a drum kit.
* OneWomanWail: Kulning, an ancient Swedish herding call. Most noticeable in the TitleTrack[=/=]AlbumIntroTrack to ''Mareridt''.

* NorseByNorsewest: She's a Dane with an Icelandic alias who sings in her native tongue as well as Swedish and plays a style of music popularized in Norway, if not the rest of Scandinavia. Her logo is the runic letter M. How much more Nordic can you get?
* PhenotypeStereotype: Just look at the page image!
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue against Music/{{Burzum}}'s red.
* SceneryPorn: Every single location where "Ulvinde" was shot.
* SelfBackingVocalist: Part of her one-woman band shtick.
* SelfTitledAlbum: Self-titled demo.
* ShakyCam: "Bonden og Kragen".
* SopranoAndGravel: Amalie contrasts her haunting MetalScream with a soprano as ethereal as Music/{{Jonsi}}'s countertenor in Music/SigurRos.
* TheStoic: More often than not, Amalie looks either tranquil or slightly annoyed.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Chelsea Wolfe joins Myrkur in "Funeral".
* WomanInWhite: She loves to either play this trope straight or invert it. There's no in-between.
** StringyHairedGhostGirl: She gives off this vibe at certain points in the "Ulvinde" video and, though her face remains visible, the ''Mareridt'' album art.
* JustForFun/XMeetsY: The official Myrkur website describes ''Mareridt'' as Music/KingDiamond's ''Them'' marrying Music/PyotrIlyichTchaikovsky's ''Swan Lake''.
** Fans like to describe Myrkur in general as [[Music/LanaDelRey "Lana del]] [[IncrediblyLamePun Wraith"]] or Music/{{Enya}} meets Music/{{Burzum}}.
