Eva Braun, the mistress and later wife (for a single day) of Adolf Hitler, was known to experience frequent bouts of jealousy if the Führer received so much as an approving glance from another woman. Presumably in the psychosexual Nazi state, this was not uncommon or indeed unexpected, but one notable competitor — Unity Mitford — stood out as particularly threatening to her. Of Mitford, Braun wrote in her diary “she is known as the Valkyrie and looks the part, including her legs.”
The modern Unity Mitford, then, is Myrkur, who looks like nothing so much as the embodiment of ideal Aryan womanhood. Following the example of black metal bands such as Burzum and Graveland — artists known for their virulent racism — Myrkur writes and records all of her own music by herself. She has received favorable coverage from normally acceptable metal outlets such as Noisey and MetalSucks who are too evidently blinded by the novelty of a one-woman black metal band to see past the coy game that Myrkur (perhaps unknowingly) plays.
Without directly admitting to it herself, Myrkur is the ultimate fulfillment of the National Socialist Black Metal movement’s ambitions.
National Socialist and more vaguely racialist themes are common in metal; Pantera of course were the most visible example of this. Motörhead was another. Even a progressive band like Slayer made use of Nazi imagery, although this presumably was meant as ironic commentary given their importance to queer women of color in metal. The overtly fascist imagery and ideology of bands such as Nokturnal Mortum, Dark Fury, and of course Mayhem were simply the logical progression from the shock tendencies of punk and goth bands in the 1970s and 1980s.
All National Socialist Black Metal bands are preoccupied with the status of white women. While it is tempting to simply dismiss this as another instance of the systemic societal valuation of white women over all other types of women (see, for example, Missing White Woman Syndrome) the Polish NSBM band Thor’s Hammer directly addresses the true concern with their 2002 album The Fate Worse than Death:
Juxtaposed against a mushroom cloud is the aggressive sexuality of a black man directed against a white woman. It is fascinating to consider for a moment the work that must have gone into creating this album cover. Thor’s Hammer evidently stands against miscegenation but somehow had no qualms about paying for a semi-pornographic depiction of the tired black-on-blonde scenario. This leads me to the conclusion that the members of Thor’s Hammer were projecting their own taboo fantasies regarding race-mixing and I can only assume that they felt some type of gratification during the shoot that delivered this cover art. Alternately, it is equally possible that they simply appropriated an existing pornographic film or image for their use, which again raises the question as to why a band presumably dedicated to the preservation of white racial purity would go looking for such an image, but I digress.
Myrkur is an interesting case study in the reality of white privilege. While women of color who play in black metal bands are generally ignored (not counting female metal musicians from Asia, as they are routinely fetishized), Myrkur receives adulation befitting a Roman empress. She was already famous as a model and pop music singer and released her black metal work pseudonymously. It is only because she had an established career as a white woman playing “safe” music that she was able to have the resources necessary to indulge in her other, allegedly less mainstream, interests.
National Socialist Black Metal simultaneously denies and enjoys the concept of white privilege. They clamor for white attention and special consideration for whites. They are mostly unaware that they already receive it. Without proclaiming herself to be a National Socialist, Myrkur has attained the status that NSBM desires most.
The runic motifs, the Nordic name, the cold sound of the music — all of these things are accoutrements of NSBM. She is the light Yin to the dark Yang of Varg Vikernes. In the same way that many white Americans are unknowingly racist, Myrkur is unknowingly a National Socialist. Perhaps she is unaware of her metaphorical and symbolic status and perhaps she is not. She is in this way not so much black metal’s Unity Mitford as she is black metal’s Helen of Troy: the beautiful, mysterious destroyer of all things around her without the slightest awareness or feeling of responsibility for the damage she has done.
What the fuck is the author talking about, they clearly don’t know anything about black metal. This article is trash produced by the mind of an idiot.

Whoooooaaaaa, let’s tackle the first thing: I’m absolutely sure that Mr. Capricornus didn’t “pay” some Black dude to choke a White lady, just so THOR’S HAMMER could take a picture. 😒 It’s obvious that the band ripped that image from a movie, or scanned it from a magazine, or just downloaded it from the internet. I’d love to add this album to my collection~ I currently don’t own it, but I’m a Graphic Designer, so once I see it firsthand I’ll have a clear idea of how the image was obtained.
“Virulent racism”? “White privilege”? Je$u$ Balls, son. National Socialist Black Metal is an Underground genre *BECAUSE* it is socially unacceptable. So, even Underground music that is socially unacceptable should somehow be inoffensive now? Are you serious? I’ve actually avoided MYRKUR for the longest time, because Relapse Records has now become a dopey skinny jeans/thick-rimmed glasses/bearded Hipster label, as opposed to the mighty force that they once were just up until 10 years ago or so~ if MYRKUR is indeed “the ultimate fulfillment of the National Socialist Black Metal ideal”, then by God, I need to listen to her albums already!

Covertly racist bands such as Myrkur are sadly even more dangerous than the likes of Thor’s Hammer, Burzum, and Marduk simply because they appeal to the Relapse crowd that you are describing — people who are ostensibly dedicated to equality and racial justice via their social media presences. However, one should always maintain vigilance against entryism into safe musical and aesthetic spaces against those who are not even aware of their own privilege and ideology.

If you are indeed a member of an indigenous pre-Columbian tribe of the Americas, then I am sorry for the racism, colonialism, and white supremacy that you have internalized that has evidently led you to adopt this unfortunate position.

What facts? The article’s arguments are, at most, probable. The writer is not making a demonstrative case that Myrkur is a NSBM band, neither intentionally nor unintentionally. Hell, the write spends more space talking about other bands than about Myrkur.
If the writer was trying to make an analogical argument, then the comparison between the analogates needs to be more substantive. This is because the strength of an analogical argument directly corresponds with the similarities between the analogates. The more substantively similar they are, the stronger, but still only probable, the argument is. The less similar, the weaker.
Not only was Myrkur mostly skipped over, the similarities were shallow at best. The runic motifs, Nordic name, and (unmentioned in the article) Danish lyrics? Well, she is Danish. The cold sound? That’s black metal. Even if she is cognizant of exploiting white privilege, that doesn’t make her a nazi either. Even if one deserves blame for exploiting white privilege, or not engaging in activism to promote equality, that makes one socially irresponsible rather than racist.
When she puts out an album cover like A Fate Worse Than Death; does a sieg heil during a concert (and not like Taake, who did so specifically because he thinks Nazism is evil, and that Germans should be ashamed of their legacy); says Europe is for white people only (and before you bring it up, her comment about Islam wasn’t racist; it was stupid and prejudiced, but she was attacking religious norms and mores as incompatible with Denmark’s secular nature) etc, then the analogates will be more similar. Until then, sorry, but it’s a piss poor argument.
Btw, she has also criticized some white supremacists who did a Nazi salute at an American rally; hardly the act of a nazi.

“The article’s arguments are, at most, probable.”
“Probable” is another word for “likely,” which might as well be another word for “definitely.” If Myrkur’s fans are finally willing to admit the artist’s ideological faults, then we are perhaps not too far away from the artist admitting these issues herself. MetalMatters has been aware for some time that a significant amount of traffic to this website is generated from social media accounts related to Myrkur in some fashion, so this is obviously a problem that has not escaped Fru Bruun’s attention.
In the United States, there is a broad consensus that historical figures like George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln would have almost certainly been members of the German Nazi Party had they been alive circa 1935. While perhaps none of these men ever called for the mass extermination of racially undesirable people, it is not at all impossible to conclude that they would have advocated for such policies if they had been alive at the time. Therefore, they were also unknowingly Nazis by the standards of this time.
LikeLike
You’re equivocating. Probable in this context – analogical arguments – just means in terms of probability, not in the colloquial sense of likely. You should have picked up on that since I contrasted it with “demonstrative” in that same paragraph, and pointed out the sort of argument the writer made in my second paragraph.
Regardless, even if “probable” did have that same meaning, there’s a gap between “likely” – which connotes confidence but nonetheless uncertainty – and “facts” or “definitely” – which connote certainty. Don’t conflate the two.
Maybe her fans will point out her ideological faults when you can, I don’t know, actually demonstrate them? At most, you’ve suggested that she probably capitalizes on white privilege. Whether that’s wrong or neutral is in the realm of ethics, which, I hope you realize, is hardly objective. Whereas she has explicitly criticized white supremacists, and religious norms which subjugate women and LGBT communities (unless fascists suddenly advocate feminism and sexual orientation equality, even if it’s only an empty platitude).
Your second paragraph is a red herring, and a hypothesis contrary to fact.

adulation? that´s a myth, somewhere between “hugely exaggerated” and “plain untrue”. she has the following of an averagely famed NSBM band. Myrkur is a product, with an excessive PR campaign in the mainstream Metal press, which financed big press coverage (funnily next to often bad reviews) and has the usual “success” that can be compared to those casting show Pop boygroups, well marketed and commercially halfway working, but a failure in all other aspects. what is distorted to “already famous as a pop music singer” just hints at her musical history, styles which she did as unsubstantially (jumping from copying bad Grunge to third rate Electroclash, and everything decades too late but using an established self-sufficient mass market system) as she did BM. and when it comes to the solely visual NSBM ideal, an old pinched bag of bones doesn´t really fit NSBM ideals, right? 😉

What in the hell are they supposed to sing about to not trigger those idiot SJW’s and get them to spew out their unimaginable bullshit and their staggering idiocy? “Vote Hillary”?
Nobody honestly gives a shit about POC queer women in black metal. Black metal is not some inclusive safe-space for hipsters, SJW’s, the LGBTQ community, feminists etc. The entire black metal scene does not have to tolerate anyone or anything. It is not subject to censorship or political correctness, nor should it be.
BTW being proud of your ancestry in black metal does not make you “covertly racist”, “national socialist” or any other BS SJW buzzword. She doesn’t use African, Native American or any other imagery because she is a Nordic woman and that is her heritage. Why the fuck should she be obligated use African, Asian or Native American imagery? Are you able to justify that? What is wrong with Nordic runes? Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian, Persian, Turkish, Arabic and many other cultures use symbols that can be associated with an oppressive historical regime in which millions died, would they be subjected to your liberal butthurt too if bands from there used it?

It is a product of materialism, since nowadays a lot of “music” is plastic and produced only for money and fame, not with spiritual purposes and ways to channel vibrations.
2. With point 1 established, I think that the use of runes is part of the aesthetics of the projects. Since Myrkur is Scandinavian project, I suppose it uses the runes because Runes are part of the Scandinavian Heritage of those Folks.
But: what “Runes” mean? There are different types of runes: did you know, for example, that Etrurian alphabet has signs very similar to the Runes? There are some historians and scholars that think that the Runes of Scandinavia and Northern Europe are directly related to the Etrurian ones, and some think that the Etrurian alphabet is the origin an the source of the Runes.
3. Maybe with all your studies and master in (((anthropology))), maybe in an (((american university))) as I suppose (this would explain lots of things), you have forgotten a lot of things about history.
Did you know that anthropology started as a racial science? Did you know that all anthropologists were aware of the existence of different Races in the world ordered in a natural hierarchy due to a natural Cosmic Order? Have you ever read books of Günther, Montandon, Coon, De Gobineau for example? Have you ever studied the genetics of populations? If you studied them, you certainly would know that the Races are not a social construct, but a scientific Truth. Races are different in biology and spirituality, and your (((social justice beliefs))) don’t change and won’t change this Truth.
There is a plan of world domination and one of the main steps, if not the final step, is the hybridation of the Races of the world, especially the Caucasoid Europid Race of the European Folks. Mass immigration mostly from Africa is a tool used to carry forward this plan of miscgenation.
4. Many Folks all over the world in the ancient times were racists, I give you some examples:
a) Sparta. Racial laws of Sparta ruled the citizenship and avoided inter-racial miscgenation
b) Ancient India. Caste system originally was on a racial basis.
c) Many ancient tribes in Europe
d) Romans, despite the fact of the multiple lies told by (((nowadays history))) and what it is commonly thought, had racist views and a concept of spiritual supremacy; even if not on a scientific basis as in the modern age, it has racial consciousness
The racial consciousness, even if not scientific as in the modern age, was present among most tribes and folks of the world.
5. I suppose you belong to that lower, inferior caste of beings that believe that racial pride and the celebration of ancestral ritual and the spiritual evolution is a sort of “”evil”” thing because it leads to “”racism””. And so what?? Do you want a (((global multiculturalism))) as the International Jewry (I suggest you to read “The International Jew” by Henry Ford if you haven’t already read it) tries to bring with the purpose of destroying Folks, especially European ones??
I also wonder if you know what Fascism and National Socialism are.
Have you ever studied Benito Mussolini thought? Have you already studied Gabriele D’Annunzio? Filippo Tommaso Marinetti? Futurism? Do you know who was Giovanni Preziosi? Telesio Interlandi? Julius Evola? Have you ever read the journal “La Difesa della Razza” (The Defence of the Race)?
Have you ever studied Adolf Hitler? Have you ever read Mein Kampf? Do you know who Savitri Devi is? Miguel Serrano? Alfred Rosenberg? The Myth of XX Century? Philipp Bouhler? Have you ever read Der Stürmer? Have you ever read the SS journals? Das Schwarze Korps? Do you know who was Julius Streicher? Karl Maria Weisthor Wiligut? Von Liebenfels? Guido Von List?
I suppose you are from JewSA, ehm, USA. If so, don’t teach lessons to us Europeans. When I go out of my house I see Roman ruins, pagan temples, arenas, statues, remains, …. and so many of my European Comrades see when they go out of their houses.

Have you ever read books of Günther, Montandon, Coon, De Gobineau for example? Have you ever studied the genetics of populations? If you studied them, you certainly would know that the Races are not a social construct, but a scientific Truth. Races are different in biology and spirituality, and your (((social justice beliefs))) don’t change and won’t change this Truth.
There is a plan of world domination and one of the main steps, if not the final step, is the hybridation of the Races of the world, especially the Caucasoid Europid Race of the European Folks. Mass immigration mostly from Africa is a tool used to carry forward this plan of miscgenation.
4. Many Folks all over the world in the ancient times were racists, I give you some examples:
a) Sparta. Racial laws of Sparta ruled the citizenship and avoided inter-racial miscgenation
b) Ancient India. Caste system originally was on a racial basis.
c) Many ancient tribes in Europe
d) Romans, despite the fact of the multiple lies told by (((nowadays history))) and what it is commonly thought, had racist views and a concept of spiritual supremacy; even if not on a scientific basis as in the modern age, it has racial consciousness
The racial consciousness, even if not scientific as in the modern age, was present among most tribes and folks of the world.
5. I suppose you belong to that lower, inferior caste of beings that believe that racial pride and the celebration of ancestral ritual and the spiritual evolution is a sort of “”evil”” thing because it leads to “”racism””. And so what?? Do you want a (((global multiculturalism))) as the International Jewry (I suggest you to read “The International Jew” by Henry Ford if you haven’t already read it) tries to bring with the purpose of destroying Folks, especially European ones??
I also wonder if you know what Fascism and National Socialism are.
Have you ever studied Benito Mussolini thought? Have you already studied Gabriele D’Annunzio? Filippo Tommaso Marinetti? Futurism? Do you know who was Giovanni Preziosi? Telesio Interlandi? Julius Evola? Have you ever read the journal “La Difesa della Razza” (The Defence of the Race)?
Have you ever studied Adolf Hitler? Have you ever read Mein Kampf? Do you know who Savitri Devi is? Miguel Serrano? Alfred Rosenberg? The Myth of XX Century? Philipp Bouhler? Have you ever read Der Stürmer? Have you ever read the SS journals? Das Schwarze Korps? Do you know who was Julius Streicher? Karl Maria Weisthor Wiligut? Von Liebenfels? Guido Von List?
I suppose you are from JewSA, ehm, USA. If so, don’t teach lessons to us Europeans. When I go out of my house I see Roman ruins, pagan temples, arenas, statues, remains, …. and so many of my European Comrades see when they go out of their houses.
You, uneducated “woman” from USA, what do you see when you go outside? Shitdonalds? Brger King? Taco Bell? Coca Cola?
Goldman Sachs and other jewish banks? If the answer is yes, shut up, you have nothing to teach us.
P.s. Your (((academies))) are ruled by jews and they are brainwashing you. Wake up

“Following the example of black metal bands such as Burzum and Graveland — artists known for their virulent racism — Myrkur writes and records all of her own music by herself.”
This statement alone should’ve kept me from continuing. So inbetween the thousands and thousands (uncountable in black metal alone) of musicians that actually write and record their music on their own, there are also some openly racist persons doing just that and that’s the relevant point of reference here? Excuse me good lady, but this is as far from accurate journalism as possible. Same is for the rest of the article.

“Myrkur is unknowingly a National Socialist”
How can one “unknowingly” be a National Socialist? Being national socialist implies having a (set of) opinions (antisemitism, militarism, nationalism etc.), opinions are by definition ontologically first person subjective. First person subjective states only exist as long as they are experienced, and cease to exist when they are not experienced. One can therefore not have an opinion, or an ideology, if one is not aware of it.
Being “unknowingly National Socialist [or anarchist, or liberal, or whathaveyou]” is a contradiction in terms.

How dare a Danish chick utilize symbolism & aesthetics of her heritage! I can’t even! LOL! Would you trip this hard about a Mexican or Chicana (actual) Black Metal artist doing the same thing as Myrkur? Nope. This article is a much of a joke as your SJW ideology. True Black Metal will never be “woke”. Don’t you foos already have RABM? LOL! BTW, Mykur is not black metal. If you need an explanation as to why she isn’t, then you don’t know anything about black metal and should stop speaking on it. Stay in your lane w/ the hipster ass Pitchfork & Metalsucks-tier bands.

“The runic motifs, the Nordic name, the cold sound of the music — all of these things are accoutrements of NSBM.”
Well I guess I’m NSBM too because I love all of these things and I’m of Danish German descent.
What a load of nonsense. This is exactly why even leftist who can think for themselves want ANTIFA out of metal.

Let me get this right… Myrkur is a nazi because she is both white and blonde? Is that correct? Keeping nazis out of metal is quite an admiral cause but that is a huge fucking leap.
