Metal Anarchy

Myrkur has premiered a new song titled “Touch My Love And Die.” The track, which was commissioned by Danish broadcaster DR1, will serve as the singer’s entry into this year’s Dansk Melodi Grand Prix. The winner of that competition will represent Denmark at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria.

The following was said about the single:

“‘Touch My Love And Die’ is a dark, cinematic ballad in which Myrkur’s various musical expressions merge into a new whole. The sound incorporates elements from metal, Nordic folk music, and film scores, recorded in Dolby Atmos with real musicians—from cello, a girls’ choir, and ancient folk instruments to drums captured with more than 40 microphones. A physical, human soundscape in a time marked by speed, artificiality, and distance.

Recorded in Winter 2025 with Christopher Juul (Heilung), Myrkur describes ‘Touch My Love And Die’ as a work into which ‘heart, soul, blood, and tears’ have been poured—both in song and performance—something she hopes can exist as an antidote to a world dominated by AI and a throwaway culture. A reminder of humanity’s roots, spirit, and resilience.”
