In August of 2015, Danish composer Amalie Bruun, known to the metal community as Myrkur, released her debut full length album M, an album that was met with near universal acclaim. Critics hailed the mixture of black metal with classical elements and some gothic atmospheric leanings.

Now, almost exactly one year to the day since M‘s release, Bruun is back with Mausoleum. Featuring nine tracks, the majority are acoustic renditions of songs from her debut album that were performed and recorded in the historic Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum in Oslo, Norway. These acoustic versions also feature the Norwegian Girls Choir and Håvard (ex-Ulver) on guitar. The album additionally has a cover of Bathory’s “Song To Hall Up High”.

Today, we’re bringing you the exclusive premiere of “Onde børn” from Mausoleum, which takes the aggression and ferocity of the original and transforms it into a sublime and ethereal offering. That it was performed in a mausoleum only adds to the haunting yet soothing gracefulness. The final resting place for many doesn’t have to be a place of fear or sadness. Instead, Bruun proves that it can be the home to somber and respectful appreciation with her enchanting, beautiful, and lush presentation.

Amalie tells Bloody-Disgusting:

“Onde Børn (Wicked Children)” is a song that I wrote as a tribute to my supporters and it feels powerful to play it live, for them, with them. Performing it with the girls choir in the Mausoleum was a beautiful experience, the dark mood in the cold tomb, the crystal clear voices of the girls. There is room for very few people in the Mausoleum, but my whole Norwegian “family” was there, people who worked on “M” and so forth. A night I will never forget and which I’m excited to share with you.

You can order your copy of Mausoleum either via Relapse if you want a physical copy or via Bandcamp for digital.

Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.

Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.

“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”

Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.

No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.

A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.

Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
