Me and That Man Debut Hypnotic New Song ‘Angel of Light’ Featuring Myrkur
Me and That Man, the dark folk project from Behemoth's Nergal, have debuted "Angel of Light" off their forthcoming third album, which features a guest appearance by atmospheric black metal/folk artist and onetime Behemoth tourmate, Myrkur.
While "Got Your Tongue," the debut single off New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol. 2, served as a rowdy introduction to the new Me and That Man record, "Angel of Light" posits how wide-ranging the album will be, anchored by a gentle, swaying guitar rhythm over which Myrkur sole visionary Amalie Bruun delivered a chilling vocal performance.
“Behold the 'Angel of Light'! This song is perhaps the most sinister and dark Americana in our repertoire. Whilst we often offer a little smile and wink with our music, this is pure Luciferian splendor delivered by our very own angel, Amalie from Myrkur," said Nergal, who exclaimed, "It’s all yours now folks! Enjoy!”
Bruun added, “I am excited to collaborate with Nergal on this song and video, where I play the role of a woman who's captured by the shadow. She looks for ways out and turns to the 'Angel Of Light' for guidance and comfort.”

New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol. 2 will be released on Nov. 19 on Napalm Records. Head here to pre-order your copy.
Me and That Man, "Angel of Light" Lyrics
I crawled through the night
That was darker than black
I carried my sins
Heavy weight on my back
And I prayed to the god
Lord help me to be
But the angel of light is who listens to meAnd I saw the light
And I followed its signs
You might think that I’m blind
And so out of line
You might think that I’m lost
‘Cause my eyes can’t see
But the god from below is the one who leads meAnd he's soothing my soul
And he's healing my wounds
He’s a friend not a foe
He ain’t throwing no stones
So I followed his light
And it’s set me free
Cause Lucifer's the one who's praying for meCrawled through the night
That was darker than black
I carried my sins
Heavy weight on my back
And I prayed to the god
Lord help me to be
But the angel of light is who listens to me
Me and That Man, "Angel of Light" feat. Myrkur
