Myollnir

About Me

Myollnir was formed in the summer '05 as a heavy metal band with archaic thrash roots. Very soon the music began to take shape as a more extreme variety of black death metal, still heavily influenced by old thrash as well as the Scandinavian metal scene. After gigging around Lancaster, the band rcorded their self-titled debut EP in June '06 which set primitive foundations for a rapidly evolving sound. Their current material encompasses more complex rhythms and structures and experiments with sampling. Despite the lack of bass not having been a handicap in the past, the addition to the band of a new bass player creates more depth and a well-rounded sound. Myollnir are set to record again and are aiming to complete their first album by the summer.

Who is Unasischtar...?

The gig on the 10th is not in fact Myollnir but Unasischtar, a Myollnir rip-off consisting of two guys who resemble the drummer and guitarist of Myollnir a lot. This gig should nonetheless be amazing,...
