History to date
Mjolnir was formed from the ashes of the North West of the UK's premier alternative band: Shiver Slinky. Shiver Slinky had petered out at the tail end of 2004 leaving Paul King (drums) and John Haselden (guitar) itching to get back into the thick of it.
Paul and John had always been into Metal and jammed metal tunes during Shiver Slinky practices, so after the demise of Shiver Slinky going full-on into metal was the most obvious route. So the decision was made.
Our influences are diverse, but Mjolnir is a mixture of the brutality of Entobmed, the grind of Obituary and the technical diversity and intelligence of Mastodon.
So we've had a few good jams and have a wealth of ideas that we're crafting into songs. Also, we're looking for bassists, singers and possibly another guitarist. If you are based around Leigh in Lancashire and you think that we sound like the kind of band that you can bring something unique to; then leave us a comment on the board and we'll get back to you.
