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.

Welcome!

Welcome to mjolnirrocks.blogspot.com. This is the official blog of the band Mjolnir. We are a Death Metal band in the style of Wolverine Blues-era Entombed mixed with a bit of Mastodon, Obituary, Slayer and anything else that we fancy.

We will be keeping a log of our activities here for you to browse and let you know how we're getting on. A breif history to date will be posted here in the next couple of days also.
