Mjolne are a solo project from Norway that plays a very raw, old school and symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Through Veils Of Time" which will be released in August by ATMF.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the synths and orchestration also takes the music into more of a symphonics direction. A lot of the recording is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars. Clear singing is also added into certain sections of the recording as well as a few songs also adding in spoken words, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Norwegian and cover Darkness and Norse Mythology themes.
In my opinion Mjolne are a very great sounding old school and symphonic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "What I Once Was" "In The Abyss Of Existence" and "The Cries Within". 8 out of 10.
