VIKING METAL - Miellnir have a very interesting sound and their debut is a record that features an extreme take on folk metal. The production does a good job of balancing the many layers on the record. I like the way the symphonic elements are merely fringes added to the music, and not the focus of the music itself. The blackened tone stays the highlight and it brings out the grim nature of the music. The melodic solos are well executed and more importantly, does not sound like overindulgence.
