Skjolden is the first solo project from Carl Skildum of Inexorum, Majesties, and Antiverse. Located in Minneapolis and entirely self-directed, Skjolden crosses death metal and melodic black metal.

I've known Carl for a long time across multiple bands/projects, and I loved pulling with him on this episode to reconnect and learn what he's been working on.

On this episode, we focus on “While Dying”, one of the standout tracks from the album, "Insouciant Metaphysical Grandeur" released June 20, 2025 to critical acclaim.

Be sure to show your support on Bandcamp Fridays and connect with Carl and his other bands on Instagram on IG to stay connected.
