Mannheim’s Hjort are set for their new album, Evolve IV-VIII, scheduled to arrive on January 24 via Inertial Music. The record will take the listeners on a 39-minute instrumental journey filled with melodic blackened doom, blending post-black metal and symphonic elements.

Today (22nd), the group has teamed up with Metal Insider for an early stream of the record.
