The band themselves comments on the song to say in our fast-paced and narcissistic world it is fundamentally important to maintain a healthy balance between taking & giving. The tradition of the "Blót", of the ritualistic sacrifice in the viking culture left a deep impression on us. It took us two years to search for fitting old texts, to form our song text from these fragments of these texts and to finally realize the song and video. We are proud to present it, especially with a topic which is for sure far outside the usual entertainment culture.
