Le groupe s’inspire fortement des traditions nordiques, afin de nous aider à comprendre le sens de leurs paroles qui ont une importance majeure, le groupe a traduit tous les titres de sa tracklist en anglais. Les paroles seront également traduites.
« Our lyrics are therefore an important layer to the music. Whether the given song is about traditions, spirituality, philosophy or other esoteric subjects, there should always be a potential of learning something. Knowledge, yet knowledge that is not served as overly explained truths, but rather in abstract images and hints that evokes the listener to seek their own understanding – much like the way Old Norse poetry deals with esoteric matters. So, for those who want to search deeper into our songs, the upcoming album will contain complete lyrics along with English translations. When revealing the track-list, it also makes sense to show the translations of the titles, so one potentially gets a better idea of the album´s content. »
