The idea of having different sections like this in different songs gives us more dynamics with the way the songs flow, I may not have truly realized it but yeah I guess it is like that.
Viking history that's all, we just wanted to talk about the history because its all around us here. The whole point of this was to just really talk about the remnants of our past [laughs].
It was hectic that's for sure, I brought my all with the our other album and it really helped with writing with King of Asgard, because King of Asgard is my primary band its where I put the most of my effort and with my other band I do what I can but im not sort of an owner of the band, I'm just with them.
We were never asked [laughs], seriously I don't know, it would be cool that's for sure. Maybe one day soon but so far we haven't yet.
I'm not sure actually, the guys thought it would be good to put on the vinyl copy of the album, it'll come out online eventually im sure. The song is actually a Bathory cover so its sort of our style with a different band.
No where actually, Karg is a Swedish word for Barren. I guess we chose to use it because this album is sort of barren or something like that [laughs].
Definitely, we all go in and get down to work. Of course we do mess around with each other a bit but we are never wasted when we go into the studio, we have a beer or two while we are recording and maybe a couple more once we are done but we are always there for work not to screw around.
King of Asgard is sort of my band, it belongs to each of us. Where as other bands I joined I did as I was asked and that was it, with King of Asgard I get a say on things and get to make big decisions.
I'm not entirely sure to be honest, chances are we might release one more but on the other hand we may not so maybe everyone will have to wait for the album to come out.
We have heard a lot of good things on facebook and YouTube and all the other social media sites that im not bothering to keep up with. Of course you'll get the nay sayers the people who say it sounds to much like Amon Amarth. I disagree we are doing our thing and they are doing their thing, we are both Death Metal about Vikings but that doesn't mean we sound the same! [laughs]
Live I would say Remnants of the Past and Highland Rebellion will be awesome to play live, but so will everything else on the album so I guess we will just have to see what everyone else things as well.
We do not yet, we all have our full time jobs as well as families and children to take care of. We do want to tour for the new album, but at the moment there are no plans.
We don't [laughs] we are asked about bands by our manager we pick from the list and see what happens from there.
We are Swedish we like to drink, we go play our songs then whoever wants to stick around comes to party a bit with us, day after day night after night. Being at home is a huge change of pace [laughs]
Yeah of course, thank you for supporting the band! Hope to see you when we hit the road and have a drink!
