Very! We haven't played live since February last year so we're glad to do a special release show. We have our new drummer at this show too.
Around 5 songs from the new album tonight and then a mix of our classics and really old stuff. We have something for everyone.
Right now yes, we've been working so hard on this album so we're really into it so it's all very fresh to us. We finished around November and the songs are really good in my opinion.
I don't really follow outside our fans what people say and there isn't many reviews out yet from the press but people so far seem really happy with what songs have been released.
I think it would be ''Back On Northern Shores'' or ''Raise Your Horns''.
Our vocalist Johan Hegg wrote ''Jomsviking'' about the viking mercenaries so he came up with this character who is part of them. It's kind of a like a movie.
The mercanaries were called the Jomsvikings.
JUDAS PRIEST as their album ''British Steel'' really changed everything for me but I was into KISS before them.
Ace Frehley from KISS and later on it was Jeff Hanneman and Adrian Smith from SLAYER and IRON MAIDEN.
A lot of touring, we're playing over 100 shows and some festivals including Download Festival.
