Robex Lundgren virkblogg.

Can you tell about your band? Well at first we were doing really shitty music, Valross and I started playing music with that band, we played shits like Grunge or Progressive Rock

Where are all band members from?/Who does what in the band? Valross and I are the main members in the band, he leads and I help him when he needs me and when we need the others, they're always there. When we met Grog, we were only 3 in the band and he didn't know how to sing. Then we hired Björn to replace Haukka 2 or 3 days before the recording of Roots of Fate, he worked all day long to create the whole drum. And finally we met Svartoth at a concert and we decided to put him in the band to do the Rythmic Guitar

Who has the best since of humor in the band? We all do jokes like showing our asses or running nude in the street permanently, I think it's easier to say that Grog has the worst

What's good/bad with the band?/What genre do you feel you are? The best part is that we're all friends at the begining, we donot recruitpeople with whom we would not fit with. Every guy in the band is my friend and we often go out with. Personnally I feel like the band has many genres because some musics are more Death, some are more Folk, and always with that "viking" story in the lyrics, I'd say that we play Death Metal

Why did you pick that particular style?/What are your songs about? We play that style because we like it and we enjoy playing it. The songs on Roots of Fate narate the story of a viking family and its evolution, the others albums will still talk about them.
