"Two brand new songs from the upcoming record are available, streaming at Myspace.com/Glittertind .

'Nordafjells (Mountains in the North)' - While journeying through the mountains in the north, a Norse fortune teller is engulfed by a vicious snowstorm and experiences a vision: A mountain grouse lends the traveler its wings and ears, enabling him to sense the entirety of the land and forthcoming events. He sees the coming of Olav Tryggvason and the end of his time, as foreign religion and culture will encroach upon his land.

'Longships And Mead' - In an age seemingly dominated by self-assertion and greed, we often long with a nostalgic view for the times when men of the sea shared a common spirit of brotherhood and glory. Whatever happened to such sentiments in our times?"

Landkjenning tracklisting: 'Landkjenning (Landsighting)', 'Nordafjells (Mountains In The North)', 'Varder i brann (Beacons Burning)', 'Går min eigen veg (Trudging My Own Path)', 'Longships And Mead', 'Glittertind (Glittering Tine)', 'Jeg snører min sekk (Lacing My Backpack)', 'Mot myrke vetteren (Toward The Dark Winter)', 'Brede seil over Nordsjø går (Over The North Sea, Broad Sails Blowing)', 'Overmåte full av nåde (Exceedingly Full Of Grace)'.

The cover artwork (pictured on the left, click to enlarge) was created by Kris Verwimp.
