Glittertind evige asatro

Contents
The title "Eternal Asatru" was taken from the last part of the non-finished opera Olav Tryggvason composed by Edvard Grieg and written by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. The opera is about Olav Tryggvasons unsuccessful attempt to Christianize Norway. Because the opera never was finished, it ends with the victory of the Norse religion over Christianity.
Skrymer from Finntroll did the artwork and bandlogo for this record.
