Time of The Wolf is an old Swedish expression for the last hour of life, serving as the starting point for particularly striking album by the Vikings from Gävle, where Scandinavian folklore and historical narratives are conveyed not only through lyrics but also through musical nuances: vocal harmonies reflect traditional Swedish folk singing, while story of the plague in Den Dighra Döden has inspired hypnotic, monotonous sound, enhanced by guitar tones produced with an electronic bow; eight compositions underwent constant changes in the studio: initially developed in black metal direction, they were slowed down, re-arranged and reworked with an aim of creating not stylistic contrast but cohesive, sombre atmosphere, resulting in truly profound and compelling outcome; Dutch first press digipak edition comes with twelve page booklet
