About Valkyjra:

Valkyrja is a concept record. The story line is based on a nameless viking who leaves his wife to impress the valkyries on the battlefields to have them take him to Valhalla or Fуlkvangr, home of Freyja, goddess of love, sexuality, beauty, copiousness, gold, war and death. Or to put it this way: the record is about women influencing men and about the things men do to impress women.

As frontman Heri Joensen states “the woman that the warrior leaves may represent the earthly women. Freyja, The Lady Of The Slain, may represent the perfection of Women, and the Valkyrie is the link between the two, taking men from earthly to godly women.”
