The cover painting is Åsgårdsreien, painted in 1872 by Peter Nicolai Arbo.
Oden is Swedish for ''Odin''.
The lyrics for "For All Those Who Died" are from a poem by Erica Jong, first published in her book Witches.
The first letters of each line of "The Golden Walls of Heaven" form the word: 'SATAN'. Also, the first letters of each line of "Dies Irae" form the sentence: 'CHRIST THE BASTARD SON OF HEAVEN'.
This is the first of the band's experiments with heroic and epic songwriting and Viking-related themes.
Recording information:
Recorded at Heavenshore Studio, Stockholm, Sweden in February 1988.
