Includes printed inner sleeve with lyrics.
The outro which appears on the first five albums has the meaning “Bathory is crawling back under the rock but will be back”. That is why the outro doesn’t appear on Twilight of the Gods, as it was intended to be the last Bathory album.
The melody of "Hammerheart" is adapted from the fourth movement of "Jupiter" from The Planets suite by English classical composer Gustav Holst (1874-1934).
A slightly shorter version (9:21) of the track "Blood and Iron" is featured on the '92 Touch of Evil compilation from Black Mark Productions.
Recording information:
Recorded at Montezuma Studio, Stockholm, Sweden in April 1991.
