Notes

This 1st CD press has the best quality artwork for the booklet and back insert, all reissues are of much lower quality.

All music and lyrics made between 96-98.

Recorded at Grieghallen Studios during Aug-Nov 1998.
Lead guitars on tracks 4 and 6 and synthesizers on track 7 were recorded at Sogndal Lydstudio A/S.

"Arntor" was released in spring/summer in Norway, and autumn 1999 in the rest of the world.

"Svatasmeden og Lundamyrstrollet" is the story of an old tale from Sogndal, Valfar's hometown, about a blacksmith and the Lundamyrs, a Troll's home.

The song "Arntor, Ein Windir" is based upon an old folk song.

1. Beginning
2. Arntor, A Warrior
3. The Burial Mound Of King Hydnes
4. The Blacksmith And The Troll Of Lundamyri
5. The Struggle
6. The Longing
7. Ending

Total playing time: 46:06
