Just a note that we are hoping to re-press "The Stranger" in proper CD format, including new artwork, sometime this year (not sure when exactly).
This was originally only 100 copies in pro-CDR format, and is very hard to find now. It is about 30 minutes of primarily instrumental acoustic guitar music. I've seen this same cover been used at least twice by other bands since it was released in 2003! It was an awesome picture that really captured the heart of the short story I wrote to go with the CD, but now its time to get some original artwork done for this and get it released properly.
Some trivia, after I sent this out as a demo in late 2003, just a few weeks later I got a letter from Karmageddon Media (previously Hammerheart Records) with a contract. This label was home to many great bands at the time like Primordial, Thyrfing, Nebelhexe, Forefather, Glittertind etc..) I was already starting to record "Sailing the Seas of Fate" at the time, so we agreed to release that one when it was ready since it had added the metal aspects and was definitely more marketable. However, just before it was to be released, the company was going broke, so I obtained my release and got it back. Not a good start for me! But such is life on the fringe of metal...

That's awesome news, much to anticipate this year! I have been looking very hard to find this demo ever since I discovered Sailing the Seas of Fate... Of course it was sold out by then  I think it's great when artists still respect their old ideas and fans who appreciate all their work - by reissuing demos. This gem won't escape me a second time  |

Hi, this album about Odin or about Grail? Can't understand - here is Midgarth, Baldur and here Grail, Orion. Can't understand what the connection was.
