The set of eight songs has three intrumental tracks and five with words. The introduction "Fåfängans Makt" is a strange and eerie yet melodic song which throws itself widely between accoutic guitars and synthezier-interludes. It eventually ends with in a strange soundscape to benefit the next track "Vanhelgedom" which is given a highly versatile feel and a blasting introdution. The highly technical track eagerly produces many melodies and guitar/keyboard solos. Adn as soon as all the turns have been taken the instrumental "3/11 (tornekronan)" allowes the listener to take a slight breath of air before the progressive "Ensamheten & Odjuret" enters (with one of the many riffs of "Vanhelgedom"). This fourth track is not very long but starts off with heavy riffings and then abruptively changes into a beautiful and moody last parts with extremely good melodicism.

Eventually - out of nowhere - blasts the fast (and rather short) "TuathaDeDanan" with a great (almost unsurpassed) storytelling... Dark & Folklore-"ish". So much has been acomplished by the short time one has reached this far. This very fast track is released with yet another tight turn as "Varsel" enters in a semi-ballad fasion. So yet again the pace is set a little slower. It's a mellow progressive track with everything from soundtrack-ish interludes to spanish guitars and heavy vocals. It has many wonderful melodies and provide a huge amount of emotion.

"Fran Ogat Nar en Blodrod Tar" enters as seventh place. No quarter is here given. This track allowes no rest, and is probably the most imressive track of the entire set. The turns taken within this song is so extreme it flashes before ones eyes and so much is accomplished it may be the most important EM track in order to guide my creativity thus far. The sharp accoustic guitars together with the riffs provide such a gratifying track it almost feels sad the album is at its' end. "...Vid Tradets Fot" is essentially the same track as the intro of the album although arranged slightly different in order to provide a good outro. Rather poorly produced accoustics on this track provide testament to how undergroundish the approach to this entire album really is. But the art is undisputable!

As bonus track for this album is added a cover of "The Teacher" by "Magnum", It is a fast and rather interestingly structured song with an enormous "go" as it enters and at halftime become symphonic as well has heavily guitar ridden.
