Description/Reviews: 

This release is a concept album of sorts, detailing the story of an unnamed viking warrior heading out to war, leaving his woman at home and heading to battle to impress the Valkyrie, in order to guarantee his place in Valhalla. In terms of the modern lesson, this album is based around women and their effects on men and what lengths some men will go to in order to impress the fair lady folk.
