The booklet contains the lyrics, a large number of authentic photos, and the band members' own words about each track. Furthermore, the brothers reveal the origin of the influence of their songs and lyrics on the mythical world of the Vikings.FOR THE WELFARE OF MEN:The song "For the Welfare of Man" was originally intended to be the sixth track of "Metal Conquest". Due to the band's very limited studio time and the brothers' disastrous finances at the time, the sixth song was ultimately not recorded. However, while listening to some demo tapes, damaged during the great flood of the brothers' studio in January 2001, the brothers were very surprised to hear a demo version of the song made by them in the mid-eighties. After a long restoration and mixing in the brothers' new studio, the song now has its place on the vinyl - more than forty years later. The album is now a six-shooter as originally intended.
