Creator Thumbprint: Songs about dying in battle or Norse mythology.Cool Horse: Sleipnir, featuring in "Hermod's Ride To Hel / Loke's Treachery Part I", "Down The Slopes Of Death", briefly in "The Sound Of Eight Hooves" and on the cover art of With Oden On Our Side.Jomsviking is explicitly based on the Jomsvikings, a semi-legendary band of devoutly pagan Norse mercenaries and brigands of the 10th and 11th centuries.Once Sent from the Golden Hall seems to tell a story about five Viking warriors who invade a Christian country and Rape, Pillage, and Burn everything in sight in order to get revenge for the death of the son of one of them.Call-and-Response Song: "A Dream that Can Never Be", with Johann voicing the protagonist of the album, now a Jomsviking, and Doro Pesch singing as his Old Flame who refuses to join his new life."Down the Slopes of Death", which is about Odin's last stand."Cause we are!

Ax-Crazy: "Valhall Awaits Me" has the singer block an attack with his shield, drop the shield, grab his axe and sword, then kill a bunch of his enemies while Dual Wielding. Attack! Attack!
