Guitarist Nico Elgstrand says: "Fellow tea-sipping, sheep-shagging bastards of Britannia, the time has finally come for retribution. For too long have we been watching and waiting silently on the sidelines, but in November we shall once and for all together bring back the spirit of proper metal mayhem as was once the trademark of the Empire.

"Sharpen your swords, polish your helmets and be prepared for the last victorious battle of our age. As the wise King Willie once said, 'There is no stopping what cannot be stopped, no killing what cannot be killed. You cannot see the eye of the demon. Until him come calling. This is dread man, truly dread.'"
