On this one we pay homage, emphasis and salute our ancestral paths. The song's simply built around the chorus which later formed the whole lyrical concept and theme of the song.

"Remnant Of The Past" is a tribute to the R�k Runestone which is one of Sweden's most famous rune stones with 760 characters carved it is considered to contain the world's longest runic inscription. The R�k stone is located really close to where we have live and have our rehearsal space and thus it's in our authentic historical proximity. The stone is said to be the starting point in the Swedish literary history as the oldest extant literary work. Erected, by runemaster Varinn to his son, probably already in the first half of the 800s. "Remnant of the Past" celebrates this relic and shows that it yet remains strong despite the ravages of time. Despite the Christians attempt to keep it away from public it still stands. The stone has weathered many adversities and today stand proudly reminiscent of the past and for those who find it interesting also in full vigor higher than those who once tried to push it aside and eliminate its existence. The song's not retelling the story that's carved, it's rather emphasize the reason of why monuments like this came to be, its vigor and strength, strong will and refusal to be trampled on.

Musically it's really aggressive and straight forward which is underlined by the lyrical content and the vengeful attitude we wanted to accomplish, all this breaking out in the very powerful chorus combined with clean and fierce singing. The chorus being sung in both English and Swedish, an interesting move we've never tried before. "Remnant of the Past" showcase the power of this mysterious relic our ancestors left us and vengefulness we feel against what religion has caused such treasures during the ages. We spit in your face and this song is the way of how we do it. In the name of Varinn.

We're pissed and hopefully it shows!
