The idea behind this has already been developed in 2002, because my heart had always been dependent on the North folks with their myths, tales, art and weapons. I wanted Black Metal and Viking themes to be melt with each other. As I introduced my yet rough compositions to some friends of mine, to my surprise I received almost without exception an enthusiastic feedback. But the foundation of a band did not progress fast, because all musicians I had asked were faithful to their bands they were involved in that time. (My respect for your loyalty for what you do!) Later a drummer and a singer could be found, whith who I could record "UTGARD". Unfortunately, a band has not been formed, because both had other plans. So I will go my way further alone and furthermore lead you into Northern distances. Yours, WIELAND
