...our lyrics are based on historical events and mythology of the ancient Balts, and all that is presented through individual experience. In some way we are trying to recall paganism, and show the values, that now are uncommon. In other way we pay honour for our blood. It's a pity, that it is impossible to translate the spirit of the lyrics into english, you must be lithuanian to understand them completely... we sing in our native language - most archaic language in Europe.

...we are satisfied with the reviews, opinions and references on this album.
Obtest interview, Frost, 2008
We are of anti-christian attitude, and we are of pagan belief. I think we don't care about christians anymore. We can't spare our time on that stuff, it's time to create something, everything that is ment to ruin will ruin...
