"Yes!!! What an honour it is to win another Spellemann-award! As you can all imagine, it's a pretty tough race to win such an award in Norway. Not that music is competition, but there are quite a few fantastic heavy metal bands in our country. Just look at the list of nominees this year! 

We wanna thank everybody that was involved in the process of making this album we are getting increasingly proud of!" - the band wrote on the official Facebook page.

The other nominees were: HELHEIM - 'landawarijaR'; SATYRICON - 'Deep Calleth Upon Deep'; WHOREDOM RIFE - 'Dommedagskvad'.
