Fenriz commented:

“Prehistoric is a loose term. I just figure it’s our vibe – our take on things – and it’s more a statement that we use old styles to create something new. It means that we are metal, with very loud guitars. ‘Frightfully barbaric but not without finesse,’ I call it. We collaborated in the studio more than ever – who’s playing what is still in a purple haze – but last but not least, it was a sort of hardening of the arteries. We decided to tighten the tourniquet and do eight effective songs brimming with riffs instead of the airy plodding we so much enjoy usually.”
