“One Rode To Asa Bay“ is a track from the fifth BATHORY album "Hammerheart“, which is a favourite of us two," A. Blackwar reveals. "The band was a huge influence for us back then, but also today. You hear that in our early works and in general for our love of atmospheric parts. When Sarah heard the song in the studio, she went to the cabin and started to sing – which wasn’t planned at all. We looked at each other with a devilish smile in our face and said: that was the missing part! This song is pure epic!”
